So this is it. My farewell blog post to my little spot of
cyberspace that I started all the way back at the start of the semester. To be
honest, starting a blog was a little bit daunting, because in my head only interesting
people with interesting things to say have blogs, and suddenly I had to be one
of them. From the first week in JOUR1111 I was told that I was the journalist,
and so I tried to start writing a bit like one. And as I started writing, I
learnt lots of little things about my writing style, and the kind of things I like
writing about.
Throughout JOUR1111, I learnt about all different aspects of
journalism, from radio to news values to investigation. Some of it I already
knew, and some I didn’t. It opened my eyes up to what the world of journalism
is about, and all the different facets of it. I’d like to think that I’m coming
out of this semester a little bit more of a journalist, and a little bit more knowledgeable
about it. I know I’ve still got a long way to go, but this semester, and this
blog, has enabled me to dip my toes into the ocean of journalism.
I’ve kind of liked blogging, and I might keep at it somewhere
else. But for now, it’s au revoir, and I’ll see you somewhere else in the media
world.
