Last Post of the Semester

As the semester winds down, I thought I'd write my last blog post of '08 about my experience with Journalism this year. I realized that my dream job is NOT working at the Chronicle, that newspapers are slowly diminishing, the future lies in the internet, that I was lucky to be able to write about the presidential election, that I may want to pursue something in documentary film, dry news is NOT for me, I want to write features, how to record audio/how to use final cut pro, how to use my camera and take decent pictures, my resume still lies at the bottom of endless piles- may have even made its way to the garbage, how to write an amazing lead, how it feels to be both a reporter and a photographer, and how to really offend someone you're interviewing.

I think I want to work at Current TV.

Black Friday brings bad news

Black Friday brought out the worst of a New York crowd that stampeded over a Walmart worker last Friday. I found a CNN article about this, but I just found it shocking that this even happened in the first place. People will take a persons life over a $5 discount? This economic crisis has brought out the worst in people. I think it's absolutely ridiculous. The holidays, which are supposed to bring people together, are driving people to do crazy things for savings. Check out the article below, and you can comment on the website as well....
