I'm a master of science in journalism candidate at the Medill School at Northwestern University, studying public affairs reporting with a side of new media.
In May, I graduated from the University of Michigan with a bachelor's degree in political science and anthropology. I wrote for The Michigan Daily for three years, including several semesters as a columnist and associate editor and one summer as editor in chief. I also worked on senior political analyst Jack Lessenberry's show at Michigan Radio in 2008.
The first quarter of Medill's graduate program is devoted to learning the basics of reporting, a process that includes about five weeks of beat reporting. My beat is government, activism, politics, community safety, economic development and housing in Skokie, a suburb located northwest of Chicago.
This is week three of beat reporting.
About Me
- Emmarie
- Washington, D.C., United States
- I'm a journalist. When the National Christmas Tree toppled over in 2011, I covered it. When a crane fell at the National Cathedral later that year, I covered it. On the side, I've also written about Congress, campaign finance, satellites, and national security. "The Skokie Beat" features my reporting from Skokie, Ill., in late 2009 as a graduate student at Northwestern University.
