Wednesday afternoon I met with my 621 reporter, Nick, for the second time. We talked for 30 minutes about journalism electives and major courses, 621 requirements and internship opportunities. Nick's most recent story came from a SAFC meeting that he covered for class. We talked a bit about the difficulties covering a meeting and how you need to write about an aspect of the meeting, not that the meeting happened.
Nick came with a few questions about the speech story, his last required story. I told him my experience covering President Huddleston's state of the university address the year before last and how a speech story can be treated similarly to meeting story. Both of them have broad information and must be narrowed to a specific focus.
Before our next meeting, Nick will send me his latest story so I can edit for grammar and content before we meet.
