Welcome to my project for the UConn course, Introduction to Online Journalism. I’m Bailey Wright, a senior at UConn and a psychology and journalism double major. I work for our independent, student-run school newspaper The Daily Campus as managing editor.
I started my education in journalism through an initially casual interest in photojournalism that has evolved into writing, designing, and completing multimedia projects. I hope to contribute to the field of journalism in one way or another after graduation.
I wanted to make this blog to explore the effect climate change has had on my local community. Climate change is important to me as an avid Earth-user and someone that cares about the future of our world. My page looks at the current drought levels in Connecticut, some context and history to the almost unnoticed status.
I hope you find my page to be informative and helpful. Feel free to comment and ask questions.
