  • I don't know what the official rules here are about posting external links, but figured its not hard to take down if I need to.

    I'm a JEM student at UTK and I have done work for the Tennessee Journalist and Knoxville News Sentinel.

    For my final sports reporting class we had to do a blog assignment and I wanted to share it with you guys.

    Feel free to rip or praise it:

    Nicely done. Now get back out there and report that breaking news story!

    Sorry, forgot I'm not an editor anymore. Actually, most editors wouldn't have said "nicely done," but you probably know that already.

    Keep working to get more clips. That's the ticket to a good job.

    That's for sure. I graduate next month and don't have anything lined up yet - not for lack of looking either just because lack of jobs.

    It's a tough job market out there. Wes and I are fortunate to be where we are, and we know that. There are plenty of talented writers and reporters out there who can't find jobs or are working in jobs that, quite frankly, are a bit below their skill levels just because it's such a tough job market in this industry right now.

    Hang in there, keep working hard and continue to develop your skills. You'll get there.
