Blog post 3/14

For this blog post, I will be giving an update on my progress in JMS 430. Our story assignment is due next week, and at this point I have all of my interviews done. It is very exciting to have the opportunity to work on a story for the whole semester. This gives me a chance to use a lot of the journalistic interviewing techniques that we learned about last year like holding multiple interviews with your sources. Or, being able to incorporate multimedia into my story! Having all the extra time (instead of just a few weeks like we had for the 310W capstone) gives me the chance to go a lot more in depth which is the part of journalism that I’m most interested in. Being able to have ample time to research is a huge luxury, and I am taking the opportunity! I know that in the near future I won’t be doing this kind of in depth reporting for every kind of story when I’m working in the industry. This is the perfect opportunity to practice, and I’m so excited to get better!
