For this class, I would be very interested in doing reports on Mexican communities in New York City, as well as possibly certain reports on issues in Mexico. I am half Mexican, and I did see several relatives pass away this year due to Covid-19. I know that I can get many relevant stories about how the Coronavirus pandemic affected Mexican families in New York City. And, I also can get stories from within the country of Mexico, pertaining to how Covid-19 affected people there. I would be able to conduct video interviews through Skype and/or Zoom. Like I mentioned in the initial Zoom meeting, I do have experience with photography and videography, so it is a possibility for me to record and use certain media. Or, I would write very relevant and hard hitting reports of what I have researched. The issues I could reveal would be issues with Coronavirus in the Mexican/Hispanic communities of NYC, problems with kids going back to school, essential workers having to report to work everyday, and the loss of so many family members due to this unprecedented pandemic that turned all of our worlds into living nightmares. Additionally, I know people in my family who lost their jobs due to the pandemic, and they are now struggling to find new jobs, or they are taking hiatuses from working, all because of their fear of potentially catching the Covid-19 strain of Coronavirus. This pandemic brought on by Coronavirus has destructed so many people’s lives and daily ways of living. I firmly believe I can make great and timely journalistic reports based on this community.
