The SOP Radio Network

If "journalism is the first rough draft of history" then attention needs to be given to the history making efforts of The Student Operated Press. In fact, Founder and CEO, of The Student Operated Press, Judyth Piazza may need to rename her "Ten Year Plan" to the "Five Year Plan" as the site`s statistics are growing incrementally. The site averages approximately 300,000-page views per month. The SOP is truly a premier news sources containing informative articles covering a wide range of topics such as, Entertainment, Art & Literature, Travel, National and World news. In fact, Google News picks up its articles on a regular basis within 5 minutes of publishing as well as all major search engines within 1 to 24 hours and ranks the SOP with a page ranking of 6. Piazza, who is also the Content Manager and Editor of Newsblaze, says, "I believe that the SOP will be in the top 100 most visited news sources on the web within the next three years. It is also my goal to help place 20,000 students in media related jobs throughout the world whether it is broadcast or print within the next 10 years." The SOP was recently awarded a grant from the University of Central Florida. The SOP will act as a liaison between UCF students and "worldwide dissemination of information." UCF students involved in radio, television, journalism and communications will be able to develop projects under the supervision and guidance of UCF, the WGKN, the Student Operated Press and Newsblaze Broadcast Network related to "Information Fluency and the Making of an American President."
