Wel­come to my project for the UConn course, News Writ­ing II. 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 a 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.

This page is an in-depth project for the course, look­ing into the effect the changes of PILOT fund­ing have on a town such as Mans­field that is very reliant on the fund. I hope you find my page to be infor­ma­tive and help­ful. Feel free to com­ment and ask questions.
