Grant Dennis, TRL Multimedia Editor/LNN Executive Producer
Grant Dennis is a senior at Lovejoy High School and has been involved with journalism for three years. Initially taking the class only for a technology credit, Grant has fallen in love with broadcast journalism and through it has discovered his passion for film, which he will major in next year at the University of Texas at Austin. This year, Grant is serving as the executive producer for the Lovejoy News Network and the multimedia editor for The Red Ledger. Grant’s hobbies include taking photos and making creative videos, as well as playing video games and hanging out with friends. Grant’s idea of a perfect date would be drinking hot cocoa by the fire and watching “The Emperor’s New Groove” on Blu-Ray.
Shae Daugherty, Section Editor
It’s Daug·herty, /Dortee/, Daugherty. It’s not that hard. Coaches never get it wrong, and that may have been what drove her to sports photography in the first place. When she isn’t leaving sticky notes all over the newsroom, she’s in the heart of the sideline with a few cameras and a small bag of SD cards. She spends nearly all her time with the Sideline Team, causing trouble or residing in the studio. Her favorite part of football season is the two hours before any game, when the photographers go to dinner, or at least they try to. Shae’s sustained many injuries during her five year run as a sports photographer due to her inability to see players charging at her. Ironically, the Photo Editor is legally blind, and will crack numerous blind jokes, at the disapproval of one Benjamin Nopper. Her goal this year is for The Red Ledger to finally win the Pacemaker, and nothing will stand in her way. Coming in right at 5’10”, she certainly doesn’t need heels, but she wouldn’t be caught dead without them. Let her leave you with this one piece of advice–keep your heels, head and standards high.
