News Reporting: Inspiration and Thoughts

This first masterpiece is actually from last Sunday. "Dru Smith's love affair with defense" by Joel Lorenzi. I loved! the headline and the summary though. I don't normally read the sports section too thoroughly, but this headline caught my attention. I thought the language in it was excellent, the voice was captivating and I thought the secondary interviews gathered really…

This week, I was feeling a little burnt out by the news. I am seeing the same three topics covered again and again: COVID testing, COVID vaccines, and government problems with COVID. It's starting to become really repetitive. I did like Irina's story about the women who formed a facebook group to help seniors get vaccine appointments. I remember reading…

Happy March! And March has brought sunshine finally. The first thing I want to remark on is the front page of the Missourian paper on Sunday. (Pictured below) When I saw this beautiful story for the first time on the website, it featured the portrait more prominently. This drew my attention. I was disappointed to see that in the print…

So, you all may have noticed I didn't make my usual Wednesday post. This is because I got the pleasure of spending the last week in sunny Florida. It was immensely relaxing and I enjoyed it. While on vacation, I still had two stories publish that I had been working long term on. The first is the Nclusion Plus story.…

This means I am getting all my homework done early this week, including Sunday blog thoughts. To start, one of the first things I saw this week was Jacob's story about the 9-year-old who died from suspected COVID-19 complications. We had…

Or really a Friday. I'm going to blog my Sunday thoughts a little early this week. Sunday is the Superbowl so I am trying to get all my homework done before then so I can stress-free celebrate the Chief's win. So anyway, this week is full of local news and praise for my wonderful peers. I'll start with Charlie's front…

For this Sunday's thoughts, I want to share quite a bit of work done by students in this class or fellow peers. It is always so cool to see people I know succeeding in such amazing ways. I think we produced some good stuff this past week, and for it only being week two of the semester that's pretty cool.…

Well, we made it to the end of a historical week. New President and New Semester! This week, a couple articles really grabbed my attention. You'll notice they are primarily national news, but it was a big deal this week. Next week, we'll narrow in on some more local journalism. The first article for this week is a political piece…
