Below is a link to a story I wrote. Again, I'm not pretending that this is hard-hitting journalism. My goal in covering events like this one is to try to tell people's stories and to ultimately tell the story of the event in a meaningful way. I have tried to do that here. Relay for Life is all about beating cancer. So my task was to tell the stories of the people fighting it. I've also learned that with community journalism, the more names you can get in the paper the better.

And here's a little video of some pictures from my visit to Glacier National Park. I'll put up a more thoughtful post sometime in the next few days, but in the meantime I am working on a piece about local bars serving underage kids, which I hope actually will be somewhat hard-hitting.
