Columbia, Mo

As a reporter, I shot, wrote and edited original stories for the station's newscasts. Additionally, I tweeted from the field and wrote web stories for the station's site. KOMU emphasizes a digital first approach to reporting. To me, that's necessary in the age of smartphones. I also produced videos for the station's Facebook page, which has over 68K likes. I even used a 360° camera to showcase a basement covered in historic Americana memorabilia.

PolitiFact Missouri is a partnership of the University of Missouri School of Journalism and PolitiFact.com, a Pulitzer Prize-winning Web site of the Tampa Bay Times, to help readers find the truth in politics. The process for these stories involved thorough research. I reported on a wide array of topics: tax law, infrastructure and state regulations. In order to determine the rating for a statement, writers and editors would vote. Then we'd debate on how we voted, and afterward would vote again for the final ruling. My story on Missouri's potential Hyperloop bid was featured on PolitiFact's national site.
