Hi world, not that I can see anyone reading this post...ever. That's okay. So down to business--the reason I have started this blog is because I have this thing called a Graduation Project. This project is required to graduate in my high school, at first I was nervous about the entire thing but now that I have figured out what I am doing a lot of the stress has been lifted.
What I am doing--Shadowing a newspaper editor.
Why I am doing it--This is what I would like to do in the future, and that is why I want to "try it out" so to speak.
You may ask yourself "Why is this girl blogging about some project?" Well I want to address this question: Can newspapers transition onto the internet while still providing the information its readers want?
With today's ways of communication (Twitter, blogging, TMZ) news travels faster and it tends to be a little lacking in detail. I will admit that I am more likely to look something up on the Internet than search for it in the good 'ol black and white, but I did grow up with the Internet constantly available to me. In fact, I'm writing this on my laptop right now, as I am sure most people do nowadays.
As I shadow the editor I will be writing about some of my experiences but the main purpose of this blog is for me to read an article of news every day and post my opinion on it. In my AP Environmental Sciences class my teacher did this every beginning of class and it always had an interesting impact on my train of thought. I think if I force myself to read a piece of news I am more likely to know more about something going on in the world and it can only benefit me.
If you choose to read this, so be it! I think I'm going to have fun, I hope you, whoever you may be, have fun reading it!
