Trina Joshi, MA
Magazine, Newspaper
and Online Journalism.

I came to the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University, Syracuse, New York, to become a better storyteller. The school gave me an opportunity to not just hone my writing skills, but also explore various other media of telling stories.

Here I debut the world of new media through this website that I created in a course at Newhouse.

Hope you would enjoy my escapade with HTML, Dream Weaver, Photoshop and InDesign.
