We published a mass
interview where students from
every grade were asked “How
do you think that Bostonians,
Boston and the Boston
Marathon should react to the
recent bombings?”

Last but not least, one of
our sports editors, Jacob
Gurvis, wrote a feature about
how sports teams bring
people together in times of
tragedy.

Emphasis on
community
D
ue to our vicinity to the
bombing (the marathon
goes through Newton itself),
we covered the event in
numerous ways.
On the Thursday after
the bombing, we posted a
column written by our opinions
editor, Jared Perlo. The
column responding to the
event encourages students
and community members to
come together, provide help to
those in need and not let acts
of terror define the country.

At the beginning of the
week following the marathon
bombing, we published
five Q&A-style series of
interviews. Two of the series
are interviews with seniors
who ran the marathon, one is
with a senior who had gone to
watch her dad run, one is with
a teacher who had gone to
watch her mother-in-law run,
and one is with a sophomore
Leah Budson,
who shadowed her father,
WGBH CEO Jon Abbott, on
the April 20 when WGBH was
providing on-site coverage
of the search for the second
suspect.

A slice of the event
I
had started the reporting for the story before the marathon happened.
Brookline borders Boston, and the race course runs through our town.
We knew that there were two students running the 26.2 mile event, and
we thought it could make a nice feature to post on our website. I interviewed
Ella MacVeagh the week before the race, just as she was tapering down and
carboloading.
After I heard about the bombings, I checked in with her. She was okay, but
didn’t want to be interviewed. However, Sophie Lev was happy to talk, so I
interviewed both her and her mother.
The article that came out was not an authoritative version of all that
happened that day, but just one slice of it that was experienced by members
of our school community.
It was posted on the web April 25 and was printed in our May issue.
