I’m starting this blog as a class assignment, but this does not, however, imply that I don’t want to be here or to have much to do with it.  I’ll be sharing here things about mass communication that intrigue me and the work I’m proudest of as I’m introduced to methods of mass communication and become familiar with using different media to communicate a variety of different stories and notions.  My hope, really, is that this blog gives me something solid to work with to examine my own thoughts about what I’ve learned and to observe how I’m applying what I’ve been taught.  I would definitely appreciate any constructive criticism and encouragement that anyone has to offer, too.  Any other way this blog helps with growth in this field is just awesome.  Wish me luck!  It’s an adventure!
