About Me

About Me 

 I enrolled into 'News Reporting and Writing' because I strive to become an editor within Journalism. I'm a Journalism major because my passion in life lies in writing. I hope for my work and editing to eventually make a difference and impact within my community in the future. I'm interested in learning about journalism to gain the knowledge I need to be a successful editor. Outside of Journalism, I have a lot of passion for my art and poetry, I also am into gaming and want to eventually begin streaming. I also have a book in the works that I've had planned out for the past couple years.

My Goals

 Three goals that I have for this term are to gain more confidence in myself in general, be able to talk to people more comfortably, and get more involved with the Commuter.

My First Story

My first story is going to be focused on local and on-campus creators and small artists of all kinds, asking them things such as:

1. What inspired this (idea/major work/etc) and what got you started on it in general?

2. What is your goal for where you want this to go or what would you like it to lead you toward in the future?

3. How long have you been working on (major work/project?)

4. What is the background or meaning within your (piece/work/project)?

5. Do you see your work surpassing you? What kind of impact do you think this has left on you when it comes to your own growth?


My three sources for this piece include Kaylee Marsh, Damian Riley, and Scotia Kaye.

Humans of LBCC

My name is Megan Freitas, i'm 20 years old and currently enrolled at LBCC majoring in journalism. This is currently my second year of college and I will be graduating with my Associate of Arts after spring term. After I graduate, my plan is to cover editing or writing for online media sites. My dream would be to be able to sell my creative work and different forms of art on the side on Etsy. My greatest challenge in college has been being able to get over my social anxieties and learn to put myself out there, as I'm pretty introverted by nature.  In my free time, I spend a lot of time gaming, creating pieces of art in various forms, listening to music, and involving myself in anything expressive. Additionally, I have also recently started on the path of witchcraft and spiritual work. I make tarot reading, meditation and self reflection a part of my daily routines. I even have a blog I just started where I share my daily learnings. As for pets, I have an Australian Shepherd dog ...

Addario Book Report

Image
          In Lindsey Addario's book, "It's What I Do", my favorite anecdote comes from chapter 7, where Addario speaks about her time in Africa. She went from Abeche, tp Bahai, tin Darfur. She had to sneak in illegally for interviews because the government was not allowing journalist visas. He journey once there was a five-day one, where they carried everything on back. She speaks about how Darfur is different than other places she has seen such as Afghanistan and Iraq. She experienced the kind of war where everyone was kind of against one another, including your own people. Out of the many anecdotes from this book, this was one that stood out because it puts into perspective how much freedom and privilege we have in America. Even though we may not like aspects of how our country is at times, we are able to have moments of safety and peace. Places such as Darfur are very different. They live their lives in fear, especially the women, in several ways. Everyone ca...
