About

My name is Jacob Clavijo, and I am an independent journalist based in Central Virginia. I am a recent graduate of the University of Lynchburg, where I served as the editor-in-chief for the school’s newspaper, The Critograph. In addition to covering campus news, I also reported on local politics in Lynchburg and community stories. I am dedicated to maintaining journalistic standards and providing a platform for people and their stories.

I will be pursuing my master’s degree in investigative journalism at Northwestern University beginning in Fall 2026. I am originally from Dallas, Texas. Please contact me via email for any news stories you would like me to cover or for any freelance opportunities.
