Story ideas // Merritt Enright

1. Local story: The first Friday of every month, Trade Street closes off vehicle access and transforms into the monthly Winston Salem Gallery Hop. I would cover the events of the February Gallery Hop (drum circle, impromptu violin concerts on the street, open door art studio, artisan tea shops, etc.) as well as interview locals/attendees, studio owners, art dealers, and artists themselves. *interviews would not be conducted during the event.

2. Feature: Several WFU InterVarsity students travelled to Calcutta, India over Winter break to serve in death/dying homes for the elderly. This would be a feature story on the students, their experiences in service, and how they contributed to the community in Calcutta. I would conduct interviews with likely 2-3 students and the director of the IV program.
