Today we began learning the major ins and outs of just what journalism is: how it should be defined and the true level of importance it holds in today’s world. The mentors brought several accredited speakers from the local journalism sphere to give several lectures, all of which were very interesting! Journalism was given a greater priority in terms of what was talked about. We learned a lot! I also got the chance to interview Arizona Daily Star reporter Carmen Duarte, who was really sweet and inspirational in the story she gave. Then, we began contacting sources for interviews, which, while somewhat unnerving, was really exciting. I hope we can get a great story (as Kenzel is working with a very similar topic).
