I am finding more and more people tell me there is no future for journalism. My philosophy is that although newspapers may be on the downfall, the need for good, news reporting journalists, isn't. As I continue my journey of learning all there is about journalism and technology, I will post here.

O Monday

This is a great article, just sayin.'

Thought I should mention that today I conducted my first podcast interview. Much to my surprise, it was extremely easy! I was worried that I would mess up the recorder, that there was a slight possibility of it exploding and my whole podcast being ruined. Not really. But you get the point, I was nervous.

I checked out the H2 zoom, it was so easy to use. I just googled the most simple way of how to record with it, watched a YouTube video about it right before the interview, and presto, I was a pro. Holding the microphone right up to my interviewee felt really cool, and it was really fun.

I have slowly started editing the recording, but I need to emphasize the word slowly. The whole podcast is due by Friday, so I have some more googling about using GarageBand to do. I have mostly been cutting out the bad stuff and mushing audio together. It's pretty choppy, so I need to work on smoothing it out.
I can't post the interview here, the interviewee does not want me to, and I will respect that. But there is definitely more of this podcasting business to come, don't fret.
