Doing beat stories are a lot of work. I learned a lot of skills and new information throughout my journey doing beat stories. I never went to the west side of Salt Lake City before doing the beat stories. The stories taught me that there is a lot more diversity in Salt Lake than most people would assume. Doing these beat stories I realized that there will be a lot of times that I will not know anything about a story and it will be completely new to me. During my career I will have to do a lot of things that may make me feel uncomfortable. Doing these things will strengthen me and prepare me for the greater tasks that I will one day have to face. The beats have not changed my views on politics or religion. During high school I volunteered a lot and have already been aware of the issues in our state. I learned and became more aware of foundations in Salt Lake City that can help people. As a communicator it is my responsibility to report what is going on, no matter how bad or good it is. It was not very difficult to stay objective because as a communicator you must be able to understand that it is your job to be fair and stay objective no matter how you personally feel about the matter.

ABOUT ME:

Originally, I am from Hamburg, Germany. I have been living in the United States for the past 11 years. For the last three years, at the University of Utah, I have been studying mass communication with an emphasis on visual journalism. I am also minoring in leadership studies. I plan to graduate in May 2012. For almost a year now I have been interning at KUTV Channel 2 News. I love to travel and hope to discover stories everywhere in the world.

Reflection: the intentional consideration of an experience in light of particular learning objectives. As I’ve taken the time to reflect on my service-learning course, I’ve learned a lot about myself along with having had epiphanies about my career.

Throughout the course our class focused on nonprofit organizations located on the west side of Salt Lake City. From September to November, we had to write four stories about four different organizations; this process included research and interviews with multiple sources.

It sounded like a simple process to me at first, but contacting sources can be difficult. People may not get back to you, their schedules may be too busy for an interview or they may have trouble answering your questions the way you’d like. Our stories also required multimedia assets. My beats pertained to organizations helping youth, which then raised another problem of permission of taking pictures of children.

A lot of times you’ll come across organizations not allowing photos to be taken, which is a problem some of my peers and I encountered.

These occurrences drew epiphanies about my career. Gathering all the information and placing the puzzle pieces together to write a great story is hard.

Another epiphany and aspect I learned about myself is the concept of giving your reader total background about what you’re writing about. I found that in my writing I’ll use vague words such as “activities” or “things.” What sort of things? What sort of activities?

As I write it out and as some may read, it sounds obvious: of course you can’t be vague with your readers. But that’s something I learned. I was OK with doing it and now have learned not to do it.

About myself, I learned that I still have some brushing up to do with my grammar, punctuation and knowledge of AP style. In order to be successful and a great journalist, I need to know it in my sleep, no excuses.

I knew I loved talking and getting to know people, but reporting for these stories proved that fact even more. The people behind the scenes of these nonprofits are amazing people, they are working solely to help others. I absolutely loved interviewing people and being able to inform myself and readers about these organizations.

I want to inform people the best I can, to let them know every detail of what’s going on and what’s out there.

A journalist’s career is tough, but I want to stick with it and pursue this career.

ABOUT ME:

Originally from San Francisco, I’ve lived in Salt Lake City now for three years. I plan to graduate with my major, mass communication/journalism, and my Spanish and international studies minors. With the help of great professors and internships at ABC 4 News and Salt Lake magazine I’ve developed a love for writing and reporting. I’d love to eventually report for art, music and fashion. I love talking with people and finding out what their story is.

MY BLOG:

This semester has been really different from semesters I’ve had in the past. I took the Introduction to News Writing

Collin McLachlan

course in the spring. In that course, I developed a better understanding about writing for print. I started to consider learning more about the craft of writing to have it as a career option.

After a few weeks in this course, I may have changed my mind. My original intent when becoming a mass communication major was to study broadcast journalism. After doing internships for both KUTV and KSL, I learned that it is important to understand the basics of journalistic writing, even in broadcast. There are a lot of scripts to write, questions to jot down and — especially now with web content — a lot of writing to accompany video stories published on a website.

I took this class to increase my skills in writing, and it has done so. I really do feel much better prepared for the challenges that my career might produce. However, I had an epiphany. For me, working in a print news studio, doing the same work day-in and day-out that we have been doing in class would feel like taking a drill to my brain.

I have enjoyed this class. I’m grateful for what I have learned. I just don’t know if I could take this as my daily job, at least not for very long.

As for this class as a whole, I have learned quite a bit from the beat we were assigned. The story that personally impacted me the most was when I covered the Utah Dream Center, which is an organization that is helping under rivileged refugees from all over the world. Traveling down into a west-side neighborhood for that story really opened my eyes to the poverty that exists, even here in Utah.

But, as far as the social justice topic, I felt I needed to exam it a bit closer. When I was leaving the Dream Center neighborhood, I noticed a man on the side of the road who had just blown his tire while driving. The tire was on the opposite side of the car from the spare tire he was already using, so he had no spare. I pulled over and tried talking to him. Even though he could barely understand me, I tried to tell him about Pick-n-Pull and how it sells cheap tires. I then gave him a ride to his apartment just a few blocks away.

From what I could gather from him: he came from Somalia alone, was living in his apartment alone, and was working as a bagger at a nearby grocery store. The apartment complex he lived in was one set aside for refugees. Judging by the façade, these apartments looked fairly new.

This is where my social justice confusion came in. Many people living down in these areas have histories that I am so glad I don’t have, and their neighborhood really is less then ideal. However, It seems to me that a lot of people who are proponents of social justice cry out, “The rich white man is suppressing the lower class.” The general argument is that those of us who are “white” and “have so much” are putting down those who don’t.

I was confused. I drove this really nice man home to his apartment because his car had broken down. Right after that, I drove to the apartment I live in, in Bountiful. I noticed that, judging by the façade, his apartment and my apartment were roughly the same size. We both had vehicles to drive, although his was temporarily unusable. I too had worked as a bagger at a grocery store; however, I recently quit when I obtained a paid internship in the field I am going to school for.

So after this experience I wondered, “Where is the injustice in this example?” His basic needs are covered as much as mine, and to the extent that mine are.

Now please do not misunderstand me. I am grateful for a better understanding of  people and their circumstances. Not all refugees are in this same circumstance, and I have not gone through anything close to what I imagine they have. I am not saying that they don’t deserve more. I understand that injustice could lie in their lack of opportunity to better their employment or further their education. I can’t argue that.

I just noticed that he and I are living in very similar circumstances, despite stereotypes some may hold about refugees being underprivileged.

ABOUT ME:

Even though I basically live in the same city as the people whom I was able to associate with this semester, I was most struck by how different my life is from many of their lives. Often times we think of people being in a different culture if they live in a different state or country, but it’s amazing how many different cultures there are right in Salt Lake City.

Because of this, I gained a different perspective on what a community is. Many people whom I have talked to during the semester have said that creating a universal understanding of community is a big challenge in the nonprofit organization world, and I can see why. The American way of life is in many respects very different from the way of life that many of these people are accustomed to, so I feel that it is very difficult to define a community by geography. Rather, I now feel that a big part of what makes a community is the commonalities that people share.

In having this opportunity this semester, I not only learned about different people, but I learned more about what a career in journalism might be like. In a way, those two things are polar opposites. Journalism as a business and as a career is very unattractive right now, but having the opportunity to be involved in people’s lives on a more intimate basis like I have had this semester is very appealing to me. Because I wanted to get to know people on a more personal basis, it was difficult at times to remain objective. It wasn’t so difficult in writing the stories, but it was difficult to remain objective when it related to what kinds of questions I wanted to ask different people.

I think many journalists desire to “get dirt” on people, but I definitely learned that I don’t want to make that my primary objective. Rather, I like to tell stories that are uplifting and inspiring. As stated before, I like having the opportunity to build relationships with people and find the good in them. Because of this, one challenge for me as I make a career out of this craft will be having the willingness to write the stories that bring light to problematic issues rather than just the ones that are uplifting.

As a religious person, I had many thoughts throughout the semester about how my faith relates to different people in society. One of my core beliefs is that there is a God and that He loves each of us as His children beyond measure. As I met people from all over the world this semester, that belief rang true. They may not believe the same things I do as it relates to faith, but the beliefs that I have of why each of us is even here in the first place grew stronger.

Throughout this semester, many questions have been raised in my mind about the future of the journalism profession. I still have my questions and my fears about relying on it for my livelihood, but having opportunities to rub shoulders with the types of people that I have associated with this semester make me realize that I want journalism to continue to be an integral part of my life.

ABOUT ME:

When I was 2 years old, my family was watching a basketball game. Everybody thought I was just staring at the screen, but I suddenly blurted out, “There’s Vlade Divac.” He was playing in the game as a member of the Los Angeles Lakers.

That knowledge of sports has continued throughout my life, and as I’ve gotten older, my passion for athletic competition has increased. Combined with a love and a skill of writing, I hope to make a living being involved in sports media. I particularly enjoy writing, though having the opportunity to communicate sports through any medium makes me happy.

I am currently about halfway finished with my bachelor’s degree, majoring in mass communication with an emphasis in journalism. Even though I attend the University of Utah, I currently serve as the editor-in-chief of The Globe newspaper at Salt Lake Community College. In addition, I am a sportswriter at the Daily Utah Chronicle where I am the gymnastics beat writer. I love journalism!

MY BLOG:

I admit, the journey this semester has been difficult. Never having done beat writing in my past, I was instructed to compose four news stories dealing with the west side of Salt Lake City and nonprofits in that area. While I sat flustered at my computer, trying to squeeze more information into my first story, I never imagined I would grow to like this beat.

It was a struggle, because I didn’t know a lot about the west-side community. I live in South Jordan, which is in Salt Lake County, but not in Salt Lake City. Finding stories, sources and scheduling interviews was difficult while trying to balance my other classes and new job located in Utah County.

The struggle was more frustrating when sources were trite with me and didn’t call back as promised. This forced me to have to chase them down, and by their deep sighs and constant shrug-offs to other sources, I could tell I was becoming a nuisance.

Not all my sources were hard to work with. Many were polite, helpful and appreciated the work I was doing surrounding the organization. I was happy when they would ask me where they could find the story once it was published. Their expression of interest in my hard work made me feel it wasn’t in vain.

I noticed improvement in my writing with each story. Through constant editing I learned essential AP style rules and grammatical errors. There are always mistakes to be corrected, but because of my experience this semester I know there are certain mistakes that I won’t make anymore.

When the class first began, I thought the curriculum we were learning about headlines, writing online and social media were valuable, but mostly for journalistic careers. A few weeks into the semester I got a new job as a human resource assistant. I have been a valuable asset to the company through my creativity in writing job posts for recruiting and by implementing company social media.

I was surprised to find that the company didn’t have any social media accounts. Because I have studied new media and social networking, I was able to set up accounts and make the company more aware of the importance of utilizing social networking.

Throughout this course I had the opportunity to speak with people I might never have known, I learned to prioritize my time better in order to complete tasks and I realized that hard work really does pay off. I am grateful for the difficulties faced this semester because they have made me a better student, employee and person.

MY BLOG:

Looking back over the semester it’s safe for me to say that beat writing for nonprofits on the west side has been one of the most challenging assignments I’ve ever undertaken. Not only was I forced to stay on a strict schedule to keep up with the workload, but I was required to up my journalism game as well. I learned first and foremost the importance of editing, editing, editing. And more editing. In the news-gathering stage I quickly discovered that good interviewing and note-taking can make or break a journalist when it’s time to sit down and write. More than a talent for writing, it takes dedication and an almost obsession-like pursuit toward excellence to be a great writer.

I admit, if we had been presented with a list of topics to cover at the beginning of the semester, nonprofits on the west side would have been my last choice. However, through my experiences interacting with some of the people and organizations on the west side, my eyes were opened. My writing led me to a variety of locations and characters, each with their own unique stories. The west side has received a bad reputation over the years that it doesn’t deserve. Its communities are industrious and resourceful. They are a rich and diverse part of Salt Lake that the general public might not be aware of. More than learning to be a better journalist, I feel I have become more compassionate and understanding as a person.

Although the west-side beat was challenging, it was not without its rewards. In the end the stress, the scheduling and the editing were all opportunities for me to gain an educational experience unlike any other. I know that my professional career will be aided by the habits and skills I have developed.

ABOUT ME:

I don’t have a long, heartwarming story about how I woke up one morning and realized my life calling was that of a journalist. In fact I don’t see myself as a journalist at all. I’m a writer. As a writer I devote myself to a wide array of topics. Football, fiction, lyrics, news article, you name it I’ve probably attempted a page or two in that genre at one point or another. I find that writing builds upon itself, regardless of the subject matter. Stripped down to the essentials almost all writing is about telling a story and entertaining an audience.

The path that led me here started just a year ago when, on a whim, I decided I was going to change my major to Communication. Figuring my degree would support me as I pursued my passion to be a novelist, I jumped in head first. Hemingway succeeded so I might as well give it a shot, right? It’s been a crazy ride over the past year. I’ve been challenged to rethink the way I look at the English language and the written word.

I’m a people person and I believe in putting people first. You take care of people and they will take care of you. I believe that hard work is still the path to success. I believe in making my existence worthwhile and meaningful.

“The first time you quit, it’s hard. The second time, it gets easier. The third time, you don’t even have to think about it.” – Paul ‘Bear’ Bryant

MY BLOG:

The beat covered this semester was nonprofit organizations on the west side of Salt Lake City. While covering this beat I learned that there is a lot of help needed on the west side. Many people live with a very limited income; for many different reasons, people are struggling to get by.

Nonprofit organizations offer these people and their families help. There are nonprofits that provide education to adults on how to get a job. There are nonprofits that are for children whose parents don’t have the funds to put them in preschool. Nonprofits help with giving food and clothing to people in need and helping people in a community get a fresh start at a better life.

I have learned that there are many people in this world and a lot of them need a little bit of help at some point in their life. Nonprofits offer that help.

By covering a specific beat this semester I realized that reporting is hard work. You have to make good connections with people in the community. By developing good relationships you are able to make connections and obtain leads for future stories.

Beat reporting has taught me that you have to be good at multitasking. You have to be able to write multiple stories at once. You have to be good at implementing multimedia assets into your story and beat writers always have to be looking for a good story wherever they go.

Overall I learned that beat reporting is something that is constantly changing. Every story is different; you have to be willing to adapt to your surroundings and work hard.

MY BLOG:

These past few months have been times of great change in my life. I decided to pack up and leave the comfortable and familiar surroundings of sunny and quiet St. George, Utah, and head to the cold and sprawling Salt Lake City area, not knowing whom I would meet or what I would find. It is amazing to me that in a few short months I seem to have unearthed years and years of stereotypical notions and ideas that seem to have taken hold of an entire population.

Upon first moving here I really had no idea what the west side of Salt Lake City meant, or what it meant to live in that area. There was never any west- or east-side division in St. George, to my knowledge, and I never suspected there to be such a prominent division here.

One of the most inspiring things I have learned over the course of the semester is that people are genuinely willing to help. Sure, they may get paid and be compensated for their efforts, but I think many of the people I spoke with genuinely want to help needy children and families better their lives. I think they really want to make a difference in a marginalized community. I learned that no matter how grim or desperate a situation may be, there is almost always an organization or person out there to provide hope in some form or another. I met someone whose life was literally saved by the Salvation Army and another woman who took a pay cut to pursue a job helping others.

I feel I learned a lot about myself in realizing just how lucky I am to be where I am today.

Covering this beat really gave me more of an appreciation for my family, because without their love and support, I could be exactly where some of these needy west-side children are. It is in large part a credit to my family that I am able to pursue higher education and do not have to worry about where my next meal is coming from.

This beat was challenging, inspirational, educational and eye-opening for me. After hearing about all the struggles that families and residents go through, I realize that many of them might be dead if not for the work of these nonprofit organizations. I really have new respect for the human spirit and the capacity to help others.

ABOUT ME:

As far back as I can remember I have had a passion for writing. During elementary school I would write as many stories as the teacher would permit and I would always find time to write more. As I moved through school I kept wondering how exactly I could translate my passion for writing into a stable career path. After coming to the conclusion that writing books or novels was not the most promising career choice, I discovered that journalism and the media might be my best options to pursue my passion and make a decent living. More recently, I have become interested in being a sports reporter or broadcaster, which would essentially combine my two most intense passions in life.

After being a member of the first graduating class of Desert Hills High School in St. George, Utah, I continued my education at Dixie State College, where I completed four semesters. During my time at DSC I gained much valuable work experience and met a variety of interesting and knowledge people. I was the news editor for the college newspaper, The Dixie Sun, where I was exposed to a newsroom setting and faced with deadline pressure and editing responsibilities. I was also an RA, or resident assistant, for the on-campus housing department where I worked with students and staff to ensure a productive and enjoyable living environment.

I have now transferred to the University of Utah, where I am working to complete my degree with communication as my major. I hope to one day become a noted sports reporter or broadcaster, such as Bob Costas, and to be able to see my work being enjoyed by thousands of sports fans.

MY BLOG:

I enrolled in this class to determine whether or not I wanted to be a reporter. On the first day of class, I didn’t know what to expect. I had no idea I would cover real issues out in the community. When I learned my class would cover nonprofits on the west side, I felt my heart speed up a little. I hyperventilated. I knew no one and no organizations on the west side. I realized I needed to put aside my insecurities about interviewing sources I didn’t know and strap on some confidence to get the scoop and accurately represent the west side through my writing. It wasn’t easy.

I chose to cover a health beat, so I looked for nonprofits on the west side that provided healthcare services. I found many unique organizations I never knew existed, including the UNP-Hartland Partnership Center and Donated Dental. As a nurse at a substance abuse treatment facility with more than 300 clients, many of whom do not have health insurance, writing about these organizations proved invaluable. Not only do I now have community resources for my clients, I’ve made other uninsured Salt Lake County residents aware that opportunities for healthcare exist.

Driving to and from locations, I have a new appreciation for the west side. I’ve also established contacts in the community and am privileged to have met residents who live on the west side.

Though the workload of the class was difficult, I found the experience crucial in the decision-making process regarding my career. At first, interviews with sources were intimidating, which made me question whether or not journalism would work as a career I wanted to pursue. I worried I wasted people’s time or asked too much from sources when I needed a second (or third) interview to make my story work. But Stephanie Jensen from Donated Dental eased my fears when she sent an email response stating, “No problem! We love the attention,” to a request for a second interview.

I graduate in three weeks, and I’ve made no plans to become a full-time journalist. I’ll probably stick to freelance gigs. But the experience reporting on the west side as well as classroom instruction gave me everything I needed to become a better writer and a better reporter.

ABOUT ME:

I graduated from the University of Utah in 2003 with a degree in nursing and in 2011 with a degree in mass communication-journalism.

I am currently the director of nursing at a substance abuse treatment center in Salt Lake City. When I am not working, I spend my free time writing, taking photographs and looking around for long-term freelance projects. I have a special interest in writing health-related stories and just finished writing seven medical sections in “The Encyclopedia of Eating Disorders.” While in school, I interned at Salt Lake City Weekly for twelve weeks, where I wrote music profiles, news blogs and other stories for online and print. I still do some freelance work for City Weekly.

My work has appeared in Salt Lake City Weekly, The Salt Lake Tribune, The Daily Utah Chronicle and Voices of Utah.

MY BLOG:

I was born and raised in Salt Lake City. One would think that after spending 22 years of my life here, I would have a thorough knowledge of the community. This west-side beat opened my eyes to an area of Salt Lake City that I have never had an opportunity to discover. I learned that Salt Lake City is much more diverse than I originally thought, but also I learned that although we may come from different backgrounds a common ground can always be found. Covering this beat gave me a new perspective on the city that I call home, as well as newfound friends within my community.

The largest obstacle that I had to overcome was that of objectivity. I found it very difficult to remain objective while writing my stories. I wanted to root for the nonprofits that I was covering, and celebrate what they are doing for the community. Covering this beat gave me a new appreciation for individuals who work for and run nonprofits. Nonprofits are such an important part of the community. The individuals who operate them do so with little personal gain, but if you ask them they believe they are the luckiest people in the world. The people in my beat inspired me, and made me want to be a better person. They give so selflessly of themselves for their community. I just hope that in some small way my writings illustrated the wonderful things that these people are doing.

ABOUT ME:

I remember watching the news as a little girl and thinking, “I want to do that”, and here I am years later still chasing that dream. I am currently a senior at the University of Utah studying Mass Communications and journalism. I hope to one day be a news correspondent broadcasting on a news station or TV network. Preferably in the sports or entertainment department, but beggars can’t be choosers.
