reflection1 This semester I learned what it means to be a leader. Becoming an editor this semester has helped me immensely to become a better leader. This is a very important skill to have especially as I move forward in my life and being a leader is something I will be able to use in all my future endeavors.

Deadlines have been one of the hardest things for me in the past, but I have definitely improved on meeting them as the semester has gone on. Deadlines are one of the most important things in newspaper because if you miss one deadline it creates a setback for editors. When editors have to start putting together their pages and don’t have everything because somebody misses a deadline it is very frustrating. Next semester I just want to keep making sure I get all my articles and work done to meet my deadlines so I can focus on putting my page together. Teamwork is another huge aspect of this class if we didn’t work together and communicate we wouldn’t get anything done. I think that I woked well with others an have been communicating a lot more since not only last year but jus in the past couple of months.

Having journalism ethics is of major importance in journalism. The newspaper is here to report the fact and truth of what is going on in each story. Plagiarizing is probably one of the worst things a writer could do in journalism, and one of the most important things in journalism is to stay unbias as well as truthful.

I believe I was an asset this semester because I work hard. I may be bad with deadlines sometimes, but I always get what I need to done and I am always willing to help others with whatever they need. I think this has been one of my best semesters in newspaper so far I love being an editor and I continue to grow everyday because of it.

I am a very dedicated person and I hope that has showed throughout the work I have done this semester.

This semester I faced some hardships mainly with just getting my work done. I created a lot of stress for myself by procrastinating but as I figured this out I started to push myself to get things done sooner. My greatest weakness is the fact that I procrastinate, but to overcome this I have continued to push myself and stay more organized so I make sure I get everything I need to done. Next semester I am gong to work even harder and make sure that I meet my deadlines and make sure all my work is the best it can be.

I believe ths is some of my best work because I was able to enjoy wrtting it mainly because of the topic. I really ike fashion and the different trends that occur each season. It is really cool to see how it changes so often. I enjoy seeing what the new styles as well as trends are said to be and if they actually happen during the season or not. So it was interesting and fun to write about what the fall fashion trends for this year were going to be.

This article was pretty easy to write but there where some difficulties with finding reliable and consistent imformation. This pieece of work definitly evolved from the first draft to final. I added a lot more information into it because it was going to be the main article for a page. This piece needed a lot more research than people would think an article like this would need. I had to look up trends and then do research on the trends themselves. Although I had to do a lot of research I actually enjoyed writing this article.

I am really proud of this piece because it was really difficult to find all the information I needed as well as finding people to interview.

But I think this turned out to be one of my best pieces of work yet.

This was a very interesting article and although difficult I can say I am happy that I got to write an article like this one.

I am proud of this article because I enjoyed writing about this tpic. I can personally relate to it because I swtched to an all natural hair product. So, I was able to see the differences myself and share that with others. It was pretty easy to find the information for this article which was also very helpful. I feel like the information I found was reliale and interesting and the article was able to keep the readers attention.

This article was very difficult to write and that is why I am so proud of it. This piece turned out good in the end but it was definitly a rough one. This article didnt have a lot of extra information I could add to make it more indepth and interesting. But I think overall this article ended up being a good well rounded article.
