Eddie E. Bynog Jr.

Journalist

United States of America

Hello, My name is Eddie Bynog and ever since I was a kid I have always been fascinated with reading news and learning about people, situations and events; whether in my own small town or the world over. This natural curiosity led me to become the news editor for my college newspaper The Southern Digest. On May 12, 2017 I graduated from Southern University with a degree in mass communication: print. Currently, I am looking for a position that will allow me to meet new people, tell stories that are important and uncover truths that only a journalist can. I hope you enjoy my writings!
