Reporting & Writing Final

My final reporting/writing assignment, in summary, asked me to write a relevant news-release-style story of my own choosing. It required interviewing five miscellaneous sources, including at least two expert sources, as well as citing credible statistics and research from additional sources. It was graded for its effectiveness in the lead, structure/style, organization, thoroughness, news value, and quality of the quotes taken. AI tools were used to improve grammar/flow and transcribe interviews; however, no information nor segment of this writing was generated by AI. I am the sole author of this work.
