Blog response: Kyra

theindependantperspective

I found most every blog that I looked at entertaining and thought provoking, but I also very much enjoyed Kyra's blog in particular, and her post about using different media to convey a message. (read it here:   http://theindependentperspective.blogspot.com/)

   I especially agree with her predisposed thoughts on the lecture. When I think of journalism, I think of writing in columns with small font and sporadic pictures. But journalism isn't just investigative writing. Sometimes, it isn't writing at all. I suppose I knew some of that going in to the lecture, but I left with a cool new sense of opportunity. Sort of like there were so many cool things I hadn't even thought about doing, like making a poster or a poem or a TV show. As long as they have a purpose of informing the public and conform to all of the elements and yardsticks, then it can be counted as journalism.

   This post also summed up what I learned from this class period very neatly into a couple of paragraphs. The post was well-written, thoughtful, and brief. I thoroughly enjoy Kyra's posts and blog.
