I would like to say that this class has been very interesting. I have learned so much about journalism, thanks to Professor Nancy Hanus. I didn’t know there was so many parts to multimedia journalism. I learned how to blog which was interesting because I’m not a blogger or a reader of blogs. I am active on social media and all of its various platforms. As a class, we had excellent discussions on various social topics and news reporting.
This semester, our primary focus was Data Journalism. We had to select a school district within the area and collect various data points, look at trends and graphs. We collected data from https://www.mischooldata.org/ and various other sources. My school district was Wayne-Westland Community School District. My timeline displays my process of collecting information about my district, but also includes things I learned from that project. I also learned how to conduct an interview. Overall, this was a fun class, and I learned a lot.
