Local Non-Profits Fight Budget Battle



My '8 on your money' special aired on Wednesday November 11th at the 10 pm show. My story took an in-depth look about how local non-profits in Columbia are affected by the economic recession. After about a month of interviews, research, shooting, writing and editing my story finally came together! In the end, I was very pleased that I was able to humanize the financial problems of local non-profits by not only looking at the decrease of funding, but also highlighting the increase of volunteers. Even though donations are down, people are giving their time to help local organizations. The story turned out to have a positive side, despite all of the financial challenges presented to the non-profits. Here is my video story from the live broadcast as well as a link to my in-depth web story, which includes more information, links and pictures from my video.
