okay...first blog

First blog for Advanced reporting and multimedia.


I actually didn't attend the first class since I had yet to get into the class. I waited at the classroom door, saw and spoke to Professor Marsters and then went home to do homework and later emailed to see if there was room for me in the class.

I did get in, obviously, but I don't have much to reflect on yet. I am very glad to have been able to take the class seeing as my only experience is in print and I would most definitely like to widen my scope.

I'm looking forward to learning new techniques to better prepare myself for all the changes going on in the new industry. I know first hand what it is like when a newspaper begins to lose money and has to come up with better ways to engage their readers, be it with online resources, new audio or videos.

Because of this I am excited at what this semester brings.
