my internship is almost over and again I have failed to really chronicle the adventure. It's been a good summer. I'm really glad I came here.
I think the hardest lesson I have learned is that people are in this business for the wrong reaons. It's amazing considering the less-than-ideal pay and the bad hours that there would still be people who aren't in it for the wrong reasons. I understand people's need to have a good career. After all I'm the same way, but it can go to the extreme sometimes. But Kyle is right, I just have to focus on doing the work and let that speak for itself.
I learned good editing makes a difference. Tim Kelly is right, editing is important. They play a big role in how you improve as a reporter.
Why haven't I chronicled the adventure? I need to post in this more o I can reflect on my writing and what I read and what not.
