Going into MCJ 102 I wasn't sure what to expect. I thought I knew how to write, and much to my surprise, I did, I just didn't know all the rules for each different outlet. Media writing, as turned out to be a multi-faceted, overlapping, convergence of several media outlet styles of writing, all of which are helpful to know.
Print news can be long and somewhat exhausting. Writing in upside down pyramid style was something to get used to, but learning to communicate clearly and simply was probably the best thing I learned.
And really that's what it comes down to; clear communication. Whether I'm writing print, advertisements, PR, broadcast or any other form of writing, clear concise communication is the most important thing we need to know. And for that I am grateful.
