***<\/p>\n

The day the Supreme Court was scheduled to rule on two important gay marriage cases I arrived at the summer journalism program where I was working ready to teach. I knew a historic decision was about to be made, but after almost two decades in the news business I no longer got worked up about such things. The Supreme Court would rule and people would either protest or party, a story would be written and that was that. I was focused on other things: teaching my class, my next big story, the story I still needed to edit.<\/p>\n

But when I arrived at the Stanford University campus where the high school students I was working with were staying, I found plans had changed. The students had been up most of the night planning coverage. There would be no class that day. Instead the students had set up a strategy on how to cover the court rulings. Half of them were already headed to San Francisco to get reaction, the other half were monitoring laptops and iPads.<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t matter to them that thousands of prestigious news outlets were already covering the story. They didn\u2019t waste time worrying about the fact that they were not writing for a well known publication with a proven readership. They wanted to report the story and that was all that mattered to them. With their instructors helping them they created a website that offered live coverage of the unfolding story. They called it 1day1story (http:\/\/1day1story.newsroombythebay.com\/<\/a>) and immediately set to work compiling articles, videos, twitter posts and statistics.<\/p>\n

I was supposed to help them. Instead I found myself watching as they scrambled to post stories, report from the street and write articles. Trying to keep up with them I was reminded of the excitement of the chase, the pure thrill of reporting.<\/p>\n

I still get excited about stories. Reporting from Haiti was amazing. The first piece I did for National Geographic was thrilling. Tight deadlines are challenging. But in those cases it isn\u2019t so much the story that I am excited about as the details: the exotic location, the prestigious publication, the stressful deadline.<\/p>\n

These high school students were thrilled by the real story unfolding in front of them. They were using technology that didn\u2019t exist when I first entered the field, but the message they showed me was simpler. They reminded me why I had chosen the profession \u2014 the thrill of reporting and telling stories. The technology used to tell it, the publication that would run it, those were all distractions. It was the story that mattered.<\/p>\n

This fall I will be teaching a Journalism Workshop Course at U.C. Berkeley Extension (http:\/\/extension.berkeley.edu\/search\/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=41380<\/a>) and a Cross Cultural Reporting Course (http:\/\/extension.berkeley.edu\/search\/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=41385<\/a>)<\/p>\n
