Imagine

Outside on the back patio of the Poynter Institute lies a stone with the word “imagine” written on it.

A stone with that simple word on it is so fitting in a place like this. The Poynter Institute is a place students come to so they can enhance their knowledge of journalism and prepare for anything the future will throw at them.

As we have trained all week long to prepare for our futures in the field of journalism, all the 2010 SJI class can do now is imagine what our futures hold for us.

As I have stated in my pervious blogs, journalism is an evolving field with an unclear future. Newspapers are struggling to survive and online media is expanding, we, as future journalist, must be prepared to make the necessary changes to be successful.

Our time at the Poynter Institute is quickly coming to an end. While we may be leaving this place of learning, the knowledge we have gained here will forever be with us.

As we dream about what may come for us in the next few years, we know that we now have the knowledge to succeed.
