My two partners and I eagerly huddled around our yellow envelope. As we tore it open, we saw “Newport” in large font on the top of the page, and I felt a hint of excitement.

I had never heard of Newport but, after a quick Google search, learned that the city of about 2,200 people sits on the Washington-Idaho border just west of the Pend Oreille River. It’s a two-hour and 20-minute drive north from Pullman, and my team was ready to get on the road.

We were among 36 Washington State University students to participate in last fall’s 2024 Rural Reporting Plunge. This Edward R. Murrow College of Communication program gives students the chance to gain first-hand reporting experience while visiting small towns in Washington and Idaho that they may never have heard of, let alone seen.
