Earth Day
Profile:
A great profile would be one on religious organizations that encourage the members of their congregations to not believe in global warming, or teach that it's not a real problem.
News Item/Visual:
On Tuesday, there is an Earth Day event in the Military Triangle at Times Square. It's for Keep America Beautiful's Great American Cleanup campaign. Keep America Beautiful is a large organization and should be able to produce an exciting event that will have great photographs.
Investigation:
I think a piece on who each of the three major contenders would hire as environmentally related advisers if they were elected. This would present the environment-and-the-election beat in a new light.
The Pope
Profile:
I would love to do a profile on all of the hundreds of police officers who had to stand around guarding the areas where the Pope was. It would be interesting to hear what they think about spending their days doing essentially nothing.
News Item/Visual:
I know this has been said before, but I think that the Pope's mass at Yankee Stadium will provide the best photo opportunity and news event. Another interesting photo opportunity might be his visit to the Park East Synagogue. These would be more actively interesting photographs (and stories) than, say, an address at the U.N.
Investigation:
One interesting take on the Pope's visit would be the amount of money the City of New York spent on his visit. Signage, advertisement, security officers...the cost adds up. Does the income brought in from tourists wanting to see the Pope?
