I had to do a crime map for my Spring 2011 reporting class. Noe Valley is one of the safest neighborhoods in San Francisco. My professor, Yvonne Daley said that's why she moved into this neighborhood in the first place.
Anyways here's my crime map, thanks to Google.com. The various pin points are assult/battery, arrests and vandalism. Enjoy(:

The Chauncey Bailey Trial on Mon. 4/19
OAKLAND- -After a plan to cross examine three suspects at the San Leandro Prison failed, the Oakland police created a plan to “conveniently” have a flat tire on their way back to Alameda Prison. The three men they detained were then placed in a room where they were secretly videotaped discussing their involvement in the Chauncey Bailey murder.
This was the juiciest thing that I got out of the Monday trial. I hate that it started 45minutes late but hey I can't complain, I signed up for this.
Anyways like I said in class I kind of freaked out when Joshua Bey looked at me. I know I shouldn't have been scared but seeing him on the video tape, then in person in his stripped jumpsuit and him looking toward me was weird. I just kept thinking, "I know you're a bad person and you're in jail for kidnapping and torture." SKETCH.
I had fun learning about the case and writing my story. I can't wait to turn it in and see what I got! Fingers crossed I didn't just jinx myself...whoops.

What are you afraid of?
On April 12th I talked to students at San Francisco State University about what they are afraid of.
I found it interesting that those I interviewed had the same fears that I have. Hearing each person discuss their fears in detail made me think about my own. I loved hearing everyone’s response and hopefully this will make you wonder what are you afraid of?
This is also posted on my class Wordpress account.

#Wjchat
Wjchat...is that a type-o?
No its not. It's the latest new tool for journalists. It's a discussion board on Twitter that lets journalists and social media enthusiasts discuss what they love.
I did some extra credit for my Digital News Gathering class yesterday (Wednesday, April 13) where I had to participate in the discussion.
I participated and loved what I saw! It was amazing seeing journalists from all over the country talk about journalism and where it's going today. It made me really excited to see what @verbalcupcake was saying about social media and many others.
Although I was new to this new discussion I decided to comment on what I thought engagement was or how one measures success. Although no one retweeted my response I had a lot of fun watching and participating.
Go out and join, every Wednesday from 5pm-7pm.

Ten Things I Love
Ten things you like, GO!
The things that I love surround pop culture. I am a pop culture junky and I don't know if my massive TV watching will benefit my journalism career. Fingers crossed I can write about pop culture in some way, if not then blogging about it will have to do. (:

Boredom at its Finest
My weekly assignment for my Digital News Gathering class was to take pictures of some sort of emotion. I picked boredom. According to Wikipedia.com, boredom is an emotional state experienced during periods lacking activity or when individuals are uninterested in their surroundings. I have captured a few pictures of boredom at its finest.

The Sun is out and School Isn't
Hey Summer, can you get here a little bit faster? There's about 43 days left of school and with the sun constantly out, the beach is calling my name!! Let's fast forward to the homestretch of this semester.
My profile piece is on a shop called Green 11 in Noe Valley. I wanted to do something that was interesting and that I think people would take notice to. I've been to Noe Valley more times than I can count, both by MUNI and my car. I've gotten a lot of interviews and luckily the co-owner and I have had a good relationship.
I feel like Green 11 is a great store. I am all for environmental awareness and for everyone to do their part by recycling, not driving their car so much and so on and so forth. My problem is that I hope the article doesn't come off as P.R. I hope that the fine line between informing the public and promoting the store isn't being crossed.
