Blog 9

For my research project i am thinking about making a documentary about behind the scenes of a college newspaper "The Ticker". It is the weekly newspaper at Baruch which my brother Timothy Petropoulos is the Sports editor. Coming home at all hours of the night i would like to get a grasp of the hard work and dedication it takes for a student who is success full in all his classes to manage the time between studying, editing and writing articles along with having a job working for a online newspaper "NY hoops.com". I would like to interview different people in the staff office and go behind the scenes of how the newspaper is actually run as well as the hard work it takes for the paper to actually get made. I will be keeping a separate blog which i will be keeping track of all the activities and resources on a day to day basis. i will link the blog to my class blog so it will be visible to Dr. Smith. I am still uncertain if this is the topic i would like to do my project on because of the fact that i would need permission from the head of the newspaper to be allowed to film in the newspaper office and interview the staff. If this is possible i am shure this will be my project topic. I believe i can satisfy Dr. Smith and Professor Loucca with this project because it attaches to networking as well as a visual presentation for the mass media class.
