Amanda Newman graduated from George Fox University magna cum laude in 2007, earning a degree in communication arts. After interning her senior year at The Newberg Graphic, an Eagle Newspapers publication, she joined the staff as a reporter following graduation. In 2008, she was hired as online community editor for five Willamette Valley publications of Eagle Newspapers: the Woodburn Independent, The Newberg Graphic, the Canby Herald, the Wilsonville Spokesman and the Molalla Pioneer.
Amanda edits and manages online content for the papers’ Web sites. She also reports on regional and state news, including the Oregon Legislature.
In her free time, Amanda enjoys reading, writing, playing piano (and occasionally organ), spending time with friends and family, speaking French, going to the theater and opera and traveling. She’s a big fan of summer and sunshine.
