Miami is perhaps the best community for local news in the nation. One of your challenges will be to select among possible reporting assignments to produce articles with long-term impact and importance. Because Miami is also a community of newcomers, you will work to put background and context into your reports.
You will be writing for a well-educated audience and will probably be writing about some subjects that are new to you, requiring some research and backgrounding.
