Introduced to Journalism?

Do I feel like I've been introduced to journalism? I can confidently say that this course is appropriately named. The difference between the girl who attended lecture 1 and lecture 14 is uncanny. To be honest,  I didn't know what to expect from this course. I chose to study journalism because in high school I seemed fairly good at english and I enjoy writing. At the beginning of the course, the lecturer said: "Anyone who chose journalism because you like writing, your doing the  wrong degree". A quick glance around the lecture theatre and it was obvious that like me, many people suffered a mini anxiety attack at that very moment. However, many weeks later, I understand what the lecturer was getting at. It all really depends on what area of journalism you want to make your mark in. I have never aspired to be a hard core print journalist with stringent deadlines and shrinking word counts, like many I'm sure, the feature writing, in depth and influential aspects of journalism have been my attraction. This course has made me realise both the difficulty involved in entering the journalism world, but has also revealed the potentials this "brave new world" brings into the journalism profession. As we keep getting told, now is an exciting time for journalism, despite the deathly outlooks for traditional media, so I guess you could say for now I'm just going to go with the flow, try my best to keep blogging, perhaps even start a new blog, be active in the twitter world, and just write and write and be the journalist our lecturer always told me I was.
