I had the opportunity to work with the AJC to do live coverage on Election Day 2024 in Athens-Clarke County. I interviewed voters before polls opened at 7 a.m. and continued to have conversations until 2 p.m. at five different polling locations across the county. This opportunity allowed me to gain experience talking to a variety of people and writing quick stories with tight deadlines. This was one of my favorite experiences because I was able to take the skills that I learned from each of my Grady classes and apply it to a real-world experience and report on a newsworthy event that was highly important across the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most important skills taught throughout my time as a journalism student that I was able to use, was making sure to obtain a source’s contact information in order to be able to follow up with them. Because I was able to do this, I was able to verify details from my story and ensure that the information I published was factually accurate- my main goal with journalism. It was important for me to receive this feedback from multiple professionals in the field to help me recognize the importance of the work I was doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
