After finishing up her semester abroad in Nairobi, Kenya, College of Arts and Sciences senior Brooke Wong was excited to return to the U.S. and spend the holidays with her family. Wong and the rest of the students in the AU Nairobi program were on their way to the airport, ready to depart when they learned their stay in Kenya would be extended a little longer.
Although The Eagle’s staff is gathering virtually for now, there is always a certain buzz that accompanies the first news pitch meeting of every semester. New staffers are excited to learn the ins and outs of The Eagle, and returning staffers are eager to get back to work and tackle new stories and projects. In this edition of On the Record, I’d like to give readers a better understanding of how the news section operates and what we hope to accomplish this semester.

Every semester, The Eagle hires two Student Government beat reporters. For several current staffers, myself included, it is one of the first jobs they had at The Eagle. In this role, the reporters attend Undergraduate Senate meetings, stay up to date on initiatives and happenings within SG and, most importantly, hold student government accountable. One of the things that make this job so important is that it is where many of us have learned the fundamentals of reporting. SG reporters learn how to find and maintain sources, follow up on stories and be persistent.
