When it comes to internships in the field of journalism, I never know what I'm doing. My first inclination is to be persistent. I want to call these people every ten minutes to tell them why I'm the one for them. It is a pretty ambitious move, considering I'm a reporter who prides herself on being the least ambitious reporter in the Daily Lobo newsroom. This is what has been consuming my thoughts over the last few weeks, or at least it was.
Now it is focused on a series of articles we are working on for the caucus, student council issues amongst graduate students and miscellaneous stories we find about zip cars and movies. The day never seems long enough when you are a reporter. There is always someone to call and someone who doesn't want to talk to you.

I think your perspective is valuable.
The dAY doesn't seem long enough, I can agree.
What's your opinion on young children comsuming this new generation of news?
Yikes....Do you mean consuming the content and having the availability to it or consuming the different mediums that distribute it?
I would say that today's generation of 12 year olds are far different from my generation 10 years ago. The internet was not very prevalent in society, few kids even knew what it was. I didn't even get a cell phone until I was about 17.
Kids today have access, without even trying, to so many things that effect how fast they grow up and how influenced they are by today's society which tends to be over-sexed among other things.
I think children consuming media which promotes the facets of our society that could be too mature for them to handle is bad. It takes away the beauty of a childhood, that people my age and yours were barely capable of having.
I hope I answered your question.
