Following Bill in the Bitterroot

Whitney Bermes, an intern at the Ravalli Republic, had an eventful first week on the job. Here's what she had to say:

"So my first week on the job at the Ravalli Republic had me doing a little presidential campaign coverage of my own. Bill Clinton made a stop in Stevensville on Sunday, and I was lucky enough to cover it. But luckily I didn't have to do that 'Bill Clinton came and gave a speech' story. I just did a crowd reaction piece and it was wonderful. Very surreal seeing ol' Bill in speaking from the bed of a pick up truck in front of Stevi High.

"And I think my favorite part of the day was afterwards when my editor, Perry Backus, told me he had waited 20 years in his career to cover something like this and I got to cover it in my first week :)"
