The news articles have been authored for Spartan Newsroom, which serves as a source for news and updates pertaining to Michigan State University and the surrounding community. The content is generated by students enrolled in Michigan State's School of Journalism courses or associated extracurricular clubs. In my reporting, I have primarily focused on the Okemos community, covering diverse topics such as an Okemos alumnus securing a coveted spot on MSU's football roster, the overwhelming response to Meridian Police Department's Citizens' Academy, the tireless efforts of healthcare professionals in Detroit to protect women's reproductive rights amidst a surge in anti-abortion legislation nationwide, and Meridian Cares' holiday initiatives aimed at aiding the underprivileged.
