Every day, I am responsible for pitching, reporting and writing one to two business stories. I conduct regular interviews with sources and have worked to build up strong relationships with decision makers in Louisville in order to remain informed on important goings-on. I connect with readers and promote stories through Twitter and my professional Facebook.

As a business reporter, I produced two to three stories a day for the website while working on content for the weekly print publication. I balanced a mix of short-term stories with longer, more in-depth profiles of companies, business leader and key community issues. I also was responsible for maintaining an active presence on Twitter, where I interacted.

My main duties included organizing documents within the office, filing documents with the clerks and picking up documents at the courts. I have learned how to look-up various court documents such as complaints and requests for discovery.

I wrote both hard news and feature stories, including coverage of Ohio University's budget shortfall and a student riot. I covered breaking news — including meningitis outbreaks and administrative departures — Board of Trustees meetings, Ohio U's Student Senate and crime. Much of my reporting at The Post dealt with public records.

I wrote a music review and several staff picks per week. Staff picks briefly highlighted interesting events taking place around Louisville. I also profiled several local artists and wrote a breaking news story about a homeless shelter that announced it would move farther away from its clients to expand in size. Collectively, the interns wrote a cover story.
