Today marks the first time that I have ever given anything of substance (we'll see how true that statement is) back to the Internet; the primary source of knowledge, entertainment, and a lifeline to most of today's world. I have tried for as long as possible to remain true to those who came before me; I enjoy writing free-hand rather than typing, I enjoy reading a newspaper rather than watching the scrolling news banners that dominate cable news-programs, and I use the Internet mostly to check my school e-mail inbox, and type papers for said classes.
However, with aspirations to be a news-reporter and a degree in journalism right around the corner, I have taken the first step towards becoming a member of society who feels as comfortable with a computer as I do with a notebook. Enrolling in an Advanced Reporting class will grant me the opportunity to broaden my technological horizons and give me a greater perspective of how to look at news stories. Hopefully by the end of the semester I will be able to not only write a factual, accurate, news-story but I will also be able to supplement those words with audio and video.
About Me
- Josh Clark
- NH, United States
- This blog has been created as part of an Advanced Reporting journalism class in order to help acclimate myself to the rapidly evolving world of technology. In today's media, it is essential to have awareness and knowledge of the different tools used to aid the contemporary journalist; pen and paper are no longer sufficient on their own.
