Assignment 3

Research, sourcing and diversity

My story idea we discussed in class was dog days, which was about the only no kill animal shelter in Morgantown. I would interview the person who is in charge of the shelter. Her name is Rhonda Smith and her phone number is 304-282-4052. I would interview a dog own. Adam Saad is a dog owner her in Morgantown who I would interview and his phone number is 703-927-0549. I would also interview a random person who doesn’t have a pet. I would interview Ben Tantillo because he doesn’t have a pet. His number is 908-268-8346. A store that exemplifies diversity is Hollister. They always hire different kinds of people from Asian to Caucasian , to exemplify diversity so all kinds of people buy their clothing. I would interview the owner of Hollister which is also the owner of Abercrombie & Fitch. I would interview someone who works their, like Devon Lopez. Her phone number is 304-549-7497. I would also interview someone who shops their like Amber Fissel. Her phone number is 443-676-9535.

Rhonda Smith might know why theirs only one no kill shelter in Morgantown, all the information about where she finds the animals, the hours, who volunteers, the events, and the kind of people who come in to adopt these animals. Adam Saad could know why there are so many animals running in the streets of Morgantown since he’s a student with a dog and how he feels about the no kill shelter in Morgantown. I would interview Ben Tantillo because he doesn’t have a pet so he could give his opinion from an outside view. The owner of Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch could explain why they hire different kind of people on purpose in detail. He/She could also give all the facts and information I would need about it. Devon Lopez could contribute what its like working in a diverse place and why she chooses to work their. Amber Fissel who is African American could explain why she shops at Hollister.

I found the owner of the animal shelter through a fellow classmate. I found a dog owner through recommendation. I found a non animal owner through a friend. I didn’t find the owner of Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch. I tried looking through the internet but it doesn’t say. I found someone who works at Hollister through a friend. Last but not least I found someone who shops at Hollister through a family member.

I would interview Rhonda Smith, the women in charge of the animal shelter, for the dog days story. I would ask her 1. How many volunteers they get at the animal shelter. 2. What kind of events do they hold? 3. How many animals they get a week?
