This blog was specifically made for my writing for the media class. I am currently majoring in communications and plan on becoming a sports broadcaster after college. I think I always knew that I wanted to do something in sports for my career and figured that since I wasn’t a good enough athlete, to become a professional in any sport, getting paid to go and cover games would be the next best thing.
My dream job is to become a broadcaster for the New York Yankees, which is my favorite team though I would probably take a job with any professional team even the teams in Boston, which I cant, really stand. Many times sports broadcasters will write their own copy so I feel that this class can help me do that as well.
In high school, I took classes in journalism and sports writing and did well in those classes as well as thoroughly enjoying them. I feel that this class can help me improve my writing skills which I know aren’t the best in the world, and help me prepare for my future career in the media as well. I don’t believe that I am a good writer when it comes to writing papers and things like that, but I do believe I am pretty good when it comes to writing in the style for journalism and media. I believe that this class can also improve my skills as a journalist in case I become a sports journalist instead.
