He has returned to Cincinnati, and he is living in a nice house with two roommates, Mom and Dad. Sammy loves being back in this city as a young adult and discovering all the great things it has to offer. He holds a B.S. in Newspaper from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University.
There are two ways to write for David’s Voice! Simply write…or take it a step further and become a David’s Amp.
As you know, David’s Voice is primarily an online vehicle, so we’d like to create some presence and awareness in the community. We also are strong believers that David’s Voice is all about our writers. As a result, we’ve come up with the idea to have “David’s Amps,” or key champions of David’s Voice, who would go to key Jewish and non-Jewish events in Cincinnati. We will still have “our voices,” or our writers, but if you feel passionate about amplifying the Cincinnati community, take it a step further and become a David’s Amp!
What Does This Mean For You?
We will do our best to ensure you can attend and represent David’s Voice at key events or things going on in Cincinnati that you’re interested in (and that are in line with David’s Voice mission and goals) at highly subsidized or no cost. You could do anything from blog about the event live on David’s Voice, record video footage including interviews of people, and/or pass out David’s Voice materials, to write a post-event article about your experience on David’s Voice. And perhaps most importantly, besides giving you more “accessibility” to the events you’re interested in, you will have visibility on David’s Voice and in Cincinnati as a young thinker and thought-leader. In other words, David’s Voice gives you a platform to brand yourself in the Cincinnati community. You just need to be ready to go for it!
