Alfred Hermida describes the evolution of Journalism going from an institute based field to an individual based field. With the world wide web providing the means for people to express their opinions through blogs and web sites, an individual can by his or herself gain a reputation as a journalist. One does not have to get hired by a newspaper company to start writing and develop a reputation.
I agree with Alfred that buying your domain name on the internet and starting to create your own personal brand is important. In order for you to get your name out there and introduce yourself to the world, it would be helpful to buy your domain name and start a web page. It's important that the writer is knowledgeable and credible but at the same time uses his or hers' own unique style.
I thought it clever that the UBC graduate school has it's students take not only journalism courses, but elective courses that reflet their interests. This allows them to really develop their own personal identity and learn about a lot of different things, making them more capable of writing on numerous subjects.
Original Superman
Edited Superman
I used opacity, the eraser, and the clone stamp to add the red cape. I used the black and white function to make the cape stick out.
Rotten Apple
Good Apple
Here I used the clone stamp feature to fix the rotting part of the apple. I turned down the saturation to make the picutre less yellow. I used the paint brush to write "good apple" on the board and I used the lasso and paint bucket to change the color of the shadow.
