This summer I had the incredible opportunity to collaborate with NPR producer Marissa Penaloza while working for News21. For those of you who don't know (I sure didn't) News21 is a student-run national investigative reporting project. Each year the News21 editors chose an important national issue and recruit from the top journalism schools to put together a team to report on the issue. This year we were tasked with covering voters rights issues across the country.
Working with NPR and another News21 reporter, Andrea Rumbaugh, we traveled through Florida for almost two weeks to explore the trials that face Florida felons in getting their right to vote back and what voting means to them. After speaking with dozens of former felons, social workers and public officials, we pieced together a show for NPR's All Things Considered. You can listen to the piece below. We also put together a multimedia slideshow for News21.
A slow day at the office means it's time to update the blog! While trying to organize my next set of posts I realized that I was going to have too many posts with a small amount of photos. So instead of overloading the blog I decided to cram everything from last week into one. So here are some of my favorite shots from last week. Hopefully these posts will go up regularly so check back soon for more!
