Another semester has come and gone and I couldn’t be happier. This class truly was a learning experience.
I have always wanted to learn to blog and this class taught me the ins and outs of the entire process. This blog was different from other assignments I received that were of a similar nature because the issues that were covered were not only relevant but the stories also followed a strict deadline.
I really enjoyed having this blog because it gave me the opportunity to build news clips. Although they are not published under a publication, this blog is a compilation of stories. And since these stories are in regard to contemporary issues, I can show this compilation of stories to a future employer. Especially since an entry level employee may be likely to be assigned to cover a city council.
The most difficult part of this class was adapting to the Greeley City Council. Since I didn’t know how to write about governmental issues it was a challenge adjusting to the city council’s process and interpreting the material.
For those students who will be taking this class next year my best advice would be: give the city council the respect it deserves, although the blog posts aren’t for a specific publication it is important to write with the intended purpose.
