Throughout this class I have definitely learned more about
writing and certainly acquired more knowledge about the news and its process in
general. One of the key things I have reinforced about writing is that it does
not always have to be a formal cut-and-dry process- there is various ways of
writing that are used for different purposes. I’ve gained an understanding of
what blogging is and what its significance is. At first, I had a sort of
negative stigma towards blogging, but as time went on I started to enjoy it. It
was an informal way of communicating my ideas to the world for free. I enjoyed
being able to write in the way I felt was appropriate and I especially liked
that I did not have to edit each post numerous times. Blogging has definitely
enhanced by ability to get down my thoughts which is useful in its self but
also it has increased my ability to write longer and more formal essays where
writers block can become an issue. I will definitely be able to brainstorm for
formal essays much more efficiently with this new understanding of writing. I
always way able to enjoy news organizations in depth, like the New York Times,
and it has not only given me insight into current events, but has rekindled my
passion for news and debate. Overall, this class has benefitted me by
broadening my understanding of writing and its various requirements and
processes, and has also re-sparked my interest in the news.
