The Spectrum

Wow it’s over now, it’s been a really long 10 days. I learned ALOT. Even though I’m on my school newspaper, this workshop definitely immersed me more into the field with harder deadlines, a difficult story idea to work with, and hearing the “journalism stories” of real pros. I can honestly say I’ll miss it. [...]

It’s hard to explain how I’m feeling right now. I thought I wouldn’t feel sad about UJW ending, but I will really miss coming to 20 Cooper Square every day.
There have been so many rewarding aspects of this program, so I’ll only narrow it down to one: the people.
The journalists I met taught me to [...]

These past 10 days have really flown by. Over the course of the workshop my eyes were really opened to the world of journalism. With nothing back home like UJW to provide me with opportunities in this field, I really appreciate this experience. Before the workshop, I had no idea what journalism was even about, [...]

So Every Good Thing Comes To An End and it seems as if today is the ending, Yet it starts a new beginning. I met some good people in this program and i think we all grew close because we had something in common, the dream or thought of becomming a journalist. We all grew [...]

Now that it’s ending, I don’t want it to end at all. I’ll miss waking up to come here, work, get free food, and live life with great students, and an awesome professor/friend/mother. I would first like to thank Professor Yvonne Latty for even looking at my application and giving me a chance in this [...]

Today we graduate from UJW.  It definitely has been not only a great experience but also a fun one.  I have learned so much about myself and about journalism.  I came into this program to see if journalism was the right thing for me.  Now I leave having a better sense of journalism and a [...]

WOW! It’s finally over. After so many days of wishing that I’d have less work to do, I now wish that I could do it over. Somehow I only seem to remember the good parts. I was sad to learn that this was the last year that Prof. Latty would be doing the Urban Journalism [...]

A lot of books say “The End” on the very last page, but I’ve only seen one book, Pride and Prejudice, with an ending that said “Finis”. It has a nice ring to it and sounds more unique, so I’ve put it as the title. UJW has been an amazing experience and I’m really sad [...]

The day has arrived. The 10 tedious days of the 2010 Urban Journalism Workshop are finally over. I’m glad I applied to the program, and more so, I’m glad I got accepted. I witnessed new types of writing, journalistic writing specifically, learned the basics of journalism, diction and what not, and learned some new life [...]

Today everyone in the program is graduating! We all had fun and I’m going to miss these people so much. We all have each other on facebook and I’m sure we’re going to keep in touch.
I learned a lot form this program and I know that I’m going to take a lot away from this [...]
