Working at a weekly newspaper gives me the chance to do a range of journalistic jobs. In the past month or so I've covered (in no particular order)
• several structure fires
• post-season (albeit high school) basketball games
• Remember the Bulldogs
• power company crews installing power poles with a helicopter on a rugged, wintry mountain
• an accident (no injuries) on a mountain road where a prefab building came off a truck. Ran a photo of driver's ed passing the scene. Title: Driver's Ed crash course
• the state of Va. closing down our local landfill. This is only the second time the state has closed down a landfill (by revoking the permit). I went as the staff photographer and got some pics I'm pleased with. Our daily sister paper ran three of them today. Covering this event was so draining b/c there were a lot of potential outcomes.
