I am Zach Mayer. I'm a student at Texas State University. I'm a junior with a journalism major, with a minor in political science. I hope to go into a career of journalism, which would include covering political issues, or human interest stories. I have the intention of working for the school news paper, the University Star (which has at least one story about Redwood) in the Fall to continue to build my resume. I have already completed two semesters at the school radio station, KTSW 89.9. My hope is to learn a variety of different media for journalism because today's media has a lot of technological convergence. Therefore, the more skills you have, the more likely you'll do well in the career field. Will I one day work for some newspaper in some big city one day? I'm not completely sure, for all I know I might go into PR, but my current intention is to cover political and/or human interest issues, report and research such issues, and write and publish about such issues.
This blog about Redwood is meant to be a class assignment for a journalism class. I currently have a translator/guide for Redwood. He's helping me make connections in the neighborhood.
