This post and the 11 others preceding it are embeds of the final News21 stories from my 2009 summer fellowship. These videos are being both hosted on Vimeo and on the project’s website.

I also want to make sure I share credit on these 11 videos with my partner, Andrew Burton, whose work ethic and multimedia skills helped make our team the most prolific and – in my opinion- successful.

In Lincoln City, Oregon, the coolest kid in school isn’t the quarterback or a cheerleader. It’s an artist. Students and teachers alike from Taft High School routinely visit Kaity Curry’s Web site to see if they made it into her “doodle diary.” Her cartoons capture moments in her life that she wants to remember. She posts her favorites to her blog: Frankensteinbeck. She explains: “I like Frankenstein, Steinbeck… oh and the musician, Beck.”
