It was another busy week. The group I was in charge of project managing somewhat successfully completed their story last week. It is a very interesting, eye opening experience to be on the opposite side of where I was last year. It was cool to sit in on the grading meetings and really get an insight into what the professors are looking for in our stories.
My group this week got off to a bit of rocky start because they changed their story on Monday, which I kind of anticipated happening. They seemed to work really hard and pull the new story off though. I just hope they were able to make it compelling enough to be interesting, so that they get a good grade.
At Newsy on Tuesday I worked on my own story idea about the farmers protesting in Brussels over low dairy prices. It was actually a quite interesting story. The only problem is that I couldn’t find a lot of sources that presented a good argument on the issue, but I think I found enough to make it a concrete and substantial story. Here's the link: http://www.newsy.com/videos/crying_over_spilled_milk
On Thursday, I pitched another story that got approved about the Supreme Court cases involving a cross on federal land in a Californian national park. It’s an interesting case, and it turned out to have a lot of complicated layers. I don’t know if it’ll get published or not, but if it does I’ll post a link.
Next week is my last week at Newsy before going on to KBIA, an NPR affiliate.
