Panel Discussion
One thing I liked about Monday's panel is how the beauracrats really wanted a story told from the perspective of the immigrants. Although our panel consisted of official people from various places within the Syracuse community, they were all adament about the need to make the story have a human perspective. Prior to the discussion, Prof. Davis told us that although the people on the panel are excellent sources, we should certainly consider talking to people in the community. The people who spoke to our class on Monday echoed Prof. Davis's statement. Also, that all of the information the group provided us with (documentaries we could watch, places we could go to talk to people, etc.) is more than enough to get our class started.

Well, said, Gitana. This is an important reminder. Remember: What story do I want to tell? How am I going to tell it? The "how" will involve the right "characters" for your story. These are the "real people." Let's go find them. This story is an incredible opportunity for you as journalists, and as people. This is not just an "issue." It's a defining moment of our time. See what you can learn, and what you can "teach" others through this project. That's the ticket. Prof. D.
