I have learned so much about the field of journalism, as well as myself. Just from these past two days i have learned that I have an interest in photography as well as writing. Today I help three of my fellow participants write a one minute liner for the WUSM 88.5 radio show. We learned how to record and edit sound for radio production. My group and I then travel downstairs to learn about news writing. To gain experience in this aspect of journalism we interviewed a fellow participant, and vice versa, about our personal lives, goals, quirks, etc. We compiled the answers of our interviewee to write a short biographical story. These will be published soon in the workshop's very own paper. After a short break, we gained experience in the fields of multimedia video and broadcasting. We learned how to operate our cameras to video interviews and other forms of multimedia. in the broadcasting segment of our busy day we paired up to make a news package on our goals for the future. I am ready to learn more about journalism and hope to gain plenty of friends before this unfortunately short time we are together is up.
