My First Post

My First Blog

           
        Topic#1: About Me 

          I'm a new blogger and I would like to introduce myself, my name is Carol and I am taking Journalism at Linn-Benton Community College. I am in pursuit of my degree and a new career in writing. My hope is to one day be a freelance writer; write about things that I have an interest in. I also one day would love to write a book about my life, this is so my grandson will know everything about me. I have been going to college for four terms now. When I first started here at LBCC I was not sure what I wanted to study, then I took my first writing class and I knew. Writing is what I love to do. I am taking news reporting and writing as the first of many classes in journalism. I'm hoping this can head me in a new direction in the work force.



Topic#2: Class Glossary


Attribution -- This is where you must always cite your sources. You would tell your readers where you got your information from. Example: When I have had to write a research essay, and had to use facts, I would have to give the resources that I used for the information I am relaying to you. i.e.,( give credit to the one that did all the work). As a person reporting any kind of information to the public or anyone reading what you wrote,you must always say where you received your information from. (CLC)

 Topic#3: Story #1

      My first news story is going to be on the hard work behind the scenes in the Commons kitchen.

       The sources I will be using for this story are, Chad Pope or Todd Ketterman, and the students that work there, as well as maybe even some of the customers.

             The five questions I intend to ask /answer about my story subject:

         

  1. Who picks the menu?
  2. Do the students do all the work?
  3. Is this part of their training for their degree program? 
  4. How long do the students work here?
  5. How do you decide who does what?
