Stories

I feel like I’ve been fortunate during the first phase of becoming a video journalist. I’ve had ideas to present in the meetings which for the most part have turned out to be good stories.

I been working the same beat for several weeks now so hopefully I will start getting good tips from the contacts I’ve been making.
