Beat blogging

Oh yes, it's here. The Towson sports blog has arrived. From the top of the department on down, all of the information you need regarding the entire athletic Towson program is right here. My relationships I have formed on each team gives me unparalelled insight and analysis into the latest news, injuries and happenings on every roster. As a student, I am able to better relate to the athletes on campus because we're all here for the same reason: to be educated. I know them and they know me. Forming relationships is essential when covering a beat because you will interact with the subjects on a daily basis. Because I already have established some of these relationships, I'm already a leg up on the competition and therefore am able to get the story first, another key element. Not only is my information current, it's also accurate. Accuracy and integrity are the hallmarks of solid, groundbreaking journalism and it's something I pride myself on providing to my audience. These fundamental tools as well as my knowledge and insight into the program will help my blog be all you need to have for all of your Towson sports information. 

MCOM 258: What I'm all about

Hi, I'm Kevin Hess. I'm 20 years old and about to be a junior at Towson. I'm extremely excited about taking MCOM 258, because I feel like while my fundamental journalistic skills are sharp, my multimedia knowledge and skills have much to gain. That's what I'll hope I'll learn here. I really need hands on knowledge of the internet and what it has to offer. I have the journalistic knowledge to succeed, I truly believe that. My experiences in the field are growing and I couldn't be more excited to be in the media industry. As a part of the Towerlight and PressBox, along with taking classes here at Towson, I couldn't think of a better way to set myself up for the future. But as someone who knows where I want to go, I can't settle and must continue to better myself for later on if I want to be successful.
