Ziegler has contributed to U. Magazine, and one of her columns will soon be published in a college textbook.

This is the third year Moss has been the editor of the Arts & Entertainment section for the Daily. He is a contributor for VIBE and U. Magazine.

He also served as managing editor for the Daily in the summer of 1997 and the spring of 1998.

He was a finalist in the College Music Journalism Awards competition and was an American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) intern at VIBE magazine.
