I wrote articles for the monthly Townhall magazine, aggregated news content and posted Op-Eds to the website.
At The Daily Caller, I worked closely with the staff on a variety projects prior to the organizations web launch in January 2009. I researched possible contributors, aggregated news articles and generated multimedia content.
