TOPIC 1:
My
story will be about the LBCC Dance Club. I will have interviews with a dancer, one
of the club leaders, and the owner of the studio that they practice in. I was able
to get a generous amount of information on both the dance club and each of these
people’s roles in it. I talked with Jacob Birchard, Lex Porter, and Heather
Hill. They were all very helpful, and happy to talk with me – Lex informed me
that he used to work at The Commuter, and thought what we were doing was
amazing.
I have
myself been interested in dancing and wondered what it took to be involved. What
is the dance club? Where is it? How often do they meet? What kind of dancing do
they do? What’s their inspiration? When is the next performance? What would one
need to do if they wanted to join? These are some of the questions I inquired
about.
Honestly,
I haven’t written it all out yet, and decided entirely what direction to take
it in yet, I just know that I want people to be aware that the dance club is
out there because it seems like a blast to be involved in.
TOPIC 2:
I
enjoyed the last term of journalism I took immensely and am now considering
whether or not to pursue a career in journalism. I have been writing all my life,
but still have a copious amount of techniques to learn. One area I have little
experience in is the style we are dealing with in this class – feature writing.
In fact, I haven’t had much practice with article writing at all.
I want
to be proficient in AP style, learn how to correctly prepare for interviews and
stories, and know how to be concise. There are so many style of writing, and this
style intrigues me. I can already see that some of my hopes going into this
class are being answered, and I have learned a great deal in just a few
classes. I’m looking forward to learning, being critiqued, and growing in
skill.
