Reading the Paper

The only time I actually read the newspaper that I work at is when I have to look for someone for an obit, story, or someone that graduated a really long time ago.

knowledge is power

It is great, unlike many of the internships that I and Anthony had the choice of, the Tracy Press is actually helpful. We are learning so much and by the end of this I will be a great writer. I am already getting so much better.

Richard is right once again. I usually pay attention to small details, but now it has become a useful skill. Funny how things work out in your advantage. I just wish that sort of thing happened all the time.

rule of photography

I've noticed by what Anthony has done that a big part of photography is paying attention to the random things that go on. I found it interesting.

The three rules in journalism are accuracy, balance, clarity and completeness.

I think that it is pretty difficult to take pictures when people like to pose. Yearbook pictures are not wanted what so ever at the Tracy Press. They want candid shots. Its hard to take candid shots when it is obvious when you are the one with the camera. I get scolded all the time for this. I should try standing really far away and look as inconspicuous as possible. Yeah, I think I just figured it out!
