after reading chapters 1, 2, and 3, i feel like i experienced deja vu. or rather, read a couple weeks worth of the class introduction to journalism. from what news consists of (impact, conflict, novelty, prominence, proximity, and timeliness) to being objective (which i think is, if not competely, but close to impossible), to multimedia journalism and its importance today to the same images of a news room organization of different types of newspapers.
also, reading about how to interview, in my opinion, is completely unhelpful. to fully understand how to conduct an interview you have to do it. it is a total real-life experience. while the basic fundamentals are useful to know, it is much better to just go through the motions.
it is good to review the important aspects of being a journalist and what skills you need, but there is such a thing as overkill. im just hoping that the next readings are more beneficial.
