Video interviews with township council candidates from Verona, Cedar Grove


With municipal elections in Verona and Cedar Grove drawing near, we decided to interview all of the candidates on video. The candidates – four in Verona; two in Cedar Grove – were given three minutes to answer each question.

In total, the project consisted of 10 videos that were put together in a little less than a week and a half. While I would have loved to have additional time to put everything together, it was a great learning experience. I can’t wait to work on my next project. I have some new ideas up my sleeves.

The rest of the videos can be found on the Verona-Cedar Grove Times’ YouTube page.

How high can Cedar Grove athlete David Njoku jump? Pretty high, it turns out. We thought this would be a fun way to illustrate the story. This graphic won a 2014 New Jersey Press Association award.
