Pitch 1:
What are Young Democrats and Young Republicans doing on campus to register voters? Who has registered more voters and what events will the two groups be doing during election season to help their party?
I will investigate what activities the two groups are partaking in and with what level of success they have been able to ignite a political spirit in the WSU community.
Sources to be interviewed:
President of Young Democrats, President of Young Republicans
This story would be good in the Evergreen or a student publication because the issue impacts students.
Pitch 2:
A follow up to the success/failure of the Palouse Ridge Golf Club and Banyan's Restaurant. Is the golf course and restaurant making a good financial return on the university's investment? How many people are playing a day? I could compare student to resident use. Are the water issues that initially surrounded the golf course still an issue? And if so what is the status on water use for the golf course?
I will be looking at whether the golf course has been a lucrative investment. I could also explore the community attitude towards the golf course at this time.
Possible Sources to be Interviewed:
Employee at Pullman Facilities Operation
General Manager of the course
Manager of Banyan's Restaurant
Enviromental Science Experts (water rights specialists)
Local Politician
This news story would be best in a campus news letter or in newspapers throughout the region because taxpayers will want to know whether this controversial investment is panning out.
Pitch 3:
A level three sex offender is currently residing in Pullman. I would explore what the Whitman Country Sheriff's Office is doing to prevent another offense from taking place. I could also examine what students can do to best protect themselves. It would also be interesting to get the opinion of on campus security and see if precautionary measures are being taken.
Possible Sources to be Interviewed:
Employee of Whitman County Sheriff's Office
Campus Security
Student Opinion
This story would be best in the Daily Evergreen and the Pullman Daily newspaper because it impacts students and residents.
