August Multimedia Journalism Recap

From switching from covering nightly news to morning news, I still am facing struggles of a new sleep schedule.

This month I also had a new and exciting change that not only effects my sleeping, but my life as well: I began my masters degree in Political Science!

Lots happened in August and it’s almost like a new chapter beginning. While I look forward to sharing all the new things going on, here is a look back at some of the stories I covered that I am most proud of.

I stepped out of my comfort zone this month, and it taught me a lot about journalism. For an example, you can see in my stories that I used sound from real people. To do this I went out and searched for the sound, rather than just set something up with an official ahead of time. I owe credit to my evening coworkers for pushing me to do this while I was having a difficult time envisioning the story. Full transparency: Journalism is not glamorous, but the work you put into the job, will count toward something in the end, even if it doesn’t seem clear in the first place.
