Covers:
I love to cover human-related stories because they are always expressive to tell especially when the concerned are victims of circumstances in the story researched or being worked upon.
Doesn't Cover:
I don't like to report accident scenes because merely seeing the victims wear me out especially when they are severely injured and needed to be rushed to the hospital.
