Today was the first day that I, "felt like an intern." I had to go through a list of county and city positions in District 17, Congressman Flores's district, and make sure it was current. It was a tedious, full day of research. I felt like I was doing one of Dr. Walraven's "Special Searches." I had to look through every county and city in the district to see who the sheriff, chief of police, and assistant chief of police was. What seemed like a small task took me about four hours. While I did use Google, I did double check my sources to make sure they were credible.
I can definitely identify with the research aspect of journalism. However, I do love research.
