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 kn...

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 n...

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....

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

Create: Part One
I have had the creating aspect of this blog in my head for a while and as my individual deadline had grown closer I have been striving to achieve it more and more. Honestly my english skills are being suppressed a bit in the class I'm in so I am needing to almost relearn things that I was a pro at last year. I have never really been educated in the art of journalistic writing. This lack of knowlegde lead me to the "all-knowing" google. Here is what I have...

Modern Journalism Infographic
The PEW research center had a competition of sorts to display the data from the modern news study. Here is the winning one. This is a cool way to demonstrate the analysis I had posted a while back in a new w...
Still No Scholarships
I posted a while back about looking for scholarship opprotunities for people my age. It seems like all of the ones readily availible are either for higschoolers entering college or college students entering the job market. I did find one website that offered scholorships for highschoolers but ut seems that the website hasn't been updated in almost a year. There is probably something out there and I will continue to keep an eye out but the outcome is looking...

The Future Of Mobile News
The Future Of Modern News
I can really relate to this article because, like the majority of americans, I am basically attached at the hip to my various moble devises. Falling into the 50% that own both a tablet and smartphone, I am hardpressed to find remember times during my day when I'm not...

News Anchors vs. Journalists
Most news anchors arent journalists but the most prominent ones that I have come across seem to do both. In order to become a news anchor you dont really need to posess the skills of journalist. Local anchors often times dont even know exactly what they are going to be talking about untill they are about to be on the air. One the most popular anchors of modern time, Anderson Cooper, at least makes it seem like he knows what hes's talking about. If he is completly...
