Where I am now?

At the start of this semester we had to write about ourselves and why we were studying Introduction to Journalism and Communication - JOUR1111. Over the past thirteen weeks I've shared with you what I've learnt through my lecture reflections and assignments, and now I'd like to share with you what I've learnt about myself, where I want to go, and how I want to get there.

- I realised that more than ever, I want to be sports journalist. I would love to write about something that I'm interested in everyday.
- I would love nothing more than to write on a country/regional paper for a year. Throughout the course it has been described as the best starting place for journalists and something that I genuinely find exciting.

I have also learnt about the power of social media. Over the duration of this course I have learnt about the significant role that sites like Twitter and Facebook play in how we receive our news and the way we will get our news in the future.

If this course has done nothing else, its further increased my hunger to be a journalist.
