My name is Brooke Johnson and I am a senior at the University of Northern Colorado majoring in journalism with an emphasis in news-editorial and minoring in business administration. I am creating this blog for my Reporting Contemporary Issues class. This blog will focus on the presidential election and Greeley, Colo., City Council meetings.
This is my first blog and I am excited to get started. I do find it nerve-wracking that anyone will be able to see what is written, but, at the same time, it is exciting that people will be able to read my thoughts on events!
I'm confident in my writing skills and believe that blogging about various topics will only help me improve.
Although I have never blogged before, I believe that it will be very different from the college writing assignments that I have had before. To me, blogging seems more informal and based mostly on opinions and beliefs of topics. Despite the informality, I will be sure to produce only quality work because blogs can be viewed by anyone.
By reporting on this blog, I hope to gain more confidence in my writing and covering of events. Although it is a class assignment, I feel that I will enjoy working on this blog because it is something that I could continue in the future!
