100 Things To Do In Newark Before You Die

Alexandra Hill

 

Thinking about Catching a Devils game at the Prudential Center, and then heading to the Ironbound for a Brazilian burger, or even exploring the breathtaking architecture of the Cathedral Basilica of The Sacred Heart, these are just a few of the things in a new comprehensive guide to New Jersey's largest city titled, 100 Things To Do In Newark Before You Die, and WBGO's Alexandra Hill recently caught up to the books author Lauren Craig to talk all things Newark.

 

Alexandra Hill began her work with WBGO in June of 2012 in the news department. A graduate of the Rutgers Newark journalism program, Alexandra was also a student of WBGO News Director Doug Doyle. Alexandra has since become the lead general assignment reporter, afternoon news anchor, and producer of the award winning live call in show Newark Today. Since working for WBGO Alexandra has covered politics in and around Newark including the 2014 mayoral campaign of Mayor Ras Baraka as well as the senate campaigns of former Newark Mayor and now U.S. Senator Cory Booker in both 2013 and 2014. Alexandra also covers a host of human-interest stories, and has been recognized by the New York Association Of Black Journalists for her piece entitled Sheltering Newark’s Homeless.
