The Switch, Lashanna Pegues

Here at College Park we have a newspaper and blog staffs. Over the past couple of months half of the class worked on the newspaper and the other half worked on the school blog. Newspaper writing does not allow opinion -- it's all about the facts -- but bloggers can be more personal with the reader. It's a completely different way of writing and all the journalists need to adapt to this.

Bloggers write their feelings. Newspaper journalists write the facts. This is what we had to adapt to when we returned from winter. As journalists in the midst of this "switch" we have to come leave our “comfort zone” and write to you in a new way.

Journalism is tough.
