Dana Cronin \u201917, has spent a large portion of her CC career interning with 91.5 KRCC , Colorado College\u2019s NPR-member station. From pitching stories to interviewing sources, Cronin\u2019s internship has introduced her to all aspects of radio, giving her the opportunity to write, record, and produce her stories.<\/p>\n

\u201cThroughout my two and a half years at 91.5 KRCC, I\u2019ve learned so much about how to be a good journalist,\u201d Cronin says of her internship, \u201cI\u2019ve learned how to write meaningful and thorough stories about a huge variety of topics. I\u2019ve also developed my radio voice, which is a lot harder than it sounds!\u201d She also says she\u2019s learned a lot about the community and broader listening area through \u201cinterviewing people, attending local meetings, and reaching out to the general community 91.5 KRCC serves,\u201d in order to create relevant pieces.<\/p>\n

One of her latest stories even took her to the top of some of Colorado\u2019s highest peaks, where she learned about the labor-intensive maintenance of the trails up the state\u2019s 14,000-foot mountains and the hardworking people who work at such high altitudes. Cronin says many people, herself included at first, \u201cdon\u2019t realize the amount of time, energy, and money that goes into maintaining Colorado\u2019s high peaks,\u201d making this an important story to tell.<\/p>\n

Besides the actual labor of hiking the mountain, Cronin says the hardest part about writing the story was editing down the information, interviews, and sound bites. \u201cI started with about five hours of interviews and recordings, and the story ended up being five minutes long,\u201d describes Cronin. Finding herself personally attached to many of the sources, this was no easy task.<\/p>\n

91.5 KRCC “Morning Edition” host and managing editor,\u00a0and Cronin\u2019s supervisor, Andrea Chalfin, describes the hard work Cronin\u2019s put in. \u201cI\u2019ve worked with Dana\u00a0in the 91.5 KRCC newsroom for the majority of her college career, and I\u2019m really proud of the work she\u2019s done for us.\u00a0Aside from literally climbing a couple of mountains for this piece, she was able to pull the story together fairly easily.\u00a0It\u2019s a testament to her work ethic and experience at Colorado College and in the newsroom.”<\/p>\n

Cronin hopes to continue in radio and will be applying for radio internships for next year. Read or listen to Cronin\u2019s fourteener piece<\/a> or take a look at some of her other work on the 91.5 KRCC website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
