Well, I'm about half way through this class now. Got through headlines, yay. Now we are on features. It's like the news in a story. This week we had to do a news feature. After an hour or so I decided on a story about the summer reading program at the library on post (base for you Air Force people). Writing the story wasn't hard. Comming up with the idea and questions for the interview, that was a bit more difficult. Had I gotten a second source for the story, I would have been the only person to pass. Nobody ever passes the first features assignment. I argued the point that I had all the information I needed for the story with the first interview. Appariently, a second source is always needed. Oh well. Did score higher than the other four people I know.
Monday we get to start using the cameras for the photojournalism part of the course. We will be using Nikon Dh1's. Thanx tax payers.
That's it for this time. I'll put the news feature on here sometime this week so y'all can see it.
I've enjoyed your posts a lot.
