Story of the Week 9/14

via myreporter.com

Every district that you’ll cover will have transportation issues.

These stories are easier said than done, in that, you have to find parents to tlak to.

It’s really tough to track them down, but, once you do, you’ll have your story.

The trick is to get both sides of the story. What does the district think? What does the school board say? Do the parents have a valid argument?

There are a lot of moving parts and you have to be aware that the stories aren’t going to make many people happy. It’s a stressful story. I have no problem admitting that.

You’re just trying to get the story out there.

Keep your head up and do your best.

That’s all your editors can ask for.
