For a story like this, I made sure to talk to our campus president about what it meant for the campus&#8230; I also made sure to get some information as to how this happened. For that information, I spoke to Juan Mendieta, the spokesperson for the college. It was also important to know what past references Obama had made about community college, and the importance he gave community colleges. I made sure to reference that in my story as well. Other than the facts, a very important element to any story\u2026is emotion and reaction. I made sure to include that as well. My goal for this story was to give you everything you needed to know about the president&#8217;s visit but also to capture the emotion from people who agreed with him politically and those who didn&#8217;t. &#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10269\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10269\" style=\"width: 153px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/author\/melissa-adan\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10269\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Melissa-Adan-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"Headshot of Melissa Adan.\" width=\"153\" height=\"215\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10269\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">ADAN<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Headline:<\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/head-coach-dismissed-no-direct-reason-given\/\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> Head Coach Dismissed; No Direct Reason Given<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> Nov. 8, 2011<\/p>\n<p><strong>Volume, Issue:<\/strong> Vol. 2, Issue 6<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author:<\/strong> Melissa Adan<\/p>\n<p><strong>Position at The Reporter, Years:<\/strong>\u00a0Kendall Campus Bureau Chief and Briefing Editor, 2010-2012<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current job:<\/strong> Reporter at NBC 6.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-10270 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/The-Reporter-Issue-6-Vol-300x293.png\" alt=\"Report by Melissa Adan.\" width=\"300\" height=\"293\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/The-Reporter-Issue-6-Vol-300x293.png 300w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/The-Reporter-Issue-6-Vol-32x32.png 32w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/The-Reporter-Issue-6-Vol-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/The-Reporter-Issue-6-Vol-64x64.png 64w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/The-Reporter-Issue-6-Vol-60x60.png 60w, https:\/\/mdcthereporter.com\/staging\/8357\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/The-Reporter-Issue-6-Vol.png 368w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><strong>Story description:<\/strong> One year after helping lead the Lady Sharks to a National Championship, Head Softball Coach Carlos Caro was dismissed without explanation on Oct. 25, 2011.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quote:<\/strong> \u201cSomeone in the school tipped us off\u2026When I went to go check it out the players were heartbroken because [the coach] was kicked out&#8230;They really liked this guy.
