MTA coverage

March 22nd, 2010 · Comments Off · Education, Journalism, Manhattan, Photos

One of my courses this is semester is Covering Education. The focus of the class is providing coverage on the New York City public school system. I’ve been following the plight of the MTA’s budget crisis, which will directly impact almost half of New York City’s 1.1 million public school children who rely on the [...]

Full moon

Full moon tonight (technically, it was last night.) Could have fooled me.

Snow day

February 27th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Manhattan, Photos

We’ve been getting lots of snow in NYC lately. It started dumping halfway through Thursday and just never stopped. I rolled out of bed at 7:30 this morning. Much to my surprise, Columbia was closed. So I rolled over, turned off the alarm and fell back asleep. Later, I ventured over to Central Park to [...]

Emergency surgery

I got a call just before midnight last night. It was CJ, with whom I have been spending lots of time for my master’s project on pit bulls in New York City. His oldest (and dearest) of his two dogs, Snow, had been peeing a lot and he had just passed it off as a [...]

Blizzard hits 109th street

February 10th, 2010 · Comments Off · Humor, Manhattan, Photos, Upper West Side

It’s snowing here in New York City. Schools are out all over the city. Even I had my classes cancelled. As a Michigander who spent four years in Burlington, Vt., I can’t say I’m overly impressed by this “blizzard.” But when a city the size of this one gets hit by a decent amount of [...]

Busy Saturday

February 7th, 2010 · Comments Off · Brooklyn, Journalism, Manhattan, Photos

I had a good Saturday. Very busy. Slept in. Went for a run. Met up with Fred. Biked to Central Park. They had a rail jam going on. Fred indulged in some swag. This woman was grooving to the tunes supplied by the Red Bull mobile sound system. She had moves. Next, we cruised to [...]

Coney Island to Times Square in 60 seconds

February 2nd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Brooklyn, Humor, Journalism, Manhattan, Multimedia

My assignment was to travel from Coney Island to Times Square, document it and produce a 60-second clip of the journey. I hadn’t been to Coney Island, so I was excited for the opportunity to see that part of the city. It’s a place that is both eerie and wholly intriguing. Now that it’s winter [...]

Pit bulls in the park

January 16th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Journalism, Manhattan, Photos

This is Snow and Layla. Snow, the white one, is a nine-year-old pit bull. Layla, her daughter, is five. I’ve been hanging out with Layla and Snow a lot this week for my master’s project which is a piece on pit bulls in New York City and how they are such a polarizing dog, loved [...]

Vigil for Haiti

January 14th, 2010 · Comments Off · Journalism, Manhattan, Photos

I rode my bike down to the Haitian embassy at Madison Avenue and 39th Street tonight to catch a prayer vigil held by Reverend Al Sharpton for the victims and survivors of the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that rocked Haiti late Tuesday afternoon. In attendance were Sharpton, Reverend Jesse Jackson, New York Governor David Paterson, US [...]

Bedbugs mean big business

December 17th, 2009 · Comments Off · Journalism, Manhattan, Multimedia, Photos, Queens

Things are quickly wrapping up here at J-school. It’s pretty incredible to think that I’m already halfway done. One of the bigger projects I produced this semester was for my Digital Media Newsroom course. My partner Alex and I produced a story package that involved text, video and audio slideshow components about the pest control [...]
