Enterprise Stories

Issue # 1: Abortion

I believe this would be a great topic. I would interview a coworker of mine, Holly Reimal. Who works with me and has had an abortion. It would be easy to set up an interview, and I also think it would be a great idea to make a trip down to the Planned Parenthood in Minneapolis. I could interview the protesters gathered outside.  I could also try to interview workers at the facility. I think this would be a very interesting topic! The emotions and feelings are strong on both sides of the debate. I think it would make the perfect story.

Issue # 2: Vikings stadium

Many people are against The Vikings building a new stadium. There are also many supporters who believe it would bring great business to the community. I agree the metro dome isn’t in the best shape, and I think this would be a very interesting topic. Both sides of the debate have their strong points. I would interview residents of the community on both sides of the debate. I think that would add a lot of flavor. I would also try to interview someone who is in charge of the development, someone from the Ramsey County board such as Anette Levi. This would definitely be an interesting topic.

Issue # 3: Aids in Minnesota

No one likes AIDS or HIV, but there are still issues surrounding the subject. There are many stereotypical people, in my neighborhood alone who feel disgusted by people who are infected with the disease. Many people believe that the disease can be spread through saliva, which is a myth. Others feel they can be infected just by being in contact with an infected person. There is a lot of hate. There are groups and organizations that spread the truth, and try to stop the hate and false knowledge. I would interview my neighbor Elizabeth, who works at a group home in Minneapolis for people infected with aids. I would also Interview one of my customers Joe Brink from my job as we’ve discussed the issue before. Then I would call the Minnesota Aids project hotline and get their point of view.
