"New" Media

Why, you may ask yourselves have I waited so long to start up my own blog when it has become apparent that I have such a natural gift for it (sorry - there's that sarcastic humour)! Well, I have to admit that it is actually part of the course I'm studying.

For those lazy bums who have not taken the time to view my profile, I am a fourth year journalism student specialising in New Media (which we have just been learning is not actually new, but merely a remediation of media) Anyway, it has to do with the Internet and I am so excited to be learning and expanding my range of knowledge.

Last year I studied writing and editing and while interesting, was not stimulated, so I decided to give New Media a whirl and after a week of free falling through the introductory lectures I am officially hooked!

So, bottom line - I will be posting a lot of information about New Media as I learn - some of it will be part of my course work and some of it will just be me whinging, whining and procrastinating (which I am not doing now - btw) *looks sheepishly around the room to see if Jude or Brad are watching*

Ciao for now!
