In my "Weekly Warrior" section I will be taking a look at what I am currently doing as a broadcast journalism student at the University of Missouri.
I am currently working on a package right now covering Black History Month at the university. Mizzou does a great job of recognizing the month by hosting 40 events to help celebrate. This year, the theme of the event is "African Americans and the Civil War." Tonight I am going to see an English professor at the university play a traditional African instrument and hoping to ask him some questions about Black History Month, what he does, and why this is so important to him.
I think the thing that has been toughest for me so far is getting reacquainted with the technology. Anyone familiar with resources like Avid and iNews knows that taking a month layoff and getting thrown back into the fire is a pretty tough thing to do.
As always, I'm learning more in lecture every week. I think one thing that really hit home was the "pregnant eye" story structure. The "sell-tell-tag" technique is a great way to think about proposing a story. Hopefully this can not only improve my writing, but also improve my capturing and editing processes.
