J-School Blog?

<p>What's up all.</p>

<p>After going through a slew of interviews and class-sit ins, along with talking to students and advisors...I was thinking strongly of documenting the process of getting into J-school and also what life is like during that time. I think it would be beneficial for people who are in the same position as I am now and was in planning this whole ordeal out. I can cover my admissions/rejections, decision making, financial aid leveraging...and then I was thinking of a twitter perhaps to give a glimpse into the busy life of a J-schooler.</p>

<p>So...does this seem like something that would have interested you before you got into your respective schools? I feel like I would really have wanted to see something like this, if only to know better what things are like at various J-schools. Let me know what you think, as well as any suggestions of what you'd want to see/hear about.</p>

<p>I happen to think it's common sense that a journalism student in this century keep a blog.</p>

<p>I plan to do a blog of my studies and student life when I go back to graduate school.</p>

<p>Chem09...I don't know if it's common sense to tell you the truth. I'm doing broadcast journalism...not to mention, I'll be spending most waking hours shooting and editing my work. A blog is just more work on top of all that anyway. I'm trying to gauge if it's worth the time investment, as I don't want to half-ass things.</p>

<p>Yes, you must treat a blog like a part-time job. I do blogging, and it takes a lot of work (over several months) to finally create something artistic and publishable.</p>
