The Homicide

So, the homicide on campus. It's...freaky, to say the least.

Cross-posted to my DeviantArt account:

There was a murder on my campus, and I feel really sad about it, too. The guy who died sounded like he could have been a friend. I don't even know him, but, for really the first time, I care about someone who I never knew and died. And from the sounds of it, it was a case of going in his room at the wrong time. The police were already on their way...

Anyway, that's too depressing to really think about right now. Plus, I had to spend 5 hours in the newsroom researching how media portrays school shootings. I later made a general story out of all the other stories written by the news team.

Just for the blog:

Well, found out we won the Pacemaker Award, meaning that we were awesome in our coverage of the incident. We beat out the likes of Harvard and Princeton. As in, we had the best college newspaper thing in. the. nation.

Also, the general story I did turned into about 1/3 of the front page story. That's awesome.
