Sports Reporting Class: October 4, 2011
Quote for the Day: Take a guess who said these …
“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.”
“Breathe. Let go. And remind yourself that this very moment is the only one you know you have for sure.”
Attendance: Reminder of attendance policy.
Assignments:
For tonight: Article critique #3
For next week: Article #2 is due
Class topics for tonight:
--Guest speaker: Sports Information Director Mike Ferraro will be coming to class. He will discuss various topics regarding his job, the state of journalism, etc. PLEASE NOTE WELL: Be prepared to join the discussion, ask questions, take notes, etc.
