Grace Romine

Biography

Hi there! 

My name is Grace Romine and I am from Columbia City, Indiana – a small town about 30 minutes outside of Fort Wayne. I am a third year student studying Journalism with a concentration in News Reporting & Editing and a minor in Human Centered Computing.

While I have been a student at Indiana University, I was an intern with Professor Dr. Mike Conway in the development of his website – the Indiana Broadcast History Archive (Spring 2023) and a part of Media School Professor Dr. Lenoir’s Fashion Media research team through the Center Excellence for Women & Technology Emerging Scholars program (Fall 2023- Spring 2024). In October 2024, I will present my research, “Breaking News (Taylor’s Version): The New York Times and a Taylor Swift Media Frenzy” at the Midwestern Popular Culture Association conference at Depaul University in Chicago.

I have been involved with the Indiana Daily Student for four semesters, as an Arts Columnist, IU Auditorium and Local Business reporter and now as an Arts Desk editor.

In 2024 I was accepted into the first cohort of The Media School Academic Honors Program and the Kappa Tau Alpha Honors Society for Journalism and Mass Communications students.

My freshman year I volunteered at the Bloomington community radio station WFHB as a News Correspondent. I was an intern at CBS WANE15’s lifestyle show “Living Local 15” and Fort Wayne Magazine in 2023. 

Outside of school, I play intramural tennis, love to watch 90s television, and host friends over at my house!
