Bio
Jeff South
I have worked closely with Katrina and can attest to her skills as a multimedia journalist. She is not only a solid writer and reporter but also a photojournalist and videographer – and she has experience flying drones to capture aerial pictures. During Spring 2018, Katrina was a reporter in VCU’s Capital News Service program, in which students produce content for more than 90 news outlets across Virginia, with select stories distributed by the Associated Press. Under intense deadline pressure, Katrina generated several breaking-news stories, including about animal welfare (published by WTVR.com), gun safety (published by the Eastern Shore News) and child abuse (published by U.S. News & World Report). She also demonstrated an eye for news that other statehouse reporters might overlook, such as an exposé on fake service dogs (published by The Washington Post).
