Blake Evans, Reporter
Blake Evans was born on June 24, 1999 and is an English major and aspiring journalist. He hopes to go into investigative journalism and uncover the next Watergate. Blake’s interest in journalism began with high school speech and debate where he had to use current events to formulate debate cases. While researching current events, Blake discovered an interest in the news, particularly in long form investigative pieces.
Despite this, when entering college in 2017, Blake had no idea of what major he wanted to pursue or what he wanted to do with his life. It wasn’t until Spring semester 2018, that Blake decided he should pursue his journalism interest.
Blake was born and raised in Fresno, California but is thinking about leaving the Central Valley after college. After Spring 2019, Blake hopes to transfer either to a UC or to Fresno State where he plans to get a BA in English.
Another interest of Blake’s is politics. He loves to debate and talk about politics with anyone who listens. Blake’s interest in politics began during the 2016 election. This election was really the first political awakening for Blake as it was the first election he paid attention to.
Blake previously wrote for The Rampage in fall 2018 and is returning for spring 2019.
Blake’s other interests include watching TV, playing video games, and arguing on Twitter. He has one dog, a German Shepherd named Capone, after Al Capone. Blake’s favorite food is pizza. In the future, Blake wants to travel more.
