You learn something new everyday... a few weeks ago, in an interview with Economics Professor, Brandon Sheridan, I learned about The Bennett Hypothesis. This theory believes that as federal aid increases, colleges raise their tuition prices in response. New angles for my story! #JOU4970

On the eve of my rough draft being due, I'm proud of the investigative work I've done so far. I had another interview with a victim today, and am glad that their voices are being heard, especially in light of the Cornell 7 case. #jou4970

Happy #NewsEngagementDay! Take the time to read, watch, listen & share news content today! Remember, journalism is more than just the headlines - it’s often deep reporting that holds powerful institutions accountable.
Today, I’ll be working with my peers in #jou4970 as we share our first drafts 👏

What a ride it's been, from making my first records request to reaching out to everyone I know in the education realm! Learning more about how students engage with history and civics in today's society has completely changed my angle for this story, and I'm looking forward to where it goes. #JOU4970

I was very excited to interview a Board of Ed. member who I remember from the election ballot just 2 years ago! The interview provided valuable insights and connected stories. One teacher's classroom in particular seems to be a source of high praise - let's hope it turns into a source! #JOU4970

Per my course syllabus, this weekend is when I start writing my story for #JOU4970
Do I feel ready? No. But writing a rough draft can show me what questions still need answered, and I'm not afraid to keep working on this project after I've gotten my grade if there's more to the story

Just a quick update!
My student loans story is underway! I have a full draft but am still working out a few things. I have some more student interviews on the way that I'm looking forward to. Happy reporting! #JOU4970

It was great having @jsmithrichards.bsky.social in #JOU4970 class last week. We got to talk about her recent education investigative stories and the processes she used. She taught us so much about how to contact sources, respect privacy and ask hard questions.
Thank you for visiting us!

Today in class, we peer-editied each other's first drafts. A scary and vulnerable hour and 40 minutes, but a helpful and well-appreciated class period of feedback from my classmates. There's no I in Journalism! (wait...) Okay, there's no Me in Journalism :) #jou4970

My reporting for my #JOU4970 story on Elon & Queens' merger is continuing steadily.
I've spoken with a student who went to both schools, a professor from each, and am making plans to talk to board members and administrators from both school.

This year, I am a Senior journalism student at Elon University taking the classes #JOU3400 Literary Journalism, #JOU4970 Reporting Capstone and #STC3702 Brand Identity.
I'm interested in long-term investigative reporting on education, crime & justice and other stories that dig deep into data.

Hi all! I’m Charlotte and I’m a reporter diving deeper into the world of investigative journalism. Over the next few months, I’m excited to share my progress/process with you as I look at systems of power in the U.S., and how even seemingly small changes to laws affect everyday people. #JOU4970

Hi! I’m Keely, a journalism student at Elon University, this semester, I’ll be looking deeper into economics and social policy. I intend to focus on the impact everyday economic policy has on the local community. #JOU4970

Hi! I’m Ellie, a journalism student and sports broadcaster, this semester I’ll be covering sports through a more investigative lens. Instead of focusing on scores and stats, I’m interested in the stories behind the athletes with their challenges, relationships, identities, and experiences. #JOU4970

It’s always amazing to hear from professionals doing the work… Just a quick thank you to @jsmithrichards.bsky.social who spoke with #JOU4970 last week about her work as an investigative reporter with @propublica.org. I especially loved learning about ways to use data to find and bolster stories.

Hey everyone! I’m Liya, a senior journalism student, and for the next four months, I’ll be taking #JOU4970 and getting hands-on experience in investigative journalism.
I’m excited to be learning, asking questions, digging deeper, and hopefully uncovering some stories along the way.

@jsmithrichards.bsky.social was gracious enough to answer some questions from me and the rest of my #JOU4970 class -- I got some really great insight about working with large volumes of FOIA documents, so thanks Jennifer! ^^
