Getting a story picked up by The Washington Post was one of my main goals for my Capital News Service semester.

I may have fallen short of getting a full bylined story into the Post, but my latest piece about campaign finance in the congressional race in Maryland’s 1st District was kindly included in the Post’s “First Click” email/blog about Maryland politics.

It’s not a huge deal, but it’s a nice morale boost after a J-school year that’s been chock-full of doom and gloom about journalism’s future.
