Multimedia

Hello everyone. Welcome to my blog. This is the first time that I have ever taken a class that incorporates multimedia. Since the world of journalism has changed rapidly with the advanced technology, I was advised that if I wanted to compete getting a powerful news story, I needed to learn how to use these gadgets. I think taking this class will benefit me on the long run. I have read some stories that shocked me this week; most of them on msn.com. One story was a couple who were going to conceive their 19th child. Each and every one of the 18 children have been born naturally. I did not think that was physically possible. I also read an article about how Curt Schilling is interested to run for the late Edward Kennedy's seat in the Senate. We all know that Schilling is known for the loving the spotlight, but this is a big one. Since I went on a study abroad to London in the previous semester, I am more interested in the world news. What I want to be looking for is more pictures of people in the international world and see how they live. What makes me nervous is weather the multimedia I put on this blog can satisfy my viewers, since I am already intimidated by this course. But I will conquer my fears and do what I need to do to improve myself as a journalist. Since I live in an international dorm, I want to do profiles or feature stories about the international students that live in the dorm. I hope that this will be a good semester and I am looking forward to learn how to use the technology required in this course.
