Hey guyz!
So far, my sources have yet to respond to me….or they’re just ignoring me. I’m feeling a little like this poor being:
Sad.
Anywho, I plan on contacting some other potential sources but thought I would ask for some tips from my fellow classmates first. My project’s quest is to provide the journalists’ point of view on the risks that come along with the profession. Background knowledge I’m hoping to acquire consists of journalistic ethics in local and foreign reporting, a definition of journalism this day in age, and its inherent risks. I know several student reporters but thought that interviewing people who have actually reported abroad may provide insight I, as a student reporter, obviously lack. If anyone knows of someone who has attended school for journalism specifically or has adequate experience in the professional “real world,” it would be appreciated beaucoup.
So…calling all:
- reporters/ journalists in general (obvi)
- even online journalists/ bloggers
- graduate students studying journalism
- professors who have been foreign correspondents/ journalists
- people familiar with the basics of journalistic ethics
Just throwing this out there— suggestions more than welcome! Thanks!
Some journalist from NPR international thingy is in my AOSS course on climate change solutions! He has a fellowship for journalists to go back to college or something. He would probably have some thoughts! I have only spoken to him once but I could ask him for you! Especially if Ray would be willing to give me points for it lolololjkjkjk(reallythough)
I’m creeping on journalist guy’s bio right now and apparently he’s traveled a lot to report from different countries. Seriously I will hit him up if you ask me to! Or you can, I don’t own him!
AH!!! I would love to contact him! Could you message me his name?? Or tell me in class?? And seriously though…..rack up those points!!
Wait I didn’t see this until now, I thought wordpress emailed you if you got a comment response? Would you still want to talk with him? I will ask him in class on Thursday if ya want talk to me in class 🙂
If you haven’t already, you should try reaching out the the MACS people! There’s a lot of journalist there. Or look at the 400 level COMM classes and there are some journalism focused classes you could reach out to.
