Journalistic Writing for Non-Majors
This section of my website is for my Journalistic Writing portfolio.
Although I did have some previous experience with journalism, thanks to being the Sports section editor and writing my own Major League Baseball column for my high school's newspaper, I've always struggled with the idea of interviewing people. I'm a naturally shy person, and I deal with social anxiety as well. This class really challenged me to go outside of my comfort zone. I had to relearn the news story format and the proper way to prepare for an interview.
I feel that I gained a lot of knowledge from this course, and I will be able to integrate it into future journalism courses and endeavors.
