Cassie’s got her MoJo working
Reporter Cassie Hewlings is a hardworking, creative and reliable reporter. She has a regular seat in the audience of school board meetings. She also writes the very popular Student of the Week profiles that publish every Monday on the Homework Page. Her work life is busy — and predictable.
This week, however, Cassie is at-large, reporting as a mobile journalist for GJSentinel.com. We didn’t see her in the office all day, and we might not see her all week.
So what does she do? Well, check it out. Monday was MoJo Day One. Cassie’s only direction was to stay out of the office — to look for those stories that we’re not otherwise telling. She filed photos and stories about the new steeple being built at St. Joseph Catholic Church, the mural on the climbing wall at Broadway Elementary, two guys flying model airplanes at Canyon view Park, and the “Get on Your Soapbox” rant-a-thon at Mesa State College.
If you remember Al Franken as the one-man mobile uplink reporter on “Saturday Night Live,” you get the general idea. Only Cassie doesn’t have to wear a satellite dish on her head.
Watch Cassie’s work all week at Mobile Junction.
