After finally navigating my way through the depths of the Forgan Smith Building and walking into an almost full theatre of JOUR1111 students, we soon began our introductory lecture for Introduction to Journalism and Communication. It was quite interesting as I was not sure what to expect to gain from this course or what the atmosphere would be like. After being shown the course outline and after being introduced to the Course Co-ordinator/Lecturer Dr Bruce Redmen and the three Tutors Ms Carmel Rooney, Miss Marie M’Balla-Ndi and Miss Ali Rae I began to think that this will prove to be a very engaging and entertaining class.
The assessment items appear interesting, especially having to maintain a blog over the period of fourteen weeks. Would never have imagined I would ever have to be part of the blogging community but this is an unavoidable challenge that I just have to accept and enjoy.
I never really was passionate about Journalism, however I saw this course as a great opportunity to try something different and broaden my horizons. There was a main part of this lecture that stood out to me and this was when we were shown a hand full of quotes by various people. The quote by Henry R. Luce seemed to evoke a sense that this was a potentially rewarding path to take when he stated "I became a journalist to come as close as possible to the heart of the world." I'm really looking forward to seeing if in fourteen weeks time what my opinion on Introduction to Journalism and Communication will be.
