To conclude...

As we've come to the end of our Online Journalism module I thought it would be good to write a little summary of what I've learned and how the module has been useful for me in general.

It's really easy as a journalism student to get complacent about writing and even just keeping up with the news - despite it being something that has been drilled into us since day one.

So the reason why I've really enjoyed this module is that it forced us to write a lot and to realise that we should be journalists now, not wait until we graduate to start writing on a regular basis.

Also, as I am interested in political and international journalism, I found the module quite useful in its flexibility, which allowed everyone to choose the subject they wrote about.

For my group and individual blog this meant getting used to doing a lot of research before I could begin writing any articles. Ultimately, this made for good practice considering all the 'fluffy' journalism modules we've done so far.

I've learned quite a lot about how to set up a blog, how to market it and make it interesting... things which have helped me to set up my own blog, which I will hopefully keep going now that the module has finished.
