Soon, I'll post a link to my story on a day in the life of UNC basketball coach Tad Boyle. This was the first time I had written this type of story, so I'll share some of my experiences going through that process.
After spending the whole day with Boyle, it was somewhat difficult to choose the events of the day that were most significant and worth putting in the story. What did make it in was very interesting and I don't think anything too important was left out.
The easiest and most enjoyable part of the experience was the reporting itself. Spending a day with the basketball coach and reporting on it is exactly the type of thing I got into journalism to do.
That said, I did learn a lot about reporting over several hours and constructing a more complex story. A day in the life story isn’t all that easy to put together.
It was definitely a worthwhile experience and I’m glad I was able to do it, hopefully the resulting story is as interesting as the process of putting it together was.
