About
Hi, I’m Diana Jiyue Zhang, a journalism student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) with a minor in public relations. I’m based in Champaign, Illinois, and I love turning stories into clear, engaging video and audio—whether that’s capturing the energy of campus events or reporting community issues for student and NPR-style broadcasts.
I’ve built hands-on experience across campus media teams, producing short-form content for social platforms, operating professional broadcast cameras, and creating on-screen graphics for live sports coverage. I also work as a student reporter and photographer, where I pitch story ideas, conduct interviews, and edit audio and footage using tools like Adobe Audition, Premiere Pro, Lightroom, and Photoshop.
