What's Up MCOM 258

Hey what's going on class. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Zach Wilson and I just recently turned 21 and closed out my junior year at Towson University.  I am majoring in Mass Communications in the journalism and new media track and minoring in electronic media and film.  During my first two years at Towson University I was a full time EMF major, but I realized this past fall semester that it wasn't what I really wanted to do with my life, so I decided to switch to mass communications and pursue my passion in writing.  

I am from Catonsville, Maryland, about 25 minutes away from Towson, and frequently go back and forth between here and there to see my friends and family.  I live at an off-campus apartment with my three friends by the Towsontown Center and love being out on my own.  My two biggest passions in life are music and sports.  I have been surrounded by them and been playing both since I was a young child, and will continue to do so until the day I die. When I graduate from Towson University, I hope to get a career in sports journalism and/or broadcasting, or writing about music and entertainment. I play drums for a local  jam band called Vespertine Movement, and my blog for MCOM 257 followed that and I wrote about the different aspects that local bands go through to get their name out there and things that have to happen both on and off the stage.  

During this summer session, I hope to broaden my horizons and learn new programs and techniques in the new media area, because it is becoming more prominent as time goes on and technology advances.  I also want to learn new things when it comes to writing news stories, and improve my writing because that is most important. I look forward to this class, and am ready to learn a lot more about techniques in journalism and especially new media.
