Rylan Miller - I’m a UNC junior majoring in Journalism (Reporting and Editing sequence) and minoring in History. I’ve written for The Daily Tar Heel since 2008, when I started working for the Features Desk. Since then, I’ve become involved in other on-campus publications such as Passport and The Well-Being. My obsession with magazines began when I was in elementary school. I would annoyingly steal my dad’s subscription copies of Time, Newsweek and National Geographic, read them cover-to-cover, cut out pictures and, most of the time, never return them. Luckily for him, I started subscribing to magazines on my own when I reached high school and left his alone. I hope to find a magazine internship in New York this summer that lets me build on the writing, editing, researching and social networking skills I’ve gained at UNC, and learn others that I need to thrive in the magazine industry.
