I GOT IT!
Hey everyone, I’ve just learned some great news!
This afternoon I had an interview with Judd Slivka, the Communications Director for Missouri’s Department of Natural Resources. This summer the DNR is employing eight interns to produce stories on all of Missouri’s approx. 85 State Parks for the rebuild of their website. And I’m one of them!
(Here is information on the program and the State Parks Youth Corp.)
For four to six weeks this summer I’ll be hectically driving around the state for three days a week to visit parks and record video, take pictures and write stories about all the things to do in each park. Then for two days I’ll edit and research. Take two days off and repeat.
I can’t wait. This is like a dream come true: what better way is there to begin to a career in environmental/agricultural journalism?
I’ll keep you updated as I go along. Keep an eye out!
