Liam sees his role in the newsroom as bringing content you won't see anywhere else. From pitches to delivery, and everywhere in between, he asks the questions that will make his work stand out from the pack: Who won't be heard anywhere else? What angle isn't being discussed? How can this be shown so it can be understood? All of Liam's digital platforms represent him and his driven personality in a way that no resume or cover letter ever could. While he's a journalist in the head, he's a storyteller at heart. His best and favorite stories he's had the privilege of being a part of have been those that have allowed him to dive deeper into personal stories, get creative, and have expanded the way he sees the world.
During the winter term of his senior year at Elon, he was privileged enough to be accepted for the Iowa Caucuses course. For the class, he traveled to Des Moines, Iowa to report on-the-ground on presidential candidates, voters, and supporters to get an understanding of the political universe that you can't get anywhere else. In Iowa, Liam interviewed Republican Bill Weld, Democrat John Delaney, former Secretary of State John Delaney, and former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner. Photo Credit: Mark Dalhouse
