About
This is a blog for people. It's for writers and journalists, but also for readers and audiences. It's for people who care about the way that the news industry is changing and what that means for the way we transmit and receive information.
I'll be writing with the perspective of a millennial college student with her feet already in the journalism industry. My experience started in collegiate newspapers and communications internships at the University of Chicago, not too far away from where I grew up reading Chicago's biggest newspapers each day before school. My background has since expanded to include traditional news organizations like a major metro paper as well as recent major players in the digital news arena such as Snapchat.
Why am I doing this? I want to thoughtfully and passionately study this industry and help others understand the significance of these changes as well. In doing this, I plan on focusing on the perspectives of others both in and out of the news industry and building a resource of journalism research, media criticism, and solutions or success stories of the industry. Some of the information collected here has been used as research in my B.A. thesis this past fall. I'd love to hear and share your thoughts on journalism or this site: [email protected].
Yours,
Christine Schmidt
