A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
You have been chosen to speak at a Zoom conference concerning your chosen field. Over 500 people will attend. Each of them is new to your field and are waiting to hear words of advice from you about this field. What will you say to them to them concerning things you wish you’d known about the industry when you were getting started? Quote: 39 Funny Meetings Memes - "Meeting at 9:30 am? But that's when I look at cat pictures on the internet." {https://winkgo.com/meetings-memes/} If the meeting is about Journalism: (How long is this conference?) I would have to build an outline but it might go something like this. 1.The history of how humans spread news. 2. Specific types of journalism. a. short historical development of each type. b. choosing specific journalism studies/ Different types of stories available/Different types of journalists. 3. Some journalism sociology a. journalism ethics 4. Journalism anecdotes: Like how many journalists are murdered? Stresses of the job? What human characteristics make up a good journalist? 500 new journalists or more. Where will we put them all? Happy Trails |
