This is the first blog that I will have ever kept up properly and that is mostly due to its being directly tied into a course that I am currently taking. I have now started CMJ 236, which is an introductory course to Journalism. The course will cover the basics of good writing, grammar and punctuation, and will instruct on writing styles pertaining to journalism and communications.
So, your question should be, “why is she taking a journalism course?”
I like journalism. So many of us read the newspaper or Google current events and extract information that we enjoy and find valuable. But, who puts the information out there in the first place? Journalists.
Journalists are in the trenches trying to find out the information that no one else knows. They dig deep and they work extremely hard to find journalistic stories and the facts to back them up, and it’s not easy. You have to respect people who write and report for major news firms all over the world because they had to work really hard to get there.
So why am I taking a journalism course? Because, I like and respect journalism and because I am not one of those people who likes to look at the thinly veiled façades that people put on; I like to go deep and find out the real facts and stories.
