621 Meet and Greet

A few days ago I met with my newswriting partner, Nick, for the first time. We met in the MUB for about 20 minutes getting to know each other by chatting about our interests, goals and previous journalistic endeavors. I could tell immediately that he was a dedicated student journalist and would be great to work with. Nick told me how he switched his major to journalism sophomore year and truly hit the ground running, getting a position as an editor for TNH. His area of interest is sports journalism and he's covered stories about many different UNH teams already. Unfortunately, his main interest is in baseball and he has little chance to pursue that while covering UNH sports. After reading his most recent story, I could tell that Nick already had a good handle on writing news stories. He told me he was the type of personal who seeks out more experience and more critique which is why he jumped at the chance to work with an editor.
