ANTHONY BREZNICAN'S CLIPS

Here are some of the stories I wrote as a freelance writer and intern in the Pittsburgh bureau of the Associated Press. I worked an average of 20 hours per week as an intern from June 1997 until the begining of September. I do freelance work for the bureau as often as possible and whenever needed.

For more information about my experience at the AP, read my internship report.

Otherwise, enjoy the clips.
