Hi! I’m Leah Becerra. Digital journalist by day. Blogger by night.
As a student of the Missouri School of Journalism, I studied multimedia reporting. Now, I use those skills to blog about a few passions of mine: technology, health and sweet gear that makes life a little easier.
If you’d like to find out more about me as a professional journalist, you can find that info at LeahBecerra.com.
Hi Leah. I’m from Springfield MO and recently came across something you did while working at the News Leader. It was an updated map of the locations of the informational placards for the Battle of Springfield. The only copy I can find of that is a poorly-scanned post on Pinterest. I know it’s a long-shot, but I was curious to know if you might have held on to the original, or if you could direct me to someone who might be able to help me. I know it’s been a few years, so I wasn’t sure. Hope you don’t mind me asking. Thanks in advance.
Hi, Tim!
Sorry. I don’t have those files anymore. I do wonder if the newspaper would have a pdf version of that day’s paper? The News-Leader might have that available through their digital archives or the e-edition.
Best of luck!
