Ok so I guess to start with I’m Laura Merritt, I’m 20 years old (although for now I’m sticking with twen-teen … not ready to let go of my teenage years just yet ha-ha) and I’m currently studying Media and Journalism at Northumbria University.
I’ve been wanting to start a blog for a while now and was finally giving the push I needed as the Re-thinking Journalism module on my course requires you to have a blog and submit 2 posts linked to activism for the assignment.
So, the next few posts on my blog will be for my assignment and activism based, for my blog I haven’t really decided if there’s anything specific I’m going to be writing about but I’ll try my best to keep it interesting lol. I think it’ll mainly be about anything and everything which can only be a good thing, I think anyway.
Everyone always says they have no idea what they’re doing when they first start their blog and to be fair it’s way harder than I thought it was going to be but hopefully I’ll get the hang of it soon and you will enjoy reading my posts.
I don’t really know where I’m going with it yet, but what I do know is that when I tell people I study Media and Journalism and that this is my desired career I always say but I’m going to be a good one.
What I mean is there are so many bad examples of journalism in the world today it’s not hard to see, but the way I see it is why write about something if you don’t think it matters.
so before I waffle on anymore that’s it for now!
