And that is a wrap. . .

After three hours of interviewing and polling conducted by our news team in and around the University of Texas at Austin area, our live coverage of News Enngagement Day 2016 has come to and end. We will continue to post interviews and news assembled earlier today by the student journalists covering News Engagement Day.

Many of the individuals we spoke with did not know today was News Engagement Day. We hope our coverage and interaction with the community in and around campus has prompted further engaement in news.

We appreciate the help of everyone who participated today and we hope you had fun. Thank you for following along.
