Snow Fall


This  article  by the New York Times is a great display of what digital media can, and should do. It mixes characteristics of print and digital media really well.

Blog Edit Progress

I have allowed myself to pause the research process to revamp my blog. As you can see I have added a custom template, and have become familiar with the HTML codes that make up my blog. I have not  enabled all of the links and pages yet but I will soon. As soon as the blog is finished I will let you know.

HTML What?!?

You have (hopefully) noticed that I completely changed my blogger template tonight. But now to edit some of the page headings and captions I have to edit the HTML code. I am in no way technologically gifted so if things look a little messed up just bear (bare?) with me for now.

My favorite journalist?


In speaking with my instructors we talked about which journalist I liked the most. My response was Brian Williams.  I really enjoy watching him on Nightly News, Rock Center, and occasionally on 30 Rock. He is a really entertaining journalist, his personality is more pronounced than many journalists. That view into his personality is why I believe he is so popular, and well liked. When he reports on something you really get the sense that he cares about what he talks about. Brian Willams is also involved in writing some of his material which is why I believe he can be considered both a journalist and a news anchor.

Digital Revolution

I really like these infographics....I will probably post more soon. They display information better than writing, especially for more visual learners.
