Professional Project Review- ABC News

This news story was over a girl named Savannah Fulkerson who lives with Erythropoietic Porphyria- a disease which causes her skin to burn when exposed to the sun. Whenever she goes into the sunlight, a pain comes over her that is so unbearable that it brings tears to her eyes.  Ever since she was 4 years old, this medical mystery has taken over Savannah's life. Abbie Boudreau from ABC news goes inside to see what it's like to live a life without sunlight.

Throughout this news package there were interviews, home footage, and present day b-roll.  They did interviews with 3 different people which gave a lot of different perspectives such as Savannah, her mother, and a professional dermatologist.  It helped to tell Savannah's story from different point of views and also informed people more about her illness and what the symptoms and effects are.

While there are many things that went well in this package, there were also some things that could've been improved. I would've liked to see more insight of what actually happens on the inside of someone's body when they have this illness.  Also, it would've been interesting to see what hobbies Savannah enjoys/is able to do even with her illness.  Overall, however, I believe this news package was a well put together and thorough story.
