This week's podcast features Alexis Brown, a senior at NYU. When Alexis first got into journalism she focused on hard news pieces, but living in New York City has taught her that journalism is much more than only covering one topic. Alexis' beat lies in covering art. I love the story she tells in this podcast of learning glass blowing. As she says, it demonstrates that to really make the most of your story, you have to make the most of the topic you are covering. If that means jumping in and getting your hands dirty, then so be it.
Next year Alexis will be attending grad school to expand her knowledge of the arts and she hopes to travel to experience different cultures around the world. This will definitely make her stand out from other freelance writers and hopefully give her a great career.
Listen here:
Congratulations Alexis, and good luck next year!
