Pulitzer Opens Up With WCC Students

Two Pulitzer Journalists shared with us their story of how they started their Journalism Career. Steve Sapienza and Micah Fink both started off like any other aspiring student trying to go big out in the world of journalism, taking classes such Photography their ideas expanded even more as they expanded their knowledge. They both eventually traveled to different parts of the world including, Dominican Republic and Jamaica where they worked on crisis reporting. One of the highlights of their presentation is when they shared with us the video that was created when Micah traveled to Jamaica and documented stories of people dealing with homosexuality insecurities due to the overwhelming fact that homosexuality is not prohibited in Kingston, Jamaica. "The Abominable Crime" The students at WCC who had the chance to watch their presentation felt an immediate emotional reaction, many students couldn't believe what they were watching and hearing, we got a chance to interview some students to get a a better understanding of what they felt. As the presentation ended, many of us felt the need to do something to help or even become experts like Micah and Steve, which we get the opportunity to to do so simply by applying to the Pulitzer website. Pulitzer
