Though I’ve only been in the Twin Cities since September, Johnny Cash’s “I‘ve Been Everywhere” officially serves as the theme song for March’s issue.

August 2, 2012, the last day of camp.

Today started out with everyone going right to work on his or her stories. Gino Terrell, a fellow camper, wasn’t present for the second day in a row.

Coming into class from the weekend we all were a little bit slow starting out.

There are numerous aspects of journalism. Thanks to the technology that we have access to, video journalism is possible.

Today I took pictures for another camper, Simone, while she did her interview for the story she’s working on.

Today I not only realized that a picture is worth a million a words, I created a picture that was worth a million words.

The day started off with Mike O’Donnell teaching photography.

Yesterday, the fifth day of camp, we started writing using the interviews about ourselves. Later Shane Kitzman, a sports reporter from WCCO came. It was super cool.

Over the weekend we were assigned to interview 3 people and have them talk about us as an overall individual; what kind of people we are, what we do best, what we need to work on, etc.

Yesterday was a great day. Annie Nelson, the ThreeSixty Journalism youth publications editor came in and gave us a lesson on interviewing sources and getting useful quotes.

Yesterday was the third day of camp, and we examined the process of interviewing.

The process of collecting information for an article has become easier in the last several decades due to the Internet.

The first day of ThreeSixty Journalism’s beginner’s camp was not like any other: it was nerve-wracking, especially being introduced to a style of writing I had never done before.

Well hey guys!

I have enjoyed meeting everyone. The last two weeks have been filled with excitement, stress and tiredness, but it was all worth it because I have learned a lot.
