The final project was a rollercoaster ride. Kecia, my group member, and I had hard time finding a story. We first wanted to work on a story about healthcare for veterans, but the bureaucracy and secrecy in the VA prevented us from pursuing that project.
We then decided to go to the public library and see if they had any issues with government funding. Well they did have minor problems, but nothing major. However, while talking with one of the administrators at the main library in Gainesville, the issue of Archer library came up. Archer is this really poor town that is unable to grow because it has no sewage system. We decided to visit the Archer library and as soon as we stepped in that place, we knew we had a story.
With nothing to do in the town of Archer, the library is the place to be. So this video explores the economic issues in the city, the need for Internet access by the people and how the library is the major hotspot in the area.
So please check out our story and let us know what you think.
