Monday's journalism class really opened all of our eyes to re-think crime stories and the way we read them, analyze them and write about them. i truly reevaluated the way i read stories and there were facts that prof. Robertson pointed out to us that we failed to notice and read in the crime handouts that were given to us. crime stories is definitely not my forte, but the in class practice write ups that we did last week gave us good practice and taught us some valuable skills in the field of journalism (don't assume, get your facts straight, read carefully and analyze well, think on your feet, etc.) i hope we don't crash and burn during our final exam like we did the last time, so good luck to all. tomorrow, we are visiting the San Francisco Chronicle on mission street and i am very delighted to go! i personally have never been inside the chronicle, only passed by it numerous times. i really want to see what a journalist experiences in the office on a daily basis. is the career really difficult? is the chronicle competitive? journalism is such a complex, yet intriguing field and i know we will all have a good time and get a lot of information from them.
