A muckraker/gonzo journalism inspired blog. A writing outlet for me for five years. A place for me to apply the lessons learned in pursuit of my Bachelor’s Degree from Northeastern Illinois University. The BA is in Media Communications. Originally I wanted to major in Journalism, but timing is everything. My mentor, Kathleen Kane, convinced me to broaden out my degree.
Here you will find blog articles on hard news, current events, economics, environmental issues, sports, entertainment, personal development, and professional wrestling.
My last article was written the month before I moved from Chicago, Illinois to Davenport, Iowa to train with Seth Rollins at the Black and Brave Wrestling Academy. After graduating I also started working at a digital advertising firm based in Chicago called Base Zero Studios.
At Base Zero Studios I did copywriting, graphic design, blogging and social media management for a variety of small business based in the Chicagoland area. I was able to be a professional digital content creator. I learned so much from a great man, James Speers. I am deeply grateful for my time with Base Zero. I hope to work with James again in the future.
As I look forward to what’s next, I had forgotten that I had kept this blog listed on my LinkedIn account. Rather than just have the last blog article I wrote be the first thing people saw, I thought it best to have some sort of welcome and book end post. I am likely to blog again, but I don’t know that it will be under this brand/label.
Thank you for your interest in my writings, feel free to connect with me on social media. My old handle is still active. I am @ anarchyroll on Twitter and Instagram. You can find me on Facebook and LinkedIn as Anthony Roll.
