WJI 2019. Day 12 PM

We spent the morning listening to exciting stories from World reporters, so after lunch we were eager to get to work on some stories of our own. For the next few days, we are working in three groups: broadcasting, news, and feature stories.

After lunch, each group met to discuss their story ideas and begin preliminary research.

Then we started making phone calls. Lots of them. We called business owners, non-profit workers, farmers, and police officers.

We identified ourselves as World News Correspondents. We felt official.

We explained our stories and asked for interviews.

After dinner, we reconvened for a news huddle. Lee shared a few reporting stories and some advice:

“Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good.”

And then we got to work again, aiming for the good.
