Journalism Junky Seeking Fun News Consumers

Welcome to my blog about journalism. No! Don’t open a new tab. Let me explain myself!

I’m a 21-year-old journalist from Irving, Texas. I’m graduating from TCU in December. Go Frogs!

I will use this blog to explore cool and different ways young people can consume their news. I will feature innovative ways news outlets use the magic of the Internet to capture and invoke thought.

This might not sound like a page turner for every single one of you but it definitely affects you.

This is important to my generation because right now, our source for news is focused on our parents and grandparents. I understand that some outlets are suffering financially and they focus on the older crowd. Yeah, this is where the money is but I want to spice things up a bit and let the young readers out there learn about new ways to get the facts fast.

I know very few young adults who wait for the morning paper to get their fill of what’s happening right this second.  Social media will obviously be a huge portion of this blog but I hope to find some things that you don’t already use or know about.

If you like something I feature on the blog, comment and let me know why. I want to gauge where our generation is headed and once I’m hired, I will use this blog to show my employer how to grab a 20-something’s attention.

This will be weekly updated blog and I’m very open to any ideas y’all have on this subject. Email me at lexy.b.cruz@tcu.edu and talk with me about things you see and I’ll feature it on here. This will be weekly updated blog.
