Living the Beat: Experiential Narratives

For six weeks, the summer News Reporting & Writing and Visual Journalism Fellows at The Poynter Institute have chronicled stories of St. Petersburg. In this final edition of Points South, they focus on their own experiences through personal reflection and visual storytelling.

Their work embodies Poynter's mission: To attract and develop journalists able to practice their craft and, perhaps most important, to reflect on how and why they do it.
