Alissa Swango and the Depths of "New Media"

by Lexi Matsui
When Alissa Swango entered the Columbia Journalism School as a new media concentrator in 2005, she came in with something very few of her classmates had – an undergraduate degree in online journalism and five years of experience in an online newsroom. Her extensive experience, combined with the skills she fine-tuned in reporting and writing at the journalism school, puts Swango very far ahead of the online journalism industry. The new media journalist has worked with USAtoday.com and MSNBC.com, a company she has always looked up to for its online content.
