written by:stacia_doss. Today's journalists aren't what they used to be. To be successful in the area of print/broadcast, it is recommended for one to be well rounded in the profession in more areas than just writing. In short, he or she needs to be prepared to not only write, but also record video, audio, and even take photographs on their own.
I am a senior internet journalism major and I'm not so sure if I, myself, am prepared. I hadn't heard of this whole "backpack journalist" concept probably until the end of my sophomore/ beginning of my junior year and I'm starting to wonder...can I handle it?
The above photo is a small bit of what is supposed to be in my backpack.
The fairly new concentration of "internet journalism" at my college is not the most popular among students. However, I decided upon choosing it just for that reason. I sought to expand and enhance my skills in areas other than just writing. With graduation being less than seven months away, I am questioning whether or not I will be prepared when the May date comes around.
