Reflection Post

As I looked back on my posts from the beginning of class I feel as though I did not stay completely true to my topic. Originally I was going to post about fitness and exercise motivation. Although I think I did good with pictures and descriptions, I feel as though I gave up on the motivation part and just went right to informing people about the New ODU Recreation Facility. I think in the end it worked out well though. I should have kept up more with the goings on at the facility, and I would have improved my blog with more recent photos of some of the classes or the events being held there. Even a video of a spinning class or people rock climbing would have made the blog more interesting. I like my pictures and I really started to enjoy the indoor rock climbing aspect. I did not know that it was a popular growing sport in the public and university sports world. After my interview about the rock wall, I wished I had tried it, and took some footage from above. I think my participation would have made my blogging about the rock wall more believable for my audience. I could have motivated them to try it if they were afraid. I have learned that there is a lot more to journalism than I thought. The 5 W's need to be thought of when writing about a topic. Thank you!
