I can honestly say that I've learned a lot from print journalism over the course of this semester.
I would even go as far to say that print journalism was one of the toughest courses I have ever taken at AACC.
Print Journalism has taught me the importance of extracting facts, analyzing information, and presenting information to readers in which they can easily understand.
The main goal of enrolling into print journalism was to improve my writing skills and communication by asking questions.
I found this class to be very difficult (and often times stressful) because of the requirement of interviewing people.
I would often interview a dozen people. Often times, I would receive one worded answers.
Other times while interviewing people I would ask all the wrong questions or would forget to write information.
Do I want to continue with Journalism as a career?
Probably not....
I am happy with being a Business major and a Chinese minor.
Even though the subjects of Journalism, Business, and Chinese seem different.
The subjects share one common similarity.... They all require you to talk to people and extract information from them.
I believe that print journalism has given me interview experience.
I have always been in interviews were I had to answer questions for a job.
However, I never had experience conducting an interview until print journalism forced me to preform interviews.
Do I want to continue Journalism as a hobby?
Yes, I do plan on making my own blog (and website) in the future.
Print Journalism has taught me some of the basics.
I believe that creating a blog is a good way to obtain new skills as well as developing myself professionally.
