Message From EWA's Director 
EWA’s new public editor, Emily Richmond, has taken the reins at EducatedReporter.com and is blogging daily with great story suggestions
and new angles on old topics. If you’re looking for a fresh spin on the well-worn "back
to school" article, this is the blog for you. How does early-childhood education figure into Race to the
Top? How do you interview kids more effectively? What stories are perfect for
someone new to the higher ed beat?
Answers to those questions and many more are waiting at The
Educated Reporter. Check back daily, or add it to your RSS reader. You can also get notified about new posts when you follow @EdWriters and @EWAEmily on Twitter.
Best regards,
Caroline Hendrie
