Reflection — Chris Caswell

My second story was an interesting experience, because it was my first time covering a speech or discussion. Before, I had only covered press releases or features on different student organizations. One challenge I discovered in covering an event like the College Republican one was that since I could not record it, it was just difficult to write down quotes fast enough without butchering them.

It was very interesting, despite this challenge, covering and learning more about a public figure such as Guillory. It was fascinating learning about his experiences with civil rights and hearing how those experiences shaped his beliefs today.
