Lourdes Martin

Hi, I'm Lourdes, an exchange student from the School of Public Communication at the University of Navarra in Pamplona, Spain.

I cover the liberities beat for the newspaper service of the State Government Reporting Program.

I have spent the past school year at the University of Missouri School of Journalism for the final year of my journalism-degree program at Navarra. At the conclusion of the school year, I plan to spend several more months in the United States observing coverage of the political process.

Statehouse stories by Lourdes Martin include:

• 5/ 4/1995: Legislators approve bill to provide more child-abuse protections.
