Activity #20: Talk to a Journalist

Interview a reporter, videographer or photojournalist from your local newspaper, radio or TV station, or online news service. Why did they become a journalist? How do they decide what makes the news? You can do this in person, by phone, in a virtual meeting or by email. Tell us what you learned and share a photo if you have one.
