I have to say that after going straight from classes and finals to working, it was nice to look forward to a 3-day weekend. But it has made it a little tough to keep up with blogging since I have been traveling much these past few weekends.
This week, I continued to take stories off the AP wire and publish them online. While it is interesting to know what is going on at all times, I do wish sometimes that I had a little more room to experience other parts of the job. However, the employees that work on an entry level here are doing the same work that I am. I've come to the conclusion that there isn't much leeway here for experiencing different parts of the job. Everyone has a pretty specific role and they have to stick to it.
My boss requested that I begin the second part of my research project. I am doing much of the same thing, but it does give me the opportunity to look around the website a bit and really see what kinds of stories are valued at CBS. There is a pretty wide variety of story types. I've started to look forward to reading two distinct types: the ones in the "Strange" section, and those published on "48 Hours Mystery."
I also like being given the chance to report my findings to my boss. I've always considered research and analysis two of my strong points, so it really lets me exercise those.
