What I like about this class so far?

For one, I appreciate being (practically) forced to read the news. For once, I was the one informing my co-workers of the most recent news instead of being informed by them. I feel like current events are becoming a bigger part of my life, and like any other type of learning, it gives me the thirst for wanting to continue to learn about the world around me. I found a pretty cool way to do this too. Check out the link bellow for an interesting way to look at headlines, both national and world-wide:

I also like our in-class discussions. I'm learning a lot of new tips I hadn't caught on to before. Being in this class has given me a chance to really ask myself if maybe reporting and news-writing might be of more interest to me than to just round out my resume and my skills as a technical producer. Maybe it's because Reisner feeds it to us like such a cool career choice. I may be biased because I find it ridiculously cool that he took his daughter to a Paramore concert, and therefore anything he does must be cool?

O.k, I'll stop, for now.
