Journalism Lessons

It's an understatement to say I've learned a lot during my short time at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Not to mention that getting to cover spring training is kind of swell (even more of an understatement). But some of the most important things I've learned are things I've picked up myself outside of the classroom and actually shooting, writing, interviewing, editing - all that practical stuff. I realized early on that these were things that needed to be written down somewhere and preserved for the future. Some are universal, while some are tailored more to myself. As I come up with more in the future, they'll each get their own post and be put into the master list in this post. So without further ado, I give you Sean's Journalism Lessons:

Hot off the Cuff

You might've noticed I've been a little lax about updating this blog lately. And I regrettably have been. Call it a function of not having enough time to write down the lengthy posts for ideas that I've had. Maybe I'll just pop on more often with shorter things and see how that works. Either way, the reason I'm writing today is shameless self-promotion. A couple of friends and I have started a radio show on ASU's campus radio station (cleverly titled The Blaze, in keeping somewhat with the Sun Devils motif) called Hot off the Cuff, which airs live every Friday from 11 AM to noon. There's no archived section on the station's website for our show, so I've taken to simply archiving them myself. Because I'm recording them with a handheld recorder in the studio, the soundbites unfortunately don't come through. But all the important stuff is there, and if you're so inclined, check out our first two shows from last week and today. And while you're at it, follow us on Twitter @hotoffthecuff.
