Thanks to J-school alum Ann Marie Awad for inviting me to speak about people finding and backgrounding, finding experts and unearthing statistical and demographic data. Since my old research lessons are somewhat CUNY-centric, I put together a Louisiana and Baton Rouge supplement…
There’s nothing I love more than being at a radio station!
Hamming it up with Ann Marie!
So you obviously survived Sandy, let alone the storm this week.
I noticed Brianne Barry, Jesse Metzger, Nathan Place and Shamanth Rao all made contributions to the “Scenes of Sandy” package on the News Service.
On the same theme over at the Herald, Irina Ivanova, Nicholas Wells and Alex Eidman teamed up to report the hurricane went easy on Mott Haven, and Tanisia Morris took the neighborhood business angle on the story.
Moving to the police beat, we’ve had recent contributions from Nathan Place and Sofia Perpetua, Jessica Glazer and Michael Russell and Alex Eidman and Anna Teregulova.
Ms. Glazer also had a piece on a rooftop garden opening atop a charter school.
And last but not least, Ann Marie Awad reported on Puerto Ricans voting for statehood.
Finally see you again Tuesday! ‘Til then, I’ll keep holding down the fort in our New Orleans bureau (hee hee)…
Yup, that's me this week with the Saints' actual Lombardi trophy from Super Bowl 44.
The latest from the Mott Haven Herald:
Ann Marie Awad reported on a city council redistricting plan. Nicholas Wells wrote about struggling food pantries. And as a team, the two of them covered the police beat.
Brianne Barry had news on the death of one of New York’s finest.
Alex Eidman wrote about some Bronx comic heroes.
And Anna Teregulova found four Mott Haven schools are threatened with closure.
Speaking of Mott Haven, Shamanth Rao’s story about the neighborhood found a home in The Wall Street Journal India’s travel section.
