As graduate students in Virginia Commonwealth University's Multimedia Journalism program, my partner, Dena Reynolds, and I explored how the recession is affecting the efforts of local area Girl Scouts to sell cookies...with some surprising results.
The recession is hitting Richmond, Virginia unusually hard. The metro area's unemployment is the highest its been in 17 years and it is higher than the state's unemployment average. However, the Girl Scout troops are selling more cookies than they did last year.
