I am a print journalism major.
I generally read online news. I read the New York Times online for local and global news, I go to MSNBC.com for my broadcast news if I am not near a television (I have no specific channel of preference for my broadcast news on television) and I go to Deadline.com for news within the entertainment industry.
I have a blog now that I am in JOUR309, I have had a facebook page since my junior year of high school although I only check it on my phone when I have nothing else to do and I have a Twitter account from when I was asked to set one up in an introdcutory journalism course; I never post anything on Twitter yet I have about twenty followers as of now.
I am a PC. I unfortunately was too stubborn to make the conversion to Mac when everyone else did. Hopefully what I learn in this course can finally "let me see the light."
I have very little skill with technology aside from the basic functions of Microsoft Office. I am embarrassed to say that I do not even know what "html" is and I have never used any kind of editing proagram such as photoshop. I am however eager to learn everything and glad that I am fianlly in a class that can catch me up with the world.
In three years I would ideally like to be a fairly successful screenwriter and making my way into the field of producing large budget motion pictures.
A fun fact about myself is that what I sometimes lack in skill, I make up for with eagerness to learn.
This semester I plan to track The New York Times (online), MSNBC.com and Deadline.com
