WRITING CULTURE 2012: Film, Food & Beyond

Five of us have grown up as individual writers. We also gathered together to talk about things like film, food, music and journeys.

It was a great experience taking this JRN3450.

Alec Yin – I know now how to take that first step to getting my views out there, and I can’t wait to get started. Hopefully this will only be beginning.

Rumi –  I am super excited to launch my blog. To me this is a great achievement not only because of creating a new blog, but also learning how to manage it. Also, throughout the semester I had amazing time with this Journalistic Blogging class. I will miss the class.
Satbyul Eunice Hwang – I seriously learned so many things from this blogging class. I felt excited by writing about food, film and Sandy coverage.

Emily Bufferd – I now have a blog that reads in my voice… hopefully people will read it.  This class helped me hone in on my voice.

Kayonne Johnson– I’ve learned that I do have my own distinct voice, even though it is still in the process of development. I am learning to hone my craft and have the chutzpah to demand more from myself.

Well this is it! Time for JITZY to hang up the blog and call it a day. These passed couple of months doing this blog have been very eye opening and a lot of fun. We learned new things about each other and our cultures and even though we won’t be here, our experiences and our memories of this will always linger. Having the opportunity to have this blog with other people was great. We’ve all found out new things about ourselves on the way and we’ve all become better people along the way. We’ve become a voice for the people to inform them about New York City culture. We’ve become great friends that have learned much about each other’s traditions and lifestyles. We’ve become bloggers and we even though we won’t be around to do this blog anymore, rest assured we will each return individual and provide our own voices in the future and take every we’ve learned from this and become even better.

This is JITZY, signing off. Adios!

This class has given us the knowledge to pursue blogging in a serious capacity. We’ve learned how to incorporate multimedia into our personal blog posts using different platforms such as flickr, youtube and dropbox. We’ve explored the ethics concerning blogging and the importance of citing sources and reporting accurately. In this class we have also found our individual voices and learned to stay true to them while staying true to the facts. We hope to use the skills that we have gained here to communicate effectively and professionally on social platforms. THANK YOU PROFESSOR DAVIS!
