So semester two is coming to an end and with that so is the module Online Journalism, hopefully, as long as I pass. When I picked and started this module back in February I had high expectations for what I would learn in the module, and unlike other modules on this course I haven’t been disappointed. I have learnt and developed my online skills no end. Id also heard of things such as Google maps and Twitter, but not until I started using them did I realise what great tings they are and how valuable they are for journalists, especially online journalists.
I’ am currently in the process of writing my final few articles for Birmingham Recycled and my final blog for my portfolio. I hope to improve on my mark for assignment one with assignment two, however to be honest I mark of around the same as assignment one and I will be very happy.
My four articles that I have written in the second part of the semester have been on a website called parkatmyhouse.com, on Volvo and Vattenfall combining to make a brand new electric car. I have also written articles on free solar panels that are available to the residents of Lozells and an article on a more worldwide issue, which is how the meat industry uses more carbon emissions than the whole of the worlds transport. I feel as though I have challenged myself further with these articles than in the first assignment; however I don’t feel the final result of them is as good. I don’t know why this is I just don’t feel as though they are as interesting as my previous articles.
So only one thing left to say, and that is thanks to @paulbradshaw for a well taught easy to understand module and to @kasperbs for a great website to write articles for.
