Nia Noelle became interested in the field of broadcasting during her sophomore year of high school. She auditioned and was selected as District Spokesperson of Norman High School's Channel 29. She found herself totally enmeshed in the area of media by learning to deliver news packages and hosting a weekly news broadcast. Upon graduation Nia Noelle, enrolled in the William Fulbright School of Arts in Broadcasting Journalism at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Her focus was primarily on television broadcasting but noticed there was a void at the university. She was instrumental in the launching of UATV Jamz and KXUA-FM. Nia Noelle became the Director of Multicultural Affairs at UATV and hosted a mainstream urban show at KXUA-FM. In May 2006, Nia Noelle got the call to come home to her birth state of Ohio and join the family at Radio One Columbus. Nia Noelle’s long term professional goal is to grow by working with experienced professionals that take a hands-on approach with their teams to achieve the organization’s goals. Nia Noelle also has also made plans to venture into other avenues of media in the near future.
WATER COOLER TALK: Meet Erin Cox, an honor high school student in Massachusetts who is fighting her school suspension.
Erin helped a friend out by being her designated driver. The friend had been to a party and was drinking and wanted to leave. Minutes after Erin showed up to take her friend home, the police showed up.
But Erin’s school has a zero tolerance policy for drinking and drugs and suspended Erin even though she hadn’t been drinking. In court, an officer testified Erin was sober at the party and should not be punished.
Do you agree with the schools decision to suspend Erin? Or do you think Erin’s suspension should be lifted because she was helping a friend out?
