Exploring the E.O.

One idea I really found interesting while I was at the E.O. was if not everyone helps with articles for the newspaper then it makes it harder to be able to fill and print on time.At the beginning of the day the paper starts completely blank.

What was really courageous was how the photographer said that it is hard to take pictures of tragic events. If I did want to be a photographer, I would have to have enough courage to take pictures of things that are not always pleasant.

I thought it was crazy when I asked how many articles that they individually have to put into the newspaper in a week and they said 7-10. I thought wow because you have to come up with that many different ideas to talk about. I guess it would be easier if you had a wide range of topics to write about. When we went into the press room there were so many rolls of papers and lots of different machines.The reporters all taught us that we have to be able to deal with negative feedback. The photographer said that when he's at work it doesn't really feel like he is working he's just getting paid to do what he loves. At the E.O. I learned that in every job you're not going to love everything about it ,but as long as you love what you're doing keep doing it.
