April 5: Peters '02 to cover education at Abilene R-N

Emily A. Peters '02 became the Abilene Reporter-News' education reporter in April. The Reporter-News wrote:

She worked for nearly four years as a reporter for a daily newspaper in Alexandria, La., where she was recognized by the Louisiana Press Association for her coverage of eight area school districts with more than 75 schools.

"We are very excited to now have on staff an individual with the credentials of covering education that Emily has," Reporter-News Editor Barton Cromeens said. "We believe she will provide our readers with an outstanding look into education in Abilene and the Big Country."

Peters most recently has returned from West Africa, where she traveled extensively and produced coverage of mission work for Christian Web sites, magazines and videos.

"After three years overseas, I'm looking forward to living back in Texas, where you can't beat the Mexican food and people appreciate the role of the community newspaper," Peters said.
