On Tuesday evening, Lincoln Daily News reporter Matt Boutcher (standing center) spent time visiting with the students at the Center for Creativity and Community at the First Presbyterian Church in Lincoln.

Boutcher talked about the challenges of being a “hard news” reporter covering important issues at Logan County Board meetings. He also shared the enjoyable times he has had as well as first time experiences such as flying in a hot air balloon for LDN and covering judging events at the Logan County Fair.

He was asked several good questions by the students including the topic of how to trust news sources. This opened the door for Boutcher to talk about sources he reads personally, and also to talk about the LDN code of ethics and expectations that reports be honest, accurate and unbiased.
