Amanda Renner, a student at Southern Illinois University, is working with the Beachhead this summer in order to gain experience with an alternative newspaper. Renner’s academic goal is to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Journalism, next year, with a concentration in news/editorial and a minor in sociology. She can be reached at ARenner@freevenice.org.

The Collective sincerely hopes that Amanda’s work at the Beachhead will not damage her ability to get a job in the mainstream media.
