Next time around

I think some of the things I need to work on are my copy editing skills and the depth of my stories. It seems that every time I have turned something in this semester, I am making these horrible mistakes with punctuation, grammar and so on. What I really need to do with that is read my copy over a few more times before I hand it in, so I can avoid the stupid mistake that I kick myself over later. On top of that, I need to go a little deeper with each story I do. The last story I turned in, about the Ice Palace movie, was a tease because I talked about all of these interesting aspects of the movie and who was involved, but I not to great lengths. In the end the story was very dull and something I was not proud enough to stand behind.

Some of the changes that I think I will face in the future have to be the speed and the quality of the news that needs to be produced. Here I am thinking the deadlines at Ka Leo are ridiculous, but they are a daily paper that publishes four times a week. It's going to be much harder with a news service that operates twenty-four-hours a day, not to mention way more stressful.
