It wasn’t just the blog, but the fact that the student was entrepreneurial and dedicated.
In the end, the blog honed a lot of my online skills and was an excellent precursor to the professional world. Additionally, because I was covering the very school I was attending, the blog served as a bridge from my academic life to the outside world.
I found that as a student, I had access to a lot of information a regular beat reporter/blogger never would — campus events, internal e-mails, and good old word of mouth. UMass Journalism Professor’s Blog
