INTRODUCTION - LECURE 1

In my first hours of entering university I am being told I am a journalist. I am not convinced by these inspiring words, without sounding to dull. I was sitting there in a lecture room, with no ground breaking stories near, with sweaty palms and no pen (that's right, I forgot a pen to my first university day, I will not make that mistake again!). I did not feel close to being a exciting, confident journalist. Although as my lecturer (Bruce Redman) began to illustrate on how journalism is in everyday life with everyday people I began to see myself as a energetic, eager young reporter. 

This was only the first lecture but I was already excited about what was to come with this class. It excited me on how I can give attention to important issues that are being smothered with "plastic surgery gone wrong" stories, ultimately (without sounding to cheesy) change the world (well that did sound way to cheese fest).

We are journalists!
