Ashley Northington, BA '05
Ashley is currently the Education Reporter for the Times newspaper in Shreveport, LA. She covers Caddo and Bossier Parish k-12 schools, LSU-Shreveport, and Southern University. Ashley has covered national news such as the Jena Six rally for justice. Ashley plans to write stories about race and class issues, and how these two issues affect education.
"I do get to use my minor in women's studies often. Since a lot of my minor and several of my English classes dealt with race and class issues, I tend to write a lot of stories about how these topics affect education. I recently wrote an article about the yearly release of test scores, but I focused on how the kids from disadvantaged backgrounds--both black and white (most folks think only black students perform horribly on standardized tests--not true)--scored poorly and why. I'm currently working on a race project with two other reporters. The stories I plan to contribute to the project deal with the resegregation of schools, why students self segregate and how selective or magnet schools create one-race schools."
