Student correspondent relishing her role

Student Journalism Program participant

Delilah Rose, student journalist for Door County Daily News, prepares a news story

by: Paul Schmitt

An interview three years ago through the Door County YMCA Youth in Government program led Delilah Rose into a journalistic opportunity she now loves.  Rose, a senior at Southern Door High School, has been a student correspondent at the radio stations of DoorCountyDailyNews.com since her sophomore year.  She says the chance to write stories and interview people about important issues and topics is the most rewarding part of the job.

Rose cites her story on AIDS last year as one of the most important articles she has written over the last three years.  Seeking a four-year college degree with a major in Pre-Law and a minor in Communication, Rose hopes to attend Lawrence University next fall after graduating from Southern Door High School in the spring.
