Lesson 07.00

              Before I started this course my perception of journalism was quite different from what it is now. At first i believed that journalism was a forma entertainment. I thought that all journalist were writers. I knew that journalist had the right of freedom of speech. I had no clue that there was both opinion writing and writing with facts. I was not interested in a career in journalism before this course because I know im not a strong writer and I dislike doing research.
             My perception of journalism has changed a lot. I learned that journalism was not only for entertainment but to also to get important information to a mass number of people. I learned That there was Journalism with facts and journalism with opinion. I still am not interested in a career in journalism simply because it does not interest me. The future of journalism is bright.

Getting an Education

Milestone- Have my own magazine

To get to the point of owning my own magazine i would have to go to college and start as a regular photojournalist for a company. After a while i will start to make connections with people which would help me get a magazine. The education i need for this milestone is a bachelors degree in journalism and minor in photography. The steps that i can start taking now is start researching what it takes to have a magazine and finding the right people to help me with it. The amount of time i think it will take me to have my own successful magazine is about 8-10 years after college.

I believe that i have set reasonable goals for myself, they are not outlandish or to far stretched. To write a career plan it makes realize the actual process, and the amount of work that i would have to put in. some people might engage in this type of activity because its their passion and may have always been there dream.

Your Interest Inventory

The position I'm most interested in is a photojournalist. Photojournalism is a particular form of journalism (the collecting, editing, and presenting of news material for publication or broadcast) that creates images in order to tell a news story.

The skills needed are a keen eye, a way with words, and a knack for putting the two together. You must have a steady hand, when holding a camera. The education requirement is at least a bachelors degree in photography. technical experience and a portfolio is required.

revised draft

Fashionable Teens and young adults across America have made wearing sneakers into a movement, and have influenced the creation of the sneaker culture. These people are considered to be "sneakerheads".

Originally Collecting sneakers started in the mid 1980's when Nike and Michael Jordan collaborated. Consumers love the team up with the two and kept the sneaker shelves empty. Eventually hip hop artist like RUN DMC started to wear sneakers and the demand for sneakers increased even more. As the years passed more basketball players started to get endorsed by sneaker companies such as Nike, Adidas, and Reebok.

Because teens looked up to these basketball players and hip hop artist they found a way to look somewhat like them, which was sneakers. The sneaker companies took way of this and they started to release exclusive colorways of certain sneakers. These exclusive colorways would be released in limited numbers sometimes as low as 100 pairs throughout the world. When the sneakers are released in these low numbers the buyers feel like they have to be the first to have them so they have what the call a camp out. When the "sneakerheads" camp out for a sneaker they sit outside of the store and wait until the shoe is released. Sometimes campouts can last for a few hours, but some can last for weeks. An example of this when the Titanium Air Jordan XX3 shoes were releasing, They were set to be sold in 23 stores throughout the country and each store only had 23 pairs some of those stores were reported to have buyers camping out for as long as two weeks.

Some sneaker collectors make money off of there collection by buying and reselling sneakers. others say that they could never sell their sneakers because they love them to much. These collectors all collect in different ways and for different reasons and but one thing that is the same with them all is that they all love their sneakers.
