Hello everyone!
We are starting our new rotations today and I am very excited to see a new part of the company. Our group just finished the Content rotation and I really enjoyed it. We worked primarily with U-T editor Jeff Light and North County editor Adrian Vore and they were both extremely helpful. We learned about the various aspects of journalism including reporting, social networking and even a little photography. We all had the opportunity to go out and cover an event of our choice and write a full report with a written story, various tweets and photographs. The event that I covered was a performance by Sailesh the Hypnotist on campus put on by the Torero Program Board. The event actually turned out to be a lot of fun and it was sort of exciting having the chance to act like a reporter for an evening. It is shocking to see how much goes into even one small story like the ones that we were assigned. Although we are all marketing students I also study communication so this rotation was particularly stimulating for me.
We went over all of our reports on Monday and they seemed very please with our work. This rotation felt very much like an actual class as opposed to work and I feel like the whole group learned a lot. I am excited to get into the next rotation and see how our marketing skills can be put to work. I am also anxious to begin really planning the event because I know everyone has a lot of great ideas! I hope that everyone enjoyed their first rotation and learned as much as I did. Looking forward to seeing you all the meeting this afternoon.
