How can students be good reporters? “Start as soon as you can... it’s all about starting to develop now instead of when you’re graduating.” - Jake Stevens, @TheCrimsonWhite

[UA SPJ @SPJUA]

“Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do a story because you’re a student.” - Rebecca Rakowitz, @alicethemag

[UA SPJ @SPJUA]

How can students be good reporters? “Start as soon as you can... it’s all about starting to develop now instead of when you’re graduating.” - Jake Stevens, @TheCrimsonWhite

[UA SPJ @SPJUA]

“There’s ideas everywhere that you may not necessarily see unless you pay attention.” - Kate Silvey, @UAMosaic

[UA SPJ @SPJUA]

How can students be good sources? “If you see something, say something. We can’t be everywhere at any given time and we can’t run a story unless we know about it.” - Steve Diorio, @wvua23

[UA SPJ @SPJUA]

In terms of producing more than hard news focused on the university and Tuscaloosa: “We try to spread the coverage around as much as we can locally” - Steve Diorio (@sdioriojr), @wvua23

[UA SPJ @SPJUA]

“I think @alicethemag is trying to build on a culture that’s growing... I think we have a lot of really powerful women on this campus and we’re trying to report that.” - Rebecca Rakowitz

[UA SPJ @SPJUA]

On @tuscaloosanews reporters who are former UA students: “It’s interesting to watch them report on the culture... what’s changed, what hasn’t over the years.” - @edenoch

[UA SPJ @SPJUA]

“#MeToo is always important to us, as well as diversity in media and how women are portrayed. We don’t do touch ups on our models. That’s really important to us.” - Rebecca Rakowitz, @alicethemag

[UA SPJ @SPJUA]

Most important issue facing the university right now ? “I have a hard time picking just one... if it happens on campus I’m interested in it” - Jake Stevens, @TheCrimsonWhite adding that diversity is very important to the paper.
