Digital Media
In addition to a degree in Economics from San Jose State University, he has degrees in Digital Media and Liberal Studies. However, his breakthrough was his work at Stanford University. While he was the Silicon Valley rep for Examiner.com and Sr. staff writer for Milpages, he earned a Media Fellowship at Stanford. During his residence at Stanford, he stayed at the Stanford Faculty Club and had his own office on campus. If that’s not enough, he was also given a very generous stipend to offset his expenses during his tenure. Indeed, it was his work with Examiner.com and the military website for veterans that secured the media fellowship.
Natchez Democrat Story
Excerpt from a November 2017 story in the Natchez, Mississippi Democrat:
“Few people in Natchez know Randy Yagi.
Thanks to the west coast travel writer, now millions of people may know more about Natchez.
Yagi’s article reporting from his three-day trip to Natchez is being seen in San Francisco, Portland, Chicago and 20 other CBS outlets across the country.
The exposure is just what Natchez needs, public relations expert Lou Hammond told the Natchez-Adams County Chamber of Commerce Tourism Council Monday.
‘One man, three days, 23 outlets with a reach of 489 million people’,. Hammond said. “That is the power of syndication.”
