Wednesday Work Report

It wasn’t an exciting Wednesday or anything.

I am currently working on a couple Public Life stories. I ended my day with an interview with a source for one of those stories.

The rest of my day I spent on a COVID testing story. I had to look up a lot of information and make a few calls. I didn’t have much luck with the calls. I did have a graphic idea though and utilized a context box so I am pretty psyched about that. One of my goals this semester was to encourage more collaboration between desks in the newsroom starting with my stories. I am glad I got the opportunity.
Here’s the link for the story:
