MCOM 258: Who am I? ...Why am I here?

My name is Katie. I am a journalism and new media major. I graduated from community college in 2008 and transferred to Towson in the fall. I am interested in documentaries, traveling, art- photo,music,film,fashion. I am also interested in sociology and learning about other cultures.

As of now I'm not interested in hard news and I wouldn't want to write for a newspaper. I am more interested in magazine writing and working with new media. Last semester I took the Evolution of the American Media and that class sparked my interest in literary journalism---or really the idea of immersing myself in a culture/lifestyle for a longer period of time.

I am hoping that this class allows me to get more comfortable with publishing online as well as using new media.
