Interview a student outside your major for their perspective on your beat. Blog about it.
I interviewed Sophomore student Corionna Sindad a Psychology major. She had an interesting perspective on the beat talking about how public safety should get more recognition because a lot of the time they are the first responders to some of these dangerous events that happen or could happen on campus before the police get there and a lot of people still talk bad about them. She had a lot to say about public safety and what she sees on campus. This perspective gave me a lot of different story ideas for my beat.
I overheard a conversation from a group of girls who were leaving the parking garage of Clark Atlanta University. They were talking about how they always see security guards in the student center hanging around, as well as two or three of them right in front of the gate. They continued to talk about how atrocious they think it is that people were able to walk right into the garage and break into a bunch of peoples cars not too long ago. Not just one or two but a group of cars. One of the girls felt like since there is no one permanent at the garage no one ever feels like it is properly secured. Most people who are doing illegal things wear the proper protection to not be noticed by the cameras. She said “The cameras aren't stopping anybody.” I thought that was a pretty interesting story related to your beat on public safety at CAU.
