Hello all,
We’ll be looking at your photo essays together today.
I also want to share an event for those of you who still haven’t done the breaking news story.
The Phagwah Parade will take place this year on Sunday, March 26 in Richmond Hill, Queens. It starts at 12 p.m. at 133rd Street and Liberty Avenue and continues to Phil Rizzuto Park.
Here’s the Facebook event which includes contact info for some of the organizers and info about some of the community groups that are involved in the parade:

If you cover this event, you’re going to need to protect your camera.
Your finished breaking news assignment should be submitted to me, via WeTransfer, by Monday night March 27 at midnight. We will spend class on Tuesday the 28th putting together a Medium post like we did last time so that we can pitch the story to D&S—hopefully more successfully this time!
If you still need to do your breaking news assignment but you cannot make it to the Phagwah parade, please email me so I can work on finding another event for you to cover.
