It\u2019s been almost three months since the last time I did an update on the Washington State University fellowship I accepted. And so far it\u2019s been an honor to be able to work in such a diverse city and two notable newsrooms.
\nThree months ago I started a position as a rural affairs reporter through a joint partnership between The Spokesman-Review and Spokane Public Radio. Washington State University created 16 fellowship positions in different newsrooms across the state to increase coverage in underserved communities.
\nNever having had experience in radio before, it has been fun and exciting to learn a new form of informing the public of events and issues happening in our community. And through this, I have been able to provide news coverage on electric vehicle increases in northeastern Washington\u2019s rural communities, Latino and other cultural events, water infrastructure updates in a rural community outside of Spokane, and more for both newsrooms.
\nAlthough some days are long (more so when you are navigating moving to a new city), each week is full of exciting and long days of researching and writing and I am eager to see how the rest of this fellowship plays out.<\/p>\n

NUESTRA VOZ CUENTA<\/strong>
\nHan pasado casi tres meses desde la \u00faltima vez que hice una actualizaci\u00f3n sobre la beca de la Universidad Estatal de Washington que acept\u00e9. Y hasta ahora, ha sido un honor poder trabajar en una ciudad tan diversa y en dos redacciones destacadas.
\nHace tres meses, comenc\u00e9 a trabajar como reportero de asuntos rurales a trav\u00e9s de una asociaci\u00f3n conjunta entre The Spokesman-Review y Spokane Public Radio. La Universidad Estatal de Washington cre\u00f3 16 puestos de becas en diferentes redacciones de todo el estado para aumentar la cobertura en comunidades desatendidas.
\nComo nunca antes hab\u00eda tenido experiencia en la radio, ha sido divertido y emocionante aprender una nueva forma de informar al p\u00fablico sobre eventos y problemas que suceden en nuestra comunidad. Y a trav\u00e9s de esto, hemos podido brindar cobertura de noticias sobre aumentos de veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos en las comunidades rurales del noreste de Washington, eventos culturales latinos y de otro tipo, actualizaciones de la infraestructura de agua en una comunidad rural en las afueras de Spokane y m\u00e1s para ambas salas de redacci\u00f3n.
\nAunque algunos d\u00edas son largos (m\u00e1s a\u00fan cuando te mudas a una nueva ciudad), cada semana est\u00e1 llena de d\u00edas largos y emocionantes de investigaci\u00f3n y escritura, y estoy ansioso por ver c\u00f3mo se desarrolla el resto de esta posici\u00f3n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
