An interesting class that will save my ass
So, I'm sitting in i210, staring up at a lady who calls herself a "Cybrarian".
Jenn Hoffarth introduced me to a world of searching. She introduced me to a world of words that I can use to find the information that I need. She taught me new ways to which I can use the internet to my advantage.
For example; picture this, you're sitting at your desk, holding your head up with your sweaty palms, while you listen to the lock slowly tick away the hours of the day, as the deadline slowly looms over you. I picture myself sitting in front of a computer, with many windows open across the bottom toolbar. I picture myself having a sore ear from all the phoning I'v'e been doing all day. I'm tired of searching for the right person, to help me find the right person. I'm tired of aimlessly going nowhere, for a story that has the potential to be on the front page.
I think with the way that Jenn taught us how to search, and how to use the internet to find...well...damn near anything, a lot of the stress and heartache that goes along with Journalism, will be easily cut down. Finding a source for a story, as well as their address, and their phone number is easily done. I can see myself using this knowledge, as a tool for success.
