by Stephanie TaylorI have writer's block and am exhausted from the long plane ride back to Chicago. I'm really not sure what my feature story is about yet. I may do a profile on a feminist group who is in favor of girls being allowed to wear head scarves in Paris' public schools where they are currently prohibited.
Brainstorming over obstacles
So I figured the feature should be on a group for or against it. This idea is still being ironed out, though. I did speak with Angela, in person, who is on maternity leave from the Associated Press while I was in Paris and she had a rough idea of this feminist group. I tried calling her several times to see if she found out more but I couldn't get through for some odd reason.
I also spoke with Katrin Bennhold of the International Herald-Tribune on the news story and also tried contacting her but couldn’t get through there either. I wanted to know if she knew of any organizations that are for or against this issue in the public schools. I plan on emailing and/or calling both women on Tuesday after the holiday.
Ending
I feel much better about my feature now that I ironed it out for you all. I have some research of my own to do and I am looking forward to it. I know that there will be more obstacles to come. It would not be journalism if the tough times did not exist.
