It was fun while it lasted. We all have learned a lot from this group project experience. Some have learned the use of AP Style, how to write for the web, how to conduct interviews, and how the International Examiner newspaper worked. We all learned how to put up with each other and work collectively. It has been a good run but now its time to say good bye and move on to the next chapter in life. Have a good one guys.

This it, the final blog! I can’t believe how fast this quarter has flown by. This class has encouraged me to be more aware of my surroundings and what is going on in our society in so many ways. I encourage anyone who has not or hasn’t thought about visiting a news site to do it! We had the pleasure and privilege to speak with Editor in Chief of the International Examiner Travis Quezon about his contribution to that growing news empire. His words about being a journalist to open our minds and eyes to things we did not pay attention to before resonated with me a lot. I am thankful for that experience.
Time flies so fast, it is already the time to say goodbye to our blog readers.
Through out the first half of the quarter, I have learned how to write journal articles for the web, general format and rules of writing news, and how does a newspaper function as a business.
It is been honored for us to choose International Examiner as model and study from the organization. It had been pleasure to visit International Examiner office that located in International District in Downtown Seattle, and met Editor-in-Chief Travis Quezon, and converting with him was educational and intelligential stimulative.
I am thanking everyone who have been reading our blog, and I encourage everyone, who are interested into International Examiner by reading our blog, to start read IE’s newspaper and website.
For ones who are interested in their newspaper, you can always find some of them in some local businesses and pick up for free.
The website of IE is post as:
Again, thank you for your reading and continually support, and we would call it an end for now.

In late October 2015, my group and I had the experience of visiting the International Examiner and interview its Editor-in-Chief Travis Quezon. Thanks to our professor and her in-class activities, my group and I had adequately prepared interview questions and were persistent throughout the interview.
Throughout the preparation leading up to the day of the visit I’ve learned:
I’m glad that I got to experience visiting the IE (located in the International District) because their journalists are out there finding stories about the people of the International District or in connection with this district. They want their audience to be informed of the community, events, social justice and lives of other people that are happening right now.
From my experience I would recommend anyone to visit or set up an appointment to newspapers. It is truly a learning experience and can help motivate anyone who sees journalism as a potential career choice.

Even though I will stop posting on this blog does not mean that you, the reader and I, should stop reading or writing news.

This is it, the final post of the quarter. I hope everyone has enjoyed reading the International Examiners blog posts. I have learned a lot about journalism through this blog. Posting about the International Examiner and learning who the editor in chief is, what the newspaper is about, and who they target for their audience. It was an amazing experience, not only getting the chance to visit the International Examiner and learn how to blog, but also getting the opportunity for the public to read the groups work and learn about what we are learning. Unfortunately it has come to an end of the quarter and its time to say goodbye. I must say those who have participated and have read our blog, you guys are amazing! I’m sorry to have to end this blog but it is time. I hope you all have enjoyed reading as much as myself and my group have enjoyed making this blog. Farewell for now everyone. Time to start a new chapter.

There are many opportunities that student journalists have to contribute to a publication. Students can visit a newspaper site and get first hand experience in journalism with the creditably of their university backing them like a qualification. Also students are able to use this knowledge in future careers or personal experiences. They understand how publication works and what it takes to be apart of the journalism community. There are also a lot of networks available to students use through teachers, faculty and other students. Journalism takes a lot of work and student contribution can help.
Our visit to the International Examiner was a really interesting one to me. After speaking with Editor-in-Chief of the paper Travis Quezon I, along with my group, got a much deeper understanding of how the paper was ran. Travis gave us brief background on the how the paper was ran, from how they distributed the physical copies of the paper to how much money they were receiving from commercial sponsors.
As a group we had done our research on the International Examiner and their deep rooted involvement with the community of the International District.But after our visit with Travis I think we got a better understanding of just how important the paper really is to the community. We learned of community donations to the paper and how they had volunteers as well that helped with the distribution process. We also got an insight as to how the majority of local businesses supported keeping a section in their establishment for The International Examiner because of how expensive newspaper booths actually are (and the amount of restrictions they have due to city guidelines).

Coming into this class, I was expecting it go a complete different way. I did not expect to learn as much as I have and having the opportunity to actually see how a newspaper runs was an amazing experience. I learned how to create a blog, the use of hyper-links, and how important social media is to getting breaking news out to the world. I have better improved my writing by understanding the ways of AP style and the ways of writing news. Also learning the W’s and the importance of who, what, when, where, why, and how. Now I also know how to properly cite things, which is what is needed to be incorporated with visual usage or quotes. Over all this class has been very helpful with strengthening my writing for journalism.
Before the visit to International Examiner in the International District, I know that being a journalist could take a lot of effort on their work daily, but I did not aware what kind of professionalism are required as a journalist. After converting with Travis Quezon, the Chief in Editor, while visiting office of International Examiner, I have realized a decent journalist need to have some qualities such as attentiveness, persist, dedication, enthusiasm, preciseness, etc. Additionally, I have learned how a newspaper strive in a community and speaking for people that live in the community. Although International Examiner is charing free on readers, their reputation on truthworth and integrity helped them on collecting donations that helped them thrive in the International District.
