Welcome to the first post about our class’ coverage of the 2014 municipal election in London.

My name is Janice Dickson and my partner is Alley Wilson. We are documenting the progress of our classmates and the way they cover local candidates.

So what can you expect? Posts about interviews, photos, videos and what makes politicians tick.

Our class is divided into teams of two and each team is assigned a candidate. So far we have heard about  the challenge of securing interviews and we will tell you more next week.
