During my J500 Media and the Environment class we learned a lot about urban farming.
We each were assigned a farmer to create a blog about and we also had to help on a podcast.
Talking with Ericka Wright about her farm, the Troostwood Youth Garden showed me that urban farming was all about adaptation. Her neighborhood has very little fresh food around and a lot of youth. She decided to start a garden in her own yard to feed her community and help educate the kids.
This is what journalism needs to do.
Adapt. Find new ways to present information. Become better at everything.
For a while I just considered myself a photographer. Then after working at the Kansan I considered myself a photojournalist. Now after learning about blogging, copy editing, video editing, dreamweaver, fireworks and podcasts I have the confidence to say that I am a journalist and I am proud.
I am the future of journalism. Adaptation and learning a little bit of everything
