It’s a tough time to be a journalist. President Trump has called the news media “the enemy of the American People!” (and in CNS, we responded with tongue in cheek). Moreover, the news industry is under intense financial pressure. To survive those challenges, journalists must have an equally intense level of commitment. In one assignment in CNS, students articulated why they want to be journalists.

The CNS reporters for Spring 2017 were:

I am looking for Will Gonzalez. He wrote a story in 2020 about “Northam’s signature gives Virginia 4th lowest insulin cap”.
Cap the costs of prescription insulin copays at $50.00 a month. Signed into law.
Well, THAT is NOT the case. Today I paid $200.00 for my copay (Anthem) for just ONE of my insulin prescriptions.
I am widowed, disabled and live on a FIXED income. No savings. No room for $200.00 a month insulin. I paid it, it just
means I have to do without for other things I need. So, what does that mean. It means I will have to use it sparingly, NOT
how the Doctor prescribed it, I will have to make it last MANY months, which puts my health at risk, I have no choice.
If the Governor thinks his law is being followed, he is sadly mistaken.
There should be some kind of follow-up on this story, because the story is NOT true. What was written DID NOT HAPPEN.
You can call me 804-561-2077
Please withhold my name from publication.
