Meet the blogger

The life of a copy editor can be an interesting one. Mad dashes to complete your daily newspaper can make for some interesting stories and interesting days. So, as something else to keep my attention I asked for and was granted the chance to blog for The Shelby Star. With that being said, I thought it might be a good idea to introduce myself.

My names Adam Fenwick. I was born in Flemington, NJ (right across the street from Flemington Speedway, amen) along with my twin brother Austin. My family moved south when I was three and we've been here ever since. I graduated in May of this year from UNC Pembroke with a degree in Mass Communications with a concentration in Journalism.

I came to The Star in late June of 2006 as a Copy Editor. I work with a fine bunch of people here at The Star who have shown me the ropes and helped me learn everything I needed to so I could survive in this environment. Saturday-Tuesday you can find me in the office working hard on the print edition of the newspaper. On Friday's however you'll find me out and about at whatever local football game we are covering that week. Last week we covered Burns vs. Forestview. Look for me at future football games, i'll be driving The Star Car and shooting video of the games.

Also every other week you'll find that I write a column for the sports section about my favorite sport, NASCAR. My father raised me on the sport and i've followed it for as long as I can remember.

Well I do believe that should cover the introduction part. Should anyone have any questions, comments or anything else feel free to leave a comment or send me an e-mail!
