Last class someone who works for the union tribune came in to help the journalism class proof the newspaper and give a lecture about the change that is occurring in news. He found errors in the school newspaper that didn’t even cross the students minds and helped them open up to new ways of editing and finding errors.
While he was here the class was able to get a better understanding about how the news industry is changing, and how the internet has influenced the paper copies of news. The internet has made printed news somewhat old school and not as important in people’s minds. Because of this change in interest news companies have been led to also provide internet sources of news, and newspapers nationwide have gotten together to share news and keep the industry running.
I think that the man who came in was insightful and led us to things we wouldn’t of thought of on our own. It was very nice of him to take time out of his day to speak to us. And I think it was interesting to listen to someone who made it as a journalist, and understand what it takes to become one.
