speakers

On Sept 14th, three different speakers from VOX, KOMU and a teacher from the convergence school came into our class and talked to us about the different possibilities these programs have to offer. I wasn't really interested in magazines but when he started talking to us about the different things we would be able to do in VOX it seemed like another interesting aspect of journalism to maybe consider. It was really cool when he talked about how the his students were working on an app to put on the i-pad, which made it seem like this was legit and it extended out into the real world. However when the speaker from KOMU started talking to us about what she did and what the students she works with do, I listened very intently because she was describing what I wanted to later in life.
It was really funny when she said to not say that "we would like to be on tv" when we go into KOMU because I'm sure that's what everybody is thinking when they walk in there but only some of them actually say it out loud. But when she was talking about how students were able to go out into St. Louis and go out into the different places to interview people and get the full story, I got really excited because this is what I want to do. She was also talking about how kids are able to get internships after they graduate from this school and after they work at KOMU because of how much they learn from the people at KOMU and how much experience we are able to have because of the different tasks we are put in charge of, which is obviously a very good opportunity for anybody's future. I for sure want to check this out next year when I know for sure broadcast journalism is the major I really want to involved in.
