This was my second trip to the Eagle and I was over the glitz and glamour that I felt on my last visit. This visit just ensured me that I want to write about sports for the rest of my life, couldn't even imagine doing anything else.
Although the road to being a successful journalist seems gloomy right now, I have high hopes that things will get better. People love sport's and its something that won't be going away anytime soon.
This was Kirk Smirnoffs very first sports writing job and I definitley feel he is so lucky to have gotten the oppertunity to be where he is...it's my ideal job! He gave us some very useful tips on being good sports writers. First step to writing a good story, ask yourself: "Is this approach interesting?" He also told us to be careful with word usage and elminate the word "or" as much as humanly possible.
I thought it was neat to see the whole Eagle and see where the writers work. I enjoyed our speakers and am looking forward to reading more stories in the Eagle. :)
