The present OER project Noticia, Crónica, Entrevista: Journalistic Writing in the Bridge Program would not have been possible without help from a number of individuals and units at Utah State University. Specifically, I wish to thank the following:
- Stephanie Western, Open Educational Program (OER) Manager, whose guidance and enthusiasm encouraged me to embark on this project and opened the door to multiple creative opportunities through OER at USU.
- Elisa Taylor, Senior Instructional Designer at the Center for Instructional Design and Innovation (CIDI), for her support, insights, and guidance during the creation of this manuscript.
- Laney Hicks, Student Worker at the Center for Instructional Design and Innovation (CIDI) for her infinite patience while editing the manuscript.
- Shay Larsen, Graphic Designer at USU Libraries, for her creativity and initiative in designing the textbook cover.
- All others who, directly or indirectly, helped during the creation of this volume.
- This project would not have been possible without the support, encouragement, advice, confidence, and inspiration that I have received throughout my academic career from my beloved husband, JP Spicer-Escalante, and our dearest son, Dani Spicer-Escalante. I will be always in debt to them for the countless hours I have spent away from their company while working on this manuscript.
