Multimedia Reporting Fall 2019

Jacqueline Cabrera: Final project proposal

A focus on the rise and circumstances around the MTA Fare and how this affects college students. In recent events, there has been a rise in fare evasion enforcement, but as well as violent tactics being used by NYPD Officers. My video would focus on how college students not having metro fare covered can be a hardship that can stop them from coming to school. I plan to focus on the stories of baruch students in particular and explain why CUNY students should get metrocards paid for, and show how this can affect the future. I plan to Interview a police officer, Interview local gov official, Baruch students, and Interview Baruch administration for comments. But this is mostly on a psa type style to show how a change needs to be made.
