“There are solutions out there. We just have to look.”

Ryan Nguyen is the podcast editor for the Daily Emerald, an independent, student-run newspaper at the University of Oregon, and an aspiring education reporter. He manages, produces and edits several Emerald Podcast Network programs a week about student government, sports and science. He is also a reporting intern for Eugene Weekly.

Nguyen also produces audio stories for Storytime, a weekly radio show focused on free-form narratives, for KWVA Eugene, 88.1 FM, the UO campus radio station. There, he also works for UOwn the News, a weekly radio show roundtable on local, state and national issues.

Previously, Nguyen covered student government as a news reporter for the Emerald. His stories appeared once a week in the weekly paper and online. Outside of his beat, he wrote stories spotlighting the dropout rates of UO’s Robert D. Clark Honors College, as well as hazing by a UO fraternity that was later suspended by the university.

He also reported a long-form story for FLUX Magazine, a UO publication, about the societal stigma that male nurses face. The magazine won a 2019 Crown Award and a 2018 Magazine Pacemaker for general excellence.

Nguyen will graduate from the UO School of Journalism and Communication with a Bachelor of Science in journalism and a minor in computer information technology in June 2021.
