Print Journalism

I was really looking forward to the lecture that was finally given to us today. I’ve always wanted to go into a career of writing, so print journalism was something that I was greatly looking forward too. When we sat down, I was ready to learn, and overall in a very attentive mood. What I got was not what I expected to get.

    The lecture today was very based on dates and facts. One of my favorite factors of journalism is the fact it is based in modern times. We don’t have to memorize dates to be a journalist. I understood the reason of going back to when the first printer press was created to understand the depths of print journalism, but it just didn’t catch my attention as much as the other lectures we’ve had.

    Another reason I found today’s class less interesting is I thought that we would have been going over how to write, not the backbone. This could definitely me just getting my hopes up, or expecting something that wasn’t there for me to expect.

    There could have been outside factors on why I wasn’t as attentive today. Little sleep, no food in my stomach ext. The final product though was me getting less out of the lecture than usual.

    Though, today was probably an introduction into basics of print journalism, I can say with confidence that that it did not catch my attention as I would have hoped. I am still looking forward to going deeper into this topic in future class, with a hope of being more attentive.
