Story Pitches for Quinn and Ford

Quinn:

I know that T.J. Quinn gave up his Baseball Hall of Fame vote a few years ago, so I think it would be a really cool story if he did a story based on that. For the story, I think he should talk to other journalists who have done the same thing and get to the root of why many journalists have made this decision. I think it would also be good to talk to other writers who kept their vote and why they did that. The Baseball Hall of Fame and the voting process have been a hot topic in the past decade as more PED users have got on the ballot. The issue has completely changed the culture of how people are voting. I would be very interested to see what journalists themselves are thinking about the issue and how that has effected their desire to have a Hall of Fame vote.

Ford:

Bonnie Ford did extensive coverage of the Boston Bombings and the stories of the people who experienced that day. As we approach the three year anniversary of the bombings in the next few months, I think it would be very interesting to go back and see how those people are doing nowadays and how they have moved on from that tragedy. It would interesting to see how some of the first responders like Devin Wang and others have moved with their lives and where they are today. This event became a prominent in the history of Boston and these people lives. Those who were hurt and the first responders are well known at this point, so I am sure the public would be interested in seeing where they now. The article would take a look back at tragic day almost three years ago, but also look at a hopeful future for the people involved.
