It's safe to say that I love it. I'm excited for the direction the mass media is headed, becoming more technologically advanced every day, constantly becoming better able to serve the communication needs of society. Times are changing, and the media is changing with them. It's a time of adaption and creation in the communication world, and I get to be a part of that. I'm confident in my decision to pursue this career.
Speaking of decisions, it's almost time for Decision '08 - the Presidential Election. Everywhere I walk on campus, I can spot someone recruiting voters and making sure that every student's registration is updated. In most of the interactions I've seen, the student is already registered at their current address, ready to cast their ballot in November. Never before has the youth been such a force in politics. The younger generation is demanding change and demanding to be heard. Young people are generally well-informed about the issues they are passionate about - thanks to the media that provides them with that information. Every mass media outlet is overflowing with information and news updates on the campaigns. Journalists are meeting the demands of the public for current facts and analysis on the candidates and their tactics. I'm happy to see my generation take notice of the world around them.
