A few days ago I found out that I am interning at the Miami Herald. Needless to say that since I am a journalism dork I was nothing but excited when I found out that I got the internship. I am going to be spending one year at the Herald and as an intern I feel as if I should share my life as I hold that title.
So far I am waiting on the internship to start while I continue to freelance for the paper. I am currently working on a story about a record release party for this CD the city of Miami has put out with the help of students from around the county about violence.
It is a great story! The county wanted to prevent the young people from acting violently towards one another. So instead of only doing the traditional AD camp gain against it all they hooked up with this one organization ADMIT. That organization allows students to right music about non-violence and gives them a place to record. They went to schools around the country to produce this album and now have a CD they are giving away to students around the county.
I adore this story because it shows the power and impact that music has on people. Telling people not to hurt one another is one thing, but it is like school. You may not remember but a conjunction is by listening to a lecture but School House Rock, somehow, put it in song form and drove the lesson home.
Now back to writing the thing!
