I learned a lot writing these papers. Whether it be more about myself, an election race I never thought I’d cover, or a friends gym, I loved doing these stories. I learned a lot about myself writing these pieces and felt that I grew with each paper that I did throughout the entirety of the semester.
WORKING OUT IN COVID TIMES
Campus Beat
For my campus beat, I originally wanted to do a story on the UNI football team dealing with COVID. But, since apparently they are being held away from the media and the track and field coach never got back to me, I decided to do a story on my friends at home gym and comparing that to other gyms during COVID-19 and how workout equipment has been sold during this time.
THE MOST INTENSE RACE YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF
Election Beat
For our election beat I got tasked to interview the two individuals running for the Sheriff position in Black Hawk Coutny, current Sheriff Tony Thompson, and former Waterloo Police Chief Dan Trelka. (the videos of the interviews can be found on the “Interviews” page of the website)
