See the news pitch

Thinking on your toes and just figuring it out


After I finished creating my first pitch, I had to figure out how to upload it to my Blogger. I really underestimated what a process this was in itself. With the vast majority of journalism being online, I’m convinced that writers have to have the ability to teach themselves. Personally, I am not familiar with Google Doc or the HTML coding of Blogger. It took me a bit of time, but I finally figured it out. However, the sound wouldn’t play on my PowerPoint. It takes a special mindset and thought process to deal with technological complications that seem to be constantly surfacing. If, for example, I did run my own news site, the news would not stop because I was having technical difficulties. Thinking on your toes and knowing how to manipulate the Internet is key to success. Things don’t always go perfectly, it’s all in how you deal with what’s thrown at you.
