In regards to the progress on my final project, I am in the beginnings of the workload. I am not sure who I want and plan to interview yet, but I plan tomorrow to research professors in the different journalism fields that I am interested in such as magazine design, newspaper design and strategic communications. I plan to e-mail them and hope to set up an interview sometime later this week or early next week.
By interviewing the professor of my choosing (or whoever ends up being the most available and relevant to my project), I hope to continue narrowing down in my decision for what journalism sequence I want to pursue, even though I have it narrowed down from the 30+ sequences that exist right now to like 5, but that still doesn't give me any solace towards choosing a career path. I also hope this interview gives me some insight into what it's really like to have a job revolving around journalism.
Some of the questions I plan on asking include the following: What classes did you take in college that helped you get internships? How many internships did you have in college? Where are the best places to get internships? Should I even look for an internship in journalism or just get a general internship? and so on.
Overall, I hope to gain from this interview a better sense of where I truly fit in the journalism world and what steps I can take to make sure my journey from undecided journalism major to full-fledged journalism employee is a smooth and awesome one.
