Almost finished with week one

Essentially, I'm going to use this to keep track of what I do at work. I may write about other things. It may all depend on what I feel like and how much time I have. I should update daily so that I remember what things I did at work.

Monday:
Went on Boardman and Poland rounds with Denise. Learned the ranks. Wrote a brief about a woman who stole $10,000 worth of jewelry from J.C. Penney. Started a story on Boardman's Memorial Day parade.

Tuesday:
Went to Poland for rounds. Returned to newsroom and drove Angie to St. E's in Austintown to talk to the police officer who was shot. Finished the parade story. Started a story on watershed.

Wednesday:
Made the entire rounds trip with no interruptions. Lots of crime in Boardman. Wrote three briefs and two were printed. Those printed were on a Molotov cocktail and drug possesion and trafficking. Worked on the watershed story. Started a story on some area teens going on a free trip to Israel.

Thursday:
Interviewed someone for the Israel story. Went on rounds by myself. Talked to my second source for the Israel story. Wrote a brief which turned into a story about a guy jumping at a school bus window, inducing panic. Then spent lots of time working on a story about a government official not paying for his chicken wings, solely based on some confusion about store names and locations. Stayed an hour and a half longer than I was supposed to.

So that's up to now. I'll check in again tomorrow.
