E-communication Goals for 2014-2015 School Year

As convergence journalism students, we have a lot of responsibility.  It is our job to share the news and happenings of ONW to help kids be in the know of what is going on at the school.  Our show is viewed by the entire school, which means every single student and teacher sees our work. 

As a class we need to make sure that e-comm and ONW Now is something that we can take pride in as well as the rest of the student body.  There is a lot of pressure riding on us, but I hope that we can improve our shows every week and not waste our time in class.  My goal is that as the year goes on we can learn what makes a solid package and what the student body likes to see.  I want ONW Now's quality to improve by having more professional anchors, quality packages, and interesting stories.

My goal individually this year is to cover what normally isn't covered.  We have several groups and clubs at ONW that feel they get no recognition.  I would like to change that.  There are hundreds of stories at ONW that if I just search a little longer I could find.  I hope that I don't always choose the easiest story route, but rather challenge myself with a more unique story requiring a new angle.

Since this is my second year in Convergence Journalism, my goal is to be a leader in this class for the Juniors.  I hope that I can help them improve and show them the ropes of this class.  I also hope to set the tone for this class in a more serious way than last year.  I think that if we take this class more seriously, people will take ONW Now more seriously.  

I think this year as a Convergence Journalism strand we can produce great and new things.
