I took yesterday “off” so that I could tend to my Communication and Fundraising in Sport classwork. Now I am back at it this Saturday, conducting research on programs competing with the ICC’s newest initiative as well as pricing for a website. The Internet as vast as it is, there is a lot of information to look for and gather into a central document that’s simple enough to make the appropriate decision.
When I pursued my Journalism degree in undergrad, I will not lie, I had delusions of grandeur. If I worked hard enough, I could become the next Tom Brokaw or Ted Koppel. Obviously, it did not work out that way. That is why I have tempered my expectations greatly this time around. I will put the effort in to ensure that the ICC has a quality product that its intended audience uses and gets something out of. Whatever happens as a result of my work here is just great.
The important thing I am hoping to get out of this experience is the chance to showcase the talents I have accumulated from my journalistic and communications work. If you had asked me this question two years ago or heck, even one year ago, I am not sure that would be my response. But the farther I go and the closer I get to the finish line, it becomes all the more clearer to me that this is what I want to be doing. Research and publishing are quintessential traits to both journalism and communications, so my previous work has set me up to provide a great analysis for the ICC.
