Next Generation Radio, 2015: Sacramento

Next Generation Radio partnered with Capital Public Radio, an NPR station licensed to the California State University, Sacramento (Sacramento State for short). We worked from a sunlight-filled conference room overlooking a sprawling vegetable garden, occasionally wandering around the plant beds, snapping Instagram photos and plucking Sun Gold cherry tomatoes for snacks. 

Before my mentee, Virginia McCormick, graduated from Sac State, she produced these stories about an on-campus community college shooting and a mysterious historical scavenger hunt. Virginia is the former assistant director for Millennials in Media, a mentorship group for young journalists in the Sacramento area.
