I was able to get an interview for Columbia Links a program for high school students that are interested in journalism, it was a competitive program there were way many applicants than spots but I felt very comfortable at the interview.. The program lasted eight weeks three days a week, two hours every day, from 5-7 PM. In the program I had the pleasure of meeting people like Barbara Allen, Philip Jackson, VOYCE, Sarah Karp, Regina Waldroup, and my mentor Clarence Waldron.
It took a lot of research and failed attempts to contact my interviewees, class after class with professor Billy Montgomery from Roosevelt University I learned how to improve my research skills and how to trace information to get personal phone numbers, emails, or addresses. Which allowed me to interview Executive Director of the Institute on Public Safety & Social Justice at the Adler School of Professional Psychology Elena Quintana, and Attorney Mark Almanza volunteer at First Defense Legal Aid.
The Article will be published online as well as 60,000 copies in print in the R_Wurd Magazine, which will be distributed all over the city of Chicago. The Magazine will be released on May 29, 2014 at a dinner and graduation ceremony for the participants, This will take place at Columbia College.
