Today, was basically an intro into everything and a small glimpse into the life of an actual journalist. The two most fun, interesting and informative parts of today were the informal lecture from Stephanie Brumsey and when we had to find the lede to the story of Red Riding Hood.
Stephanie Brumsey gave us a blunt, yet real glimpse into the life of journalism from her perspective coming from a troubling background and being a woman of color. It gave me hope and an actuality of what I have in store.
The Red Riding Hood lede was fun and hard. I remember many people throwing ledes in the chat of all sorts of scenarios, which I am victim to, as well. Though, it was fun battling through all the headlines we thought were ledes and figuring out how easy and simple it is to create a lede, especially off of a story we all know so well. Lastly, we got into our groups and were immediately beginning off well, with everything figured out.
