This is actually not my first reporting experience. I have been working for the Chimes and this is my second article for them, which doubled as my Story #1 for class. I have decided that I do not like reporting. Reporting is annoying because setting up interviews and fitting them in your schedule is difficult.
I feel like reporting is just uncomfortable and a hassle. Going out and finding people to interview is also a pain, and then you also have to make up questions, meet up, record the conversation both on a recorder and handwritten, and then somehow find a way to incorporate the way that they say their quotes into your writing. I wish I could rephrase what they say in my own clear and concise wording! I love writing articles, but I just did not enjoy getting all the information for it. Maybe it is because I am lazy and reporting is a lot of work? I don't know. I guess we will see how I adjust to reporting as I get more into journalism. As much as I dislike it, I like writing, and reporting is just the necessary evil I have to put up with to do that writing.
