Intro to Blogging/Blog 1
Today is my first day as a blogger. The first five entries will be about media writing and MMC2100. Since I don’t know anything about blogging yet, you’ll follow me as my blogs get spiffier. This first one won’t be spiffy at all.
Lab eight forced me to have my first real reporting experience and, more importantly, my first photojournalism assignment. The reporting part wasn’t a cakewalk, but it wasn’t overwhelming, either. For the most part, I feel like people aren’t exactly waiting in line to be interviewed. They’re on their way to class, or they’re tired, or they’re annoyed, or they have to pee, or they don’t like your shirt. I didn’t run into anyone who was jazzed to talk to me. That’s not to say, however, that they weren’t largely cordial.
It was a good experience. Sure, I’d rather conduct email interviews for the rest of my life, but that’s not good journalism. That’s not really journalism at all.
