The purpose of this blog is to further my understanding of covering a beat and gain experience in blogging. This is the first blog I have ever worked on so I expect there to be a little bit of a learning curve.
Though this is my first blog, this isn't my first time covering a beat or covering the UNC men's basketball team beat in particular. I've been the beat writer for the Bears since the start of the 2009-2010 season.
I am confident in my ability to cover this beat with accuracy and timeliness because of my previous experience with this program. The fact that I've been a sports reporter at the UNC Mirror and have interned for both the Canon City Daily Record and The (Greeley) Tribune has prepared me for deadline writing.
I am nervous, however, about my layout skills because I have not spent any time as an editor or blogger so far in any of my experiences. That is my greatest fear as a graduating senior and what makes me a little self-conscious in this blog. My goal in this project and remainder of the semester is to develop and understand more about layout. Laying out this blog will be a good start.
