| Cache Valley Daily Verified
LOGAN — Utah State University is redefining how civics and the general education curriculum will be taught, thanks to some help from the legislature and a new law that went into effect May 7. Depending on who you ask, the new law overhauling the general education curriculum at Utah State University is an “attack on higher education” or “the most important bill” of the entire legislative session.

What was your first job as a journalist?

Reporter. My first story as a professional journalist was about a chicken ordinance in the city. It was no cat fashion show, but hey.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes. At home, never at work. My parents had a few growing up. I just played around on them. Never seriously used one.

How is social media changing news?

It is ALWAYS breaking now. You have to be on social media. If you aren't you are reading yesterday's news.

2011 - Minority Issues Reporting

Whistle-blowers working for the state leaked hundreds of names of illegal immigrants living in Utah to the media. It created a huge controversy and safety concern for those people and their families. I went and talked with one of the immigrants in Spanish to get her story, since she did not speak any English. Raquel is an illegal immigrant, and she wonders how her name, along with other personal information, ended up on a list of more than 1,300 alleged illegal immigrants in Utah. Raquel thinks legislation that would make it easier for state workers to bring names of illegal immigrants forward to law enforcement without being punished would be "no bueno," which translates in English to "no good."
