Sammy and Alex’s article, “Being poor on rich U-M campus still a struggle as school broadens reach<\/a>,” was published in August 2019 by Bridge Michigan<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sammy reports: “I took the course because I had a fair amount of student reporting experience but little exposure to the professional side of the reporting work. I wanted to work with a professional journalist to craft a piece of reporting within the constraints of professional reporting. I learned so much from Ron French during the semester that I took the course, particularly regarding all the planning that goes into the pre-writing and pre-reporting process. I now do a fair amount of work as a freelance investigative reporter\u2014this is almost entirely thanks to Ron and everything he taught me about how the professional world works.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
