About Me

My name is Anderson Shows, a senior at Oxford High School. I am the head director of the Charger Media Group (CMG), co-editor-in-chief for The Charger newspaper, manager of creative content for Oxford football and baseball, and head director of Oxford High Sports Productions. I've been on the CMG staff for the past 4 years, beginning my freshman year as a staff writer. In 2022, I began to revive our sports productions department after a three year hiatus. The Oxford High Sports Productions team produces a sports documentary series - The Season - that showcases different athletic programs around OHS. Additionally, I am also a student worker at Ole Miss Sports Productions. I help create, edit, and film social media videos and also long form videos for many different athletic programs at the university. Along with journalism, I have also been on our student council for the past 4 years serving as the student body president this year, the Go Green club, the Pickle ball club, and the OHS Cross Country team. Wdhile trying to balance all of my responsibilities can be challenging, I am so thankful for the roles I've been given and so excited to continue to work hard to produce my best work.

Here, the other newspaper editors and I smile with our September edition of the newspaper. At the end of every month when the paper arrives, we get to leave campus and distribute the paper around Oxford. Distributing is one of our staff's favorite things we do and is the highlight of every month in the OHS news room.

These pictures show a glimpse of the editing process for The Season. This football season gave me many days of non stop work and editing to prepare for that week. While sometimes everything can get a little stressful, it is important to me to stay on top of everything I need to do while still producing everything at the highest level that is expected.

This picture showcases one of my favorite games from last football season. Hurricane Helene was heading right for Oxford, MS, but that didn't stop the Chargers from playing their rivalry game against the Starkville Yellowjackets. Although we were unable to come out of the game with a victory, it truly was an unforgettable experience for my staff and me.
