Frakes

This past week was a pretty interesting one. Learned a little more about Photoshop, which is always useful, but more interesting was having Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Bill Frakes speak in class. What he does is really inspiring to be honest. To see everything he can do, putting out all kinds of material, video packages, still photos, music videos, printed stories, heartfelt pieces, sports pieces, it really showed what a journalist can do. It shows the optimum potential for a journalist. It also shows the new era of journalism, in which journalism is not just the printed story, but everything that goes along with that: the video, still photos and the like. It really made me want to be a journalist if nothing else. It made be wish I was graduated and could do the kind of things he did, but there's a whole lot of learning to do before that point, unfortunately.
