The newest column for Townbroadcast.com is penned by Martin High School junior Austin Marsman, age 17.
“This column will feature local news published from the student’s perspective,” he said. I will be writing it and plan to bring you news from the Martin area. From Clipper sports to local news about businesses and events, ‘Marsman Reports’ will cover it all.
“Growing up, and still today, I listen to, read, and watch a ton of news. I believe that a fair, free, and unbiased press is vital to our democracy. After sending information to Townbroadcast as a local citizen and the Martin Athletic Department’s media/film guy, this platform has offered me a position.
“I plan to attend college to study political science and journalism/media with the goal of becoming a video journalist.
“This is Austin Marsman reporting for TownBroadcast. This is Marsman Reports.”
Marsman said he plans to offer his first column Sunday.
Mr. Marsman,
Austin,
Welcome, to the Town Broadcast. May I recommend you use this experience to learn from our editor, a journalist with expertise worth learning.
Please never be afraid to print what is on your mind and not what others wish to read.
Thank you, I am excited to start this journey and hopefully learn alot from Mr. Young!
