Journalism alum Sal Nudo publishes new guidebook on Champaign-Urbana

Sal Nudo (MS '16, journalism) has published a guidebook, Champaign-Urbana Greater than a Tourist, which contains advice on places to eat and visit in C-U and information about the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The book is part of CZYK Publishing’s Greater than a Tourist series. 

The 50 categories in the guidebook include the twin cities’ annual events and many parks and restaurants, interesting C-U facts about the town’s technological innovations, famous past residents, and metro-agricultural landscape. Art, cultural heritage, family activities, and shopping options are among the guidebook’s many other topics.

“From seeking books on the third-floor nooks and crannies of Jane Addams Book Shop to strolling among the sunflowers in the wide-open field of Clearview Farm, writing the C-U version of Greater Than a Tourist brought me closer to my town and gave me a renewed appreciation of our local businesses and residents,” Nudo writes.

Nudo is a writer and communications professional who has worked at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign for nearly 20 years. He has published multiple books that are available on Amazon, including  Learning Journalism Where Writers Rise: Four Enlightening Years in Graduate School at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Far From Mars.
