I hope you do well. Print media seems to be a dying industry in small areas, so whatever you do, make sure you learn AP Style so you can land somewhere with a population over 100,000. You can pick up an AP Stylebook at any book store for around $20. I'm actually employed at an AP newspaper in Texas, and I have a segment with a co-columnist called "Column As We See 'Em." It's a fun thing to be in, and you'll love it once you land a job.
