The Realization of Multimedia

Over this weekend, I was given the opportunity to travel down to Wilson, North Carolina for the Biannual Society of Collegiate Journalists Convention. During the trip I was lucky enough to be able to meet the multimedia and new media director of The Wilson Daily Times. In meeting him, I realized this is the exact career path I would like to travel, new media journalism. Today, new media journalism is just starting to get off the grounds. It is becoming more vital than ever to become a triple threat in journalism. Having the background and skills not only in writing, but also in video and audio has become more important than ever. I being the over-achiever that I am, am willing to do whatever it takes to become the best new media journalist already holding the skills in video, audio, and writing. My visit to the Wilson Daily Times made me realize just how bad I want it. The realization of multimedia is all around. It has become strong and I am now on the search to land the perfect multimedia internship throughout this upcoming year.
