Final Blog - My thoughts

Putting my thoughts into words is bitter-sweet as always when the quarter ends because it feels like I have to say goodbye to an enjoyable environment. I begin with feeling doubt and restlessness from the first day in class to feeling pride, joy and triumph today because I have surpassed another quarter here at De Anza. I have learned in my first journalism class to be open-minded and accept that the truth in mass media may be hidden. In this class, I have learned to persevere and ask questions. I definitely view mass media in a different light because I know that history has a way of repeating itself. My understanding of the first amendment is changed because although the first amendment states freedom of the press, speech and religion it is different in the media. The first amendment protects an individual but also has consequences. I know I will take my learnings and evoke them in my daily media usage. Thank you for an awesome experience. :)
