Newsday
As a freelance writer and photographer for Newsday, which has an average of five million monthly unique visitors, I covered local events across Long Island. For each story, I was responsible for finding a unique angle and compelling sources to interview, as well as taking DSLR photographs to accompany the web article or for a stand-alone gallery.
