I did everything from being the editor of the paper to writing, identifying strong news stories, following and investigating them to sending it to print in the weekly paper. One of the key stories I am recognised for is our sexual harassment stories at Wits University where four lecturers were dismissed because of sexually harassing students. This was exposed and investigated because of my coverage in the paper. I also was asked to write a piece for a U.S investigative journalism magazine on how I conducted my research.
