For our final lecture for this subject we had a guest lecturer, Steve Molk.
Steve Molk graduated from University as a Chemist, but recently had a mid-life crisis and decided to become a television journalist.
Steve talked about the idea that blogging is becoming more and more important to how get our information out.
This topic was very interesting, especially because a large part of our own assessment is to blog.
He also discussed the fact that in Australia, unlike countries like China we have the freedom to talk about whatever we want. That we are also able to read whatever we want from blogs and other social networks. We should be taking full advantage of this privilege.
Steve was a very inspiring speaker, especially when he was discussing how we as the students have the ability to do quite literally anything with this degree. Steve for example, who actually doesn't have a degree in Journalism, but who started from scratch is a television journalist.
When speaking about his passion for TV journalism, it amazed me. Quite possibly because I personally have never actually heard of television journalism.
Steve didn't talk for very long but it gave me the opportunity to realise how fortunate we are to live in this country to have the opportunities we do.
From here I can quite literally do whatever I want, whenever I want.
I would also like to take this opportunity to say how much I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. It has not only given me so many ideas about what I want to do with my life but it has also increased my general knowledge that much more.
