Here is to the start of 2010

One of my new year's resolutions is to write more since I am studying Journalism. One of the ways I can do that is to maintain a blog. Since I am heading into my last semester at the University of New Hampshire and the job search is looming, I have to polish my resume and qualifications to be marketable when I get out of school. I have had this blog since September 2009 when I had my Multimedia and Advanced Reporting class. The philosophy of the class was to learn about the evolution of multimedia and how it affects journalism. We learned how to take still photography, audio and video. It was difficult at first because I did not have prior experience with this technology, although, I have always believed that the only way that you learn something is if you learn how to fail. I did fail quite often, but I learned from my mistakes. In 2008, I did a blog called "The Juice Machine" which was about Boston Sports teams. I had a fun time writing about it, except I did not really market it towards anyone else. My plan is to market this blog to news companies to have them view my writing through the internet. I have many interests between sports, politics, traveling, movies, video games, reading and music. I am planning to write three days a week, Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The posts will be sports on Mondays, journalism on Wednesdays, and my status on Fridays. I hope you enjoy what my writing brings to you. My goals in this blog are to bring credible, validated writing to the audience and also to bring a forum to my readers. If any of you have a question or a comment to any of my posts, I will be happy to read and then write back to any of your comments. Be free to browse my work in my Multimedia class. I am looking forward to make a blog and this will be the start for the rest of my life as a journalist.
