Reflecting on the experience, James writes,
My experience at the workshop was great. I learned the proper way to structure an investigative article by starting with an anecdotal lead. This means you give an example of an individual story of someone. I also learned that when writing an article, your most important information must go in chronological order. I learned how to see public records and what laws protect journalists. Also proper writing rules, for example not using bias or writing lible statements that are not true. Overall I had an awesome experience exploring the city of Boston and having new friends that I can remember was the best part.
