Like many student journalists, junior Mackenzie Wilkes began reporting on the pandemic in March, as schools and states closed and imposed restrictions to slow its spread. As executive director of Elon News Network, Elon’s student-run news organization, Wilkes wrote about the disparities in COVID-19 cases in Alamance County, how Elon University adjusted classes, and an election in the midst of a global pandemic.
