Justin Fedich has joined The Selma Times-Journal as a staff writer.

He is a native of Long Island, New York but has spent the majority of his life living in Woodstock, Georgia. He graduated from the University of Georgia in the spring with a major in digital and broadcast journalism with a sports media certificate and a minor in communication studies.

Fedich wrote for the University of Georgia’s “The Red & Black” publication and also interned at the Athens Banner-Herald where he had an opportunity to cover the University of Georgia football program.

Fedich will have a focus on sports reporting during his time with the Times-Journal.

“In the past few weeks, I have felt extremely welcomed by the people of Dallas County. I’ve already been inspired by some of the great stories I’ve been able to cover both in the field of sports and in the community,” Fedich said.

“I look forward to telling many more stories in the Selma community, a place that I have quickly and easily become comfortable calling my home.”
