If you cover the education beat, you may not write the most exciting stories in the newspaper. But you will write stories that many people will read.
Who reads stories about education? Some of your readers will be:
-
Parents who have children in school.
-
Grandparents who have grandchildren in school.
-
Young adults who just got out of school.
-
Students who still attend school.
-
Property owners who pay taxes to support the schools.
-
Business people interested in hiring graduates the schools produce.
