Hi guys,
I already wrote a post a couple of days ago but unfortunately didn't get any answers. But Mick encouraged me to try again.
I'm a German student and right now studying at American University in DC. My major is journalism and I have also worked as a freelancer for the last couple of years.
For my journalism class I have to write a profile story. That means to portrait a person by observing and talking to him/her, and would also include to talk to friends/colleagues and maybe even family members. And I would like to write my profile about a skilled base jumper.
Last weekend I have been to the Bridge Day and talked to some of you. It was a great experience and it supported my decision to do a story on one of you. But unfortunately there was no one from the DC area (DC/MD/VA). And as I don't own a car it would be important for me to find someone who's living close to DC.
As I know there are some reservations about journalists I want to ensure that I would do everything necessary for you to confide in me. I would be accurate and fair, and would guarantee the highest transparency of my work possible. My goal is NOT so show how crazy or dangerous base jumping is, but write a comprehensive profile on an interesting person.
As this story is due to October 30 it would be great if you could answer me asap!
Thanks a lot,
Matthias
btw: I did this story on BD for a German newspaper.
