Lemire (skim Ch 2-7) -- Jerz: EL150 (Intro to Literary Study)
Reflection Paper: Chapter 5
When I read Jenna Miller’s blog entitled “Hamsters or The New Yorker” it made me think more about the magazine industry. In my own blog I talked about possibly writing for a magazine because it seemed to contain all the positive aspects I was looking for when it came to being a journalist. However, I leaned more towards consumer magazines because they are better known, and just seemed much more glamorous. After reading Jenna’s blog I can see the appeal of a trade magazine because they do pertain to your “passions and interests”, but unlike Jenna who knows she wants to write about animals, I don’t necessarily know what my passion is.
