Hi! I’m Daphne Fetsko and I am very excited to start working as a Youth Reporter for the Pittsburgh Youth Media program. The reason I decided to join this program is because I love journalism in various forms, especially in writing. I have a very strong interest in writing just about anything, and doing this program gives me the chance to write and report on events happening around Pittsburgh. Being a writer is one of my future career plans, so I am really excited to get this opportunity of experience in the field of journalism. This program also gives me the chance to get out of my comfort zone because I get very nervous doing interviews or presentations, and this program has already given me some practice in both of those things. I am very interested in what is happening around me in various different topics, so this program is a great way for me to expand my knowledge in the news field and in the journalism field.
