As someone wanting to pursue political journalism, today was an important day for me. Today, my team got to interview Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn. It was the first time I got to interview someone who holds political office.
During the interview, I picked up on the skill to change the questions I asked to fit the direction of the interview. I could tell that Legislator Hahn cared a lot about the issues she spoke about, specifically the opioid crisis. It was an experience that will surely stand as a highlight of this program for me.
