-How I plan to include diversity in my media work-

I plan to incorporate diversity in my media work by looking for story ideas to do on a diverse topic. I also plan to do 'streeter's, and while doing them interview all diverse groups of people, and try and include everyone.
I don't find that it is difficult to incorporate diversity in your reports and stories, because there are lots of diverse people everywhere.
So far I feel I have been diverse in what I have done.. however there is no such thing as too much diversity!

No Strike?

Well,

Sorry for the late response.. it has been caused by technical difficulties as well as the entire school year taking a 360 degree turn around!
People definetly did not expect a deal to be reached about the strike. All of the sudden, a day before.. and boom. A deal.
I can't lie, I definetly would not have cried to administration if we had gotten a couple days off. However, the strike was estimated to last a lot longer then that, had it happened.
We are just getting ready to rehearse Waterfront Weekly this week... Putting the show together is always stressful and frusterating. It feels so good to have your report done, and edited.. but then its back to the grind next week - again.
I feel I work well under pressure, I tend to just take one day at a time and do what I can. The time seems to pass quicker this way and before you know it - it's over!
It would be nice if we got a full rehersal of the show today. That never seems to happen.. which is no body's fault.. we are just learning and this is a lot of work!
Tonight I plan to go home and relax, I am in radio news next week. There is a new thing in the radio studio that records all of the shows.. this is great because all of my news reads will be logged and recorded no matter what. So that's good, because I am thinking about doing my 2 week internship at a Radio station - I enjoy news radio!
I have to go right now... Television calls...

Brynn! :)

Pardon me if I fall asleep while posting this blog.. I am on antibiotics galore. Throughout the day they make me feel invincible... then once the evening hits, I'm drowsy and spacey. I have not been in school the past 2 days, and my cable got disconnected.. So.. what have I been up to? Not much besides laying in bed and checking chronicleherald.ca, cbc.ca and news957.com - constantly.
I'm going a bit shack-wacky and am eager to get back to school and back to routine. I hate not having anything to do.
So, what is going on in the news that interests me? To be honest I am a little sick of hearing about the Bishop Lahey case... basically I feel that, he was charged, and that's it. Researching into everything doesn't change the fact that he did what he did and faced the charges he faced. His next court appearance on Nov. 4th will be interesting I guess.
I have been doing radio news reads. They are pretty fun, my whole family has been tuning in and listening.. which makes it even more fun because the pressure is really on!
The NSCC Strike is looming, I keep checking my email like a maniac... the meeting to choose a strike date was tonight. I read on the internet that the government says they will not interfere if there is a strike.. that concerns me.. because before I felt that if they went on strike for a week, then whatever.. not a big deal. Now I feel like if the government said they are not going to interfere.. that means when the expected strike does happen.. it could go on forever.. which is NOT good.
I support the teachers for wanting to strike because they deserve the 2.9% pay increase, they work really hard and definetly should have it. I guess what is ' meant to be will happen '....
When I was sick the past couple days and was stressed that I was missing school and wasn't feeling well... my Mom said this quote to me...

" Everything is okay in the end, if it's not okay, it's not the end."

Yours truly
