Post WJMC

In closing, the Washington Journalism and Media Conference was a great way to explore the field of Journalism and to hear from professonals. I made many new friends and learned a lot about journalism as a career that I could not have learned otherwise. I learned that, as a journalist, you have to be persistant, determined, driven, and passionate about what you are covering, and that you should always find the truth. I know that the WJMC furthered my knowledge about journalism and leadership, and I feel much more informed about the skills and characteristics that I will need in this field. I am very grateful that I had the opprotunity to go to the WJMC, and I will always remember the important lessons that I learned there.
