I am a journalism student at the University of North Florida. As a journalist in this day and age, we have to come up with new and creative ways to utlize social media. Gone are the days where journalists just wrote for the enwspaper. now we have to be on the cutting edge of what the consumer wants. That is why I am interested in 43 Things. I want to learn how to use this site as a journalist. I want to figure out the best ways to use 43 Things to benefit my reporting, whether it is a nw means of getting a story out there or a new way to gather information. I am interested in seeing what new and exciting ways 43 Things can help me achieve this.
