Week 7

    For my story next story I have decided to do a Wakelet story. Since High Point Furniture Market just ended, I have chosen to do my story on decorating a home using all sustainable and recycled furniture. The average person spends about $8,000 on a one bedroom apartment. For my story I plan on breaking down each room of the apartment and giving sustainable and cost effective furniture. 

    Over break, I went home to New York. On the way back from my trip I spent a lot of time looking at the different billboards around Northern North Carolina. I thought it was very interesting and related to my last story, but there were about 4 different billboards highlighting the year of the trails. 

    While looking at different news going on right now I have seen a lot about daylight saving and the effects it has on health. I think this would make for an interesting story in seeing its effects in North Carolina.

Week 6

     This past week I have collected and done research concerning my next story. I have reached out to sources in the fashion department and we are figuring out a day before break the we can do an interview. I am still deciding, however; if I would like to do broadcast or multimedia for this next story. 

    I am also paying attention to High Point Furniture Market that is coming up soon. For this they are using much more sustainable materials in their designs for 2023. This includes bamboo and recycled materials. I think a story about this would be a great one to work on. I do think a good story idea for this would be how implementing more sustainable materials effected Market this year. I believe it would be a good post furniture market story. 

    This next week I will continue doing research on both second hand shopping and Furniture Market but I will also construct questions I can ask for the interviews.
