Digital and Interactive
Digital and Interactive Media Division
Since interactive media refers to digital media that depends on the audience’s participation, and digital media is usually a mixture of computerized elements such as moving graphics, digital text, and sound, interactive media surrounds everything we do. The Digital and Interactive Media Department allows The Hornet Tribune to report the news faster than ever before and in ways that the staff never dreamed possible such as the use of the cell phone and website. The website is not merely interactive but also makes relevant information easily accessible to the reader. The Hornet Tribune Online (www.asuhornettribune.com) is an example of students being able to report, write and publish at lightning speed. The online content adheres to the same standards and ethical guidelines as the print content. The core values of journalistic integrity, partnered with the audience and community that it serves will guide the digital work, just as they do in print media.
Amber Mitchell
Managing Editor for Digital and Interactive Media
amitchell3654@myasu.alasu.edu
Hello, I am Amber Mitchell, a junior psychology major from Chicago, Illinois, with minors in biology and sociology. I attended Amundsen High School in Chicago, Illinois, where I participated in the Honors Band, Robotics, and the Girls Who Code, a coding organization.
I chose Alabama State University because they offered me an academic incentive scholarship, which I am really grateful for, because I really wanted to attend a historically Black university. I am the daughter of Delora Mills and Kevin Mitchell.
Because I was the only minority in my community when I was growing up, and because there were few people who looked like me as a transfer student from another university, I always knew I wanted to attend a historically Black college or university. I was aware that I wanted to spend my college years surrounded by people who shared my culture. I have not decided on a graduate program yet, but I do know that I want to go somewhere that is very close to my home. Whether it is nearer to Chicago or even a state nearby. I believe it would be really helpful to have that nearby familial support while attending graduate school.
After I finish my graduate studies, I want to work in therapy to support the mental health of people, and then I want to work in psychiatry. I chose to work with The Hornet Tribune as the managing editor for the Digital and Interactive Media Division after I arrived at Alabama State University because I believe it will help me advance my career, build my resume, and acquire more experience in the field of my expertise.
Any Alabama State University student should absolutely consider working in some way for The Hornet Tribune since it will help them develop both professionally and mentally toward their long-term objectives. They will gain more knowledge and develop their specialized talents, which, in my opinion, will increase their motivation to learn and boost their self-assurance and self confidence.

Hello, I’m James Stewart, a junior social work major at Alabama State University with a concentration on disabled children and military families. I went to Chicago, Illinois’s Ronald Amundsen High School I participated in the robotics club, baseball team, and debate team at Amundsen High School. In addition, I took part in their mentoring program and engineering program.
The son of James and Stacy Stewart, the computer science program at Alabama State University initially drew me to the university. After looking at a few other institutions, I think this one is the greatest fit for me.
One day, I want to work for the federal or state governments as a social worker.
I chose to work as a website content editor for The Hornet Tribune as soon as I arrived at Alabama State University because I believe it will help me advance my specialization, build my resume, and hone my skills in digital display and content development.
I encourage every student who is enrolled at Alabama State University to become a member of The Hornet Tribune staff. I believe that joining the staff will not only help you to advance your professional career, but it will also help you to develop your mindset towards your future goals. It will help you to gain more knowledge, enhance your skills in your area of specialization, and I believe it will help you to become more passionate about learning and more confident in what you are doing.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.
The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humor and the like).
Dominique Pettway
Digital Newsletter Manager
dpettway0828@myasu.alasu.edu
Hello, my name is Dominique Pettway, a freshman at Alabama State University majoring in communications. Before arriving at the university, I attended Saraland High School which is located in Saraland, Alabama.
As the daughter of Tony Pettway and Martha Fuller, I was attracted to Alabama State University because of their communication program. I enjoyed how they have a radio and television studio on campus for hands-on learning. I hope to one day work as technical control for the media industry and later become a producer.
While enrolled in Saraland High School I was involved in the Nation Honor Society, Beta Club, Leo Club, Student Government, Mu Alpha Theta, and the Varsity SHS Track and Field team. I was involved in outside extracurricular activities such as Disrupshun Service Organization Vice President, Head Stroll Master, and Miss DSO as well as Miss Carnival Royale for Carnival Royales 2022-2023 Mardi Gras season.
After arriving at Alabama State University I decided to work with The Hornet Tribune as a E-Newsletter Designer because it will help me gain more experience and knowledge with my major, add to my resume, and have work for my e-portfolio.
I would definitely encourage any student who is enrolled at Alabama State University to join The Hornet Tribune staff in some capacity as it will help them to grow not only professionally but personally as well. This opportunity will also help students understand the importance of media and how media works in today’s society.
