Advanced news

I am very excited to be taking this Advanced News Writing course this fall. With my past experiences in journalism, I have grown to truly appreciate the profession and I would love to keep learning different aspects of the profession. This past summer I wrote numerous features on various topics throughout my internship, but I would like to expand and learn the techniques of writing a proper news story. I liked writing features because I could make each story more colorful, but I also enjoy how straightforward news stories are. I am excited to learn how the profession is changing and keeping up with technological advances, such as blogs. I also want to grow confident in meeting new people and taking charge in the interview. This summer I had to come up with my own story ideas and I found that to be difficult, so I am excited to also work on that skill throughout the course.
