I went into this class thinking that it would be a bunch of writing that I would never need to know how to use. Now, however, I notice journalism tactics in writing everywhere. I also pay closer attention to the newspaper now. I find myself checking over the stories to see how well the author wrote the story. My perspective changed because now I appreciate journalism. I may not use it after this class, but atleast I won't think that writing a story for an event or interviewing subjects is simple, I understand how much work the journalists put into their stories.

A lot of people think that interviewing and writing a story is a piece of cake but it really isnt.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I didn't think that writing the stories was that difficult, but now i realize how hard it really is.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear that you've discovered a new appreciation for journalism, Ashley, and that you recognize what a difficult job it can be. I also hope that when you read or hear the news that you critically evaluate what is presented to determine whether it is a "good" story, ie. one that fairly presents the facts and includes multiple perspectives. Good luck in your future endeavors!
