As the semester ends, I'd like to showcase some of the work I have done for my Reporting I class throughout the semester. I wrote a Q&A story, did an event coverage story for AthHalf and a story about The Classic Center Arena. Check out my portfolio here: ctlsites.uga.edu/rp-ayaanbak…
My favorite story I wrote while covering business and consumer news was my Beat Q&A story with businesswoman Kiarra Trammell. Check out the story here: ctlsites.uga.edu/rp-ayaanbak…
I'm very grateful to @UGAGrady for teaching me how to become a journalist. I've gotten to cover many different types of events, learned about different story types and used them. I learned many interviewing skills, new writing techniques along with learning to cover a beat.
Mayor Girtz goes in to detail about how The Classic Center Arena will be financed and the impact on Athens long term.
Some of the new programming at The Classic Center Arena will include:
- 25+ concerts annually
- Family shows
- Home to a professional hockey team
