The sky in the midwest is definitely different than the west, evident by this sunset. Here the humidity is so high, the sky can change from blood red to purple to orange in a matter of seconds during sunrise and sunset, giving my seventh-story apartment in Indianapolis an added feature.
Speaking of other added features, aside from not [...]

Hi, my name is Michael Higdon, you may remember me from such pages as the Chuck Norris page (07) or the sperm and egg cover this year. I am the former design editor of The Nevada Sagebrush.
Right now I’m in Indianapolis enjoying my Pulliam Fellowship at the Indianapolis Star, a superb and innovative paper deeply [...]

For those of you who read our blog on a regular basis, you should be familiar with Photo of the Week.
So imagine my and Becky Chase’s surprise when, while doing some Facebook snooping, we came across the following photo:

That’s right, folks. It’s The Photo That Should Have Been - the photo that originated Photo of [...]

Our final issue is being put together right now. And this is the last time some of our staff will ever put out an issue of The Nevada Sagebrush. I will now take some time to honor their accomplishments. Good luck seniors. I encourage other staffers to add to this post if they feel anything [...]

Let this be a lesson. Never, ever think Michael Bay is capable of making a good film.

Again, words fail to convey what it is I must do. the Sagebrush staff attended the Relay for Life event. It was amazing to say the least.

Because I am ineffective with the use of words I will supply this blog with another photo. 
 
Look at the staff. Aren’t they cute, making a paper and all. 
 
Please take the time to look at the larger version. 

That’s what working in this office is all about. When you’re approaching deadline with only an hour and a half to go, the office breaks into song. “Sweet Caroline, Bum bum bum!”

I spend a lot of time thinking about journalism. I run a college newspaper, after all. But as my year as editor of the ‘Brush begins to wind down my attention is beginning to shift onto something else/more terrifying: The state of the newspaper industry and where I’m - and my colleagues are - [...]
