Sarah Self-Walbrick has been hired as the new business reporter for the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal in Texas.
Self-Walbrick says she will cover the local business community by writing profiles, trend and investigative pieces.
“I also get to write for Lubbock Business Inc. magazine, a business-to-business publication, that I helped start last year as a freelancer,” she said in an email to Talking Biz News. It’s a monthly publication.
Self-Walbrick is a Lubbock native who recently graduated with a master’s in mass communications from Texas Tech University, where she also earned two bachelor’s degrees. As a student, she co-ran The Hub@TTU, an online student publication, that has been recognized as one of the best college media websites in the nation.
She also teaches a junior-level journalism course as an adjunct professor at Texas Tech.
