Andrea Washington
Female
OCCUPATION: Journalist
AGE: 24
LOCATION: GA
BIO: Andrea Washington is a staff writer and web reporter for the Coastal Courier. She joined the newspaper in June 2006 after stints as an intern and a freelancer.

Washington began her career in journalism as a 10th grade student when an opinion piece she wrote for an English assignment about the Elian Gonzalez case was published in an independent newspaper. As a high school senior, she was the editor of the school newspaper, as well as a reporter and head writer of the weekly news broadcast.

While attending Georgia State University, Washington worked as a world news and living reporter for the GSU Signal and an arts and entertainment reporter for the student online magazine, Rampway. Additionally, she wrote, directed, produced and edited a number of short documentaries on issues such as first-generation Americans and globalization. She also worked on the 2005 24 Hour Film Festival award-winning short film, "Judgement," as a script supervisor.

At the Courier, Washington combines her background in cross-media platforms to cover political, health, social, military and education/youth issues throughout Liberty County. She is also a co-advisor for the newspaper's Youth Advisory Council.

Having spent most of her life traveling from state to state and country to country as an Army brat, Washington has a special interest in international affairs and human rights issues, which is often reflected in her blog entries.

Washington graduated magna cum laude from Georgia State University with a bachelor's degree in film and video and a minor in journalism.
