One day I went to a museum. The moment I stepped inside, I was entranced. It was amazing. There were of course, dinosaur bones and prehistoric animal models. But there was also a wing that preserves ancient artifacts. I saw a newspaper from the the late 1860's, during the Civil War. Its edges were yellowed and torn. The language and format were completely different than the newspapers I was used to reading. Ever since then, journalism has always provoked an interest in me. When this exhibition project came around, one of my possibillties was journalism. I was to write about it as a career path and follow a journalist as a project. Then I remembered that day to the museum and I realized that i was curious about learning more about journalism. This project presented the perfect chance to find the answers to the questions i wanted to know. Curiosity got the best of me and that is why I created a website on the history and present-day life of journalism.
