After putting off taking my required WIC (writing intensive course) for 4 years, I’ve finally surrendered to the inevitable and am in the course. Luckily though, it’s changed a bit since I first heard of the horrors of Writing for the Media Professional. Contrary to tradition, we aren’t just focusing on print journalism this time around. The course promises to be more inclusive of various media –especially new media– that appeal to journalists and non-journalists alike. We’re going to explore what writing for the media means in the Internet age, hence: this blog.
This site will be a vehicle for writing and sharing class assignments, as well as posting personal entries if the mood strikes. A link to the NMC 301 blog is soon to come and will feature entries from each student.
For an idea of what good journalism on the web looks like, check out the rss feeds to the right, and if you’d like to take a peak into my life, my Flickr photos are generally pretty representative.
So stay tuned and expect plenty of posts about new media. You never know; they just might be interesting.
Fantastic, another blog to keep track of!
Bold move with the WordPress platform, I’ve never used it. I’m a steadfast blogger fan but… we’ll see.
