First News Blog

I never actually thought I would be blogging, but as a journalism student, it seems like a necessary tool. (And a little confusing at times too!). But, my journalism class has been going pretty smooth, with the main struggles being finding an effective story in a smaller town like Durham, and also writing strong leads. Most of my leads are inspired by the kind of alternate story leads often found in the New York Times. My story for next week may focus on covering a writier's series event featuring a Random House editor at UNH.
