“From my perspective as a newspaper reporter, you learn a lot about the community you cover when you work for a daily newspaper like the Beloit Daily News and Janesville Gazette (the two papers I write for). I personally have made a lot of relationships with my sources and you learn more about the community as a whole and what they want to read more about. I’ve learned to turn around stories as fast as possible for a daily newspaper and to talk with my colleagues and editors a lot when I have a question. The skills I learned have been very beneficial to my career.” – Journalist Sara Myers
