I had several meetings today about our class. First I met with the mayor of Warsaw, and we agreed it might be good idea to have our entire class attend the Warsaw Town Council meeting on Monday night, February 2. That particular night should be especially interesting as they are talking about creating a merged fire district between Wayne Township and Warsaw—there will probably be a very good attendance.
The council meeting is at 7 p.m., and so we’ll need to talk this Monday night about transportation.
Then I met with Gary Gerard, managing editor of the Warsaw Times-Union. He indicated that the best way to arrange to shadow a reporter for a day is just to contact him by e-mail at ggerard@timesuniononline.com and identify yourself and he will arrange it.
Further, if any of you are interested in writing a story for him (personality feature, investigative, or trend) he is open to that, and he may have suggested topics or would love to hear your ideas from around the community as well.
Contact him at any time about spend-a-day and about story assignments. I’ll try to get an agenda for the Warsaw Council meeting. In the meantime, please get to know the council members and structure and history by browsing past meeting minutes at www.warsawcity.net.
