Part of my responsibilities at CBSSacramento.com were to assist reporters with formatting their stories for the website. One of our investigative reporters required ongoing help editing, formatting, and displaying her content on the website.
One project she and I collaborated on was a series of stories about billion-dollar California state COVID lab that turned out to be a big waste of money.
My Role: I used my editing and organizing skills to help make the reporters stories easy to read and organized, highlighting her best work. I was responsible also for providing story images and headline help. In this case, she and I were the sole stakeholders on this project.
My Impact: This series of stories garnered industry awards for investigative reporting. The judging was based on how the stories appeared on the website, which I contributed to.
