April 5 - April 11, 2008
While others are filing tax returns, the Class of ‘08 is filing stories. Here are some of the latest:
- Rebecca Harshbarger’s story about how the weak dollar is hurting local immigrants who send much-needed money to their loved ones back home made City Limits.
- Francesca Levy’s piece about a unique anti-domestic violence program was featured in Women’s eNews.
- “Busy” Barry Paddock’s learned that sometimes the picture is as important – if not more important – than the words. He not only scored some strong interviews for a story about a teen stabbed in school, he was the only reporter to come away with the all-important photo of the victim. Check out his work in the Daily News.
- Erin O’Neill’s story about a bitter nursing home strike in the Bronx, where strikers created a “wanted poster” of pictures they snapped of replacement workers, was published in The Riverdale Press.
- Matt Townsend’s article about a controversial rezoning plan that could bring big buildings to Chinatown found a home in The Villager.
- Well, the Mets aren’t exactly smokin’ these days – and neither are their fans. Matt and Damian Ghigliotty teamed on a piece about how some tobacco-happy Mets fans are fuming over the enforcement of the smoking ban at Shea Stadium. You’ll find their story in the New York Observer.
- In our alumni corner, Kate Pastor’s been busy for City Limits, writing a piece on how a rezoning plan could change 125th St. and a story about man who was evicted from his Harlem home – and caught in a legal morass.
