Artifact: RaiderPCMart Story
This was the only story I wrote throughout the course of my internship that got published on the Texas Tech Today Website. I learned a great deal about the writing process of professional news writers and editing from this assignment. In particular, I learned how the routing system is used to edit a piece. The story was subject to editing by four different writers, after each review I made the suggested changes and submitted the revised story to another writer. This process allowed me to learn from the edits of each writer, I learned how to properly reference numbers, identify the speaker of quote, abbreviate names and much more.
More than just learning how to write effectively, this story helped acclimate me to the professional world where your work is under constant scrutiny. I learned to not take this type of scrutiny personally or as a test of my skills or abilities, its purpose is to produce a quality story.
