Why Health Reporting Matters on Campus
ATLANTA- Health reporting matters because it influences decisions that affect students directly. Whether it is counseling availability, dining options, or sexual health resources, coverage of these topics can spark conversations and even lead to change.
On campus, students often face barriers to care, including cost, stigma, and limited access. By reporting on these issues, journalists can amplify student voices and hold institutions accountable. Health stories are not just about problems; they are about solutions, awareness, and advocacy.
I am especially interested in covering stories about mental health, since counseling wait times and stress management are ongoing challenges for students. I also want to explore women’s health, including reproductive care, access to preventive services, and how campus resources meet the needs of female students. Finally, I plan to report on young adult health more broadly, from nutrition and sleep habits to the long-term impact of lifestyle choices made during college.
By focusing on these areas, my health beat will highlight issues that matter most to students and provide reporting that is both informative and relatable.
