“The Post,” directed by the acclaimed Steven Spielberg, offered the dramatic and true story of the Washington Post’s struggle to reveal the truth in the wake of a massive government scandal. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards and told a ground-breaking story that was all too relevant today during a time of great government controversy. “The Post” isn’t just about the government, however. The film also digs into what it was like to work as a journalist in 1971. And on top of that, what it was like to work as a female journalist.

Career Issue: Lobo point guard Hunter Greene transitions from basketball to business

Aaron Cowan | February 5

At 6 feet, 7 inches, former Lobo point guard Hunter Greene is hard to miss. Greene played basketball at UNM from 1983 to 1988, under head coach Gary Colson, getting redshirted in the 1985-1986 season. “It definitely helps to have the height,” Greene said. “I think that’s probably what got me attracted to basketball was my height.” Greene did well on UNM’s team, and said that he thoroughly enjoyed his time there. “I wanted basketball to last longer,” he said. “I graduated as the all-time leading scorer.” From there Greene said he felt that he had to give the NBA a shot and tried out for the Los Angeles Lakers.

Career Issue: Former Daily Lobo sports writer and IFDM student on to new things

Matthieu Cartron | February 5

Offering several hundred academic programs, the University of New Mexico produces graduates that enter all sorts of different fields—but what do students who have worked at the Daily Lobo go on to do? Not all journalists at the Daily Lobo go on to pursue careers in journalism. And those who do don’t always know where they might end up or what they might cover. Although still in the budding stages of her career, UNM 2017 graduate Isabel Gonzalez could not have imagined being where she is now. Gonzalez majored in multimedia through the Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media program (IFDM), and is now the digital media coordinator for the Lobo Lair. The Lobo Lair is a website that allows UNM fans to interact with one another and connect with Lobo athletics. The website is essentially a group of forums—monitored by modulators—for UNM’s most popular sports, including men’s and women’s basketball.

Earlier this month, while checking in with immigration authorities to renew his annual extension, he was detained and jailed. Ragbir's is an interesting and compelling story, but this column is about Forrest and the elegant hypocrisy of her words in ordering his release:

Back in 1987, I heard Bill Clinton give a speech in which he said something that I really agreed with and liked a lot.

Career Issue: Column — Jobs in sports for non-athletes

Cameron Goeldner | February 4

For most young athletes, there’s a moment when they realize that they don’t have the athletic ability to play their sport professionally someday. For many, this is where their hopes of someday working in sports comes to an end — and that’s fine, but that doesn’t have to be the case. There are many careers for those of us who may not be athletically gifted enough to play beyond our youngest years (anyone else get cut from the high school golf team? No? Just me?), so let's start with the obvious ones.

For many employers, details matter. For some, that could even mean what you wear to an interview. Markio Thomas, a nonverbal communications instructor at The University of New Mexico, said she suggests interviewees “find a balance between formal and being comfortable with what you're wearing. Wear something that still shows your personality.” According to Thomas, clothing is a key part of nonverbal communication — there are many aspects to nonverbal communication, but clothing is the one thing a person has the most control over.
