MCOM 258

Hello new and previous classmates!

My name is Lauren Slavin and I am a sophomore pre-mass communications major at Towson University.

I'm also the arts editor of The Towerlight and am on the search for new arts writers! If you are interested in an awesome way to hone your journalism skills in the areas of feature writing or arts writing, please contact me!

I'm excited about the multimedia skills we will be developing this semester in Journalism and New Media II. I went to a college journalism college last spring and what all the experts and journalists we talked with said the type of journalism taking over is something called "one man band," where a reporter is responsible for writing, retrieving audio, taking photos and video for their stories and putting it all together in a package.

I'm not the best photographer or videographer, so I hope to learn some tips on making this part of my "one man band" transition easier.
