These two guest speakers love people. They love meeting new people, finding new stories, and they enjoy informing people about things. They really made the field of journalism seem interesting again. They talked about going into work everyday and not having the same boring office work, instead it changes every day. They did have a few warnings about low pay and endless hours, but they really made it seem worth it.
They suggested to start with an internship, to get real world experience. Then make a catchy resume tape, and don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. They finished by telling us to not be afraid to think outside of the box and meet new people everyday.
There presentation was inspiring. It really got me more excited about the profession again. I learned that I cannot be afraid to get out there and I have to learn how to think outside the box about my stories
