Interning at WAMU 88.5 News in DC

Starting June 1 I've been interning at public radio station WAMU 88.5 News. So far I've reported and produced a few stories, including one about the security guard who died from the Holocaust Museum shooting. We interns are also working on a series, “The New Economic Reality for Young Americans”.

Legislative News Update

This is an example of some of the work I'm currently doing as a Legislative News Reporter on the 61st Montana Legislature. My co-reporter and I analyze and research important bills and we produce 4 bite stories, an update of what happened during the day, a preview of what will happen the next day and a package of the big story of the day. We attend committee hearings and floor sessions and interview legislators, the governor, and other governmental officials.
