Since Hurricane Sandy hit on Monday, I haven’t had power, but that hasn’t stopped me from going out and reporting on what’s going on around the area. I’ve been using social media as a main source to share my reporting, which has been used by the Long Island Report, an “award-winning multimedia news organization” run entirely by student journalists from Hofstra University. The following are articles that either use my reporting or feature me as a journalist:
