I’ve wrote almost every day for the past 10 years, yet somehow, I had no idea what to write when a teacher for a new unit at uni recommended I start a blog.
You see, for the past 10 years I have been writing about the news- the cold, hard facts (and occasional colourful fun)- about what’s happening in the communities I have had the privilege of reporting on. My opinions haven’t been important. Rather, fairness, balance and accuracy ,and keeping the community in the know have been the end game.
So what do I write about when I don’t have a story to report? I thought about this for a few days before it came to me. Clearly I should write about what I know best- my life. So here it is: my blog on life as a journalist, a student and mother; my blog about the ups and downs of juggling all three roles at the same; my blog about the news I come across that leaves its impact on my life; and my blog about the trials and tribulations of trying to navigate unfamiliar social media (such as blogging and Twitter).
Hope it provides you with some interesting reading!
