I will interview my friend Jessica Loraine. She is a Psychologist and I would like to learn more about what have been her personal and professional challenges during the pandemic? And how are her clients feeling being advised over zoom and sometimes only by phone calls?

  1. I was thinking to create a story about Millennials Using Tiktok due to boredom because of Covid-19. It seems millennials started using tiktok as a joke however it has become a new social media platform for us. I want to ask questions like why millennials like tiktok, how do you like tiktok compared to other social media platforms, and etc. (I would use popular sounds from the app)
  2. Or, I was thinking to interview my friend who owns several orthodontic practices and ask how business is doing during the pandemic and etc. (sounds could be drills for teeth)

 

Radio Pitch

I was thinking it could be interesting to interview my brother (a professional soccer player) and get his take upon the affect of the pandemic upon his team, with regards to training sessions, club stability, game schedule, etc.

The COVID-19 pandemic forced most New York city residents to stay home but essential workers. Several weeks after the shutdown companies like Wholefoods and Trader Joes announced they would give their workers a 2-dollar wage increase as a result of the situation. Unlike the large chain companies most small businesses workers don’t have the same privileges. Several workers especially immigrants can lack health care, decent wages and even protective equipment.

I will be reporting on someone who is currently working at a small business, showcasing their experience at their job.

Radio Pitch

With this pandemic going on in the world, the sick and elderly are especially susceptible to the aftermaths of COVID. While I’m grateful that my grandma is healthy and safe at home, I’m aware not every elderly person has a home/family to go to. For this upcoming radio assignment, I would like to interview a friend of mine who works at a nursing home. I want to focus on what measures are nursing homes taking to keep everyone safe, adjustments that the workers are making etc.

Radio Pitch

Quarantine for many of us was a time to learn a new skill, catch up on work and those other things we did not feel we had enough time to do, exercise, get more sleep, etc. But for some, they faced new challenges being alone and indoors, unable to see friends or family. For this assignment, I would like to  speak on the topic of mental health and interview a friend of mine who has suffered from episodes of depression all of her life. I want to know how she copes with her depressive states and how corona virus, the BLM movement, and not working has affected it. I also want to know how she takes care of her mental and physical health, especially on those days where she is feeling down and has no motivation to do anything. I’d ask her what tips she’d like to share with those going through similar situations, as well as the type of help she has received, if any. I also would like to ask about how working out has helped her become more happy, as well as how she plans to move forward and continue to take care of herself so that she doesn’t fall back into her depression.

is after seeing a really great friend of mine prepare for grad school during the pandemic. Having to study GRE through online classes. The struggles of learning the content and not having the teacher during prep present and working with you in person
