Hey there.
Good Friday, everyone! The name's Jamie Elkington, and I'm majoring in communication with a minor in journalism. A bit of background: I'm not a traditional student as I also work for a small PR firm in Memphis writing press releases and pitching client stories to area tv and radio broadcasters. I transferred to the University of Memphis after a brief stint studying biology at CBU and decided science wasn't my strong suit. I've since dabbled in business studies and journalism, but found communication classes to be much more interesting. So, here I am! I tend to use the Internet for the majority of my communication with friends, family and colleagues, which led me to take this class. I'm excited to get to know all of you! It seems like the crowd is getting more diverse by the post.

Hi Jamie--welcome to the major and to the class!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteWow! Journalism, huh? I think when you are a pro in journalism, you are a great writer, or headed to be one. It all begin in writing class, when all your ambition is put to great task to find out your strengths and weaknesses.
ReplyDeleteAfter the writing task is mastered, communication comes into effect. Communication allow us to persue our desires of the world. Once we set our goals in life, the only thing we have to do is to complete our destiny.
