I’m Back… at the Edmonton Journal!!

May 29, 2009

Long have I neglected my website! But fear not, I will be posting to it throughout the summer.

To make a long story short, I’ve just started a 14-week summer internship at the Edmonton Journal. I’m very excited to be back and can’t wait to see how this longer stint goes.

During my first week, there was a lot of training, so there aren’t a lot of stories. However, I worked on a really great story about death and dying. Donna Wilson, a nurse and researcher at the U of A, studied StatsCan data and found that since 1994, fewer people have been choosing to die in hospitals. I talked to her for over an hour in one of the most interesting interviews I’ve ever done… and it made the front page!
