My first two articles / pls read

Recently wrote my first two articles for a ucla class in journalism. I’m a budding journalist reporter and looking to make some waves in the industry.

Here are the link to both articles. Curious if anyone reads them to see what they think. Thank you in advance.

Please I need your suggestins

Hello po, I am journalism student po and I need your suggestion. We are tasked to make a documentary for our final project. In this documentary we need to find VAWC victim or women who suffred from sexual abuse, verbal abuse, etc., for our case study. Me and my groupmates are struggling to find one since this is a very sensitive topic and it might trigger someone's trauma. What makes it more difficult is we need to find her on a specific place only which is somewhere in Bulakan, Bulacan.

We already talked to people living there but locals said that they don't anyone who are VAWC victim in their place. We already talked to barangay offcials but they just repeat that no one was abused in their place

However, our prof refused that it is impossible that there's no VAWC victim there. And he still pushes us to find one since he don't want any other topic aside from this.

Please I need your suggestions how can we make this documentary feasible 😭

Recently, I commented on a Tampa Police Department Facebook post, and that post was removed or hidden. That's ILLEGAL. So, I did a records request to find out who at TPD was breaking the law. This is their response:

Hi folks, with the injustice arises and suppression of freedom of press in Hong Kong, what kind of new media or ideas would you suggest to start with?

Any kind of books recommend for me to read? Video about citizen journalism?

p.s. the only pro-democracy paper has been shut down a week ago and people do not know which paper to read anymore, any tips would be helpful thanks!

Looking for help starting a local news website

During the last few years, I have been operating as a citizen journalist covering news and events in my home area of central Michigan. This summer, I decided to expand out into an independent website which I've called The Mid Michigan Journal. I need some help as I try to get it going. I was wondering if there was anybody who might be interested in volunteering some of their time or just allow me to pick their brains on the best strategies to use as I grow my website.

You can reach me via Reddit. I also have a sub reddit started at /r/MidMichiganJournal. The website itself can be found at r/http://www.midmichiganjournal.com. Thanks!

Invitation to analyze a database of Trump administration appointees and their past

(Please note: this is my first time posting here; if you feel that there is a better place to make this kind of journalistic crowdsourcing request, please let me know.)

If you listen to the WNYC podcast "Trump, Inc" podcast, you may have heard about ProPublica's Trump Town database.

This is a database of 2600+ (and growing) Trump appointees along with their employment history. Trump, Inc. and ProPublica invite anyone to browse through these records in order to find interesting data. This ProPublica page gives some ideas of what might constitute "interesting" data. ProPublica will credit you for any information you may find, but you can also report your findings anonymously to the Trump, Inc podcast.

I'm not affiliated with WNYC, nor with ProPublica, but I do find this an interesting project to invest some time in. How about you?
