This is my last blog as a student of JRN 301 at Stony Brook University. It’s been exciting experience writing this blog. It was also an experiment, playing with less than traditional forms of news writing. There was a certain feeling of freedom that I haven’t had while writing in any of my other classes. I’ve gained a tremendous respect for successful bloggers who provide educated opinions.
Also, there was a high learning curve for me. For example, learning more about television, then I ever wanted to know. The technological terms that came with all of this knowledge was somewhat overwhelming.
Great newspapers have folded and made some journalists pessimistic about our future. But, I look forward to being a part of the coming changes in journalism. In just a few months so much has changed. In my opinion the industry seems to be moving forward. From what my class has seen and studied during this semester, the only thing I can predict is that the opportunities are endless. But this isn’t goodbye. This more like see you later. What follows here is just one example. I love the premise of the Times Wire.
The New York Times unveiled Times Wire. The new site will offer blurbs and more about breaking news. Viewers can customize their news or read section by section. It links to blogs and updates every minute. Also on Monday it launched the new look of the TimesReader, a subscription based e-paper, now more closely resembles the paper version of the New York Times.
Until we meet again,
