I’m beginning to use this Tumblr to follow fellow student journos and professionals. There’s so much information on this website from people throughout the world— it would be a shame to only limit myself to gathering news on Twitter and Facebook.

What I love most is that there is a sense of freedom on Tumblr for personal expression. Just searching the tag #journalism opens a world of discussion where students, like myself, are writing of their struggles to become better in their craft. They wonder if they’re going in the right direction. They torment over whether they’re doing enough while in college. I often feel that way. My schedule is stretched more thinly than ever, yet I feel like I should be doing more.

This industry is huge, yet it is so small at the same time. It’s wonderful to know that I’m not alone in this fast-changing field. Journalism is not for the faint of heart, but it’s easier when you have a solid support system of people that you can relate with.
