Lobola Reflective Piece
This feature package was probably this fun and most interesting so far. This reason for this is because after Yusuf and Sumaiya ’s crash course on video taking and editing I felt a bit more confident in my video taking ability.

REFUSE reflective piece
Assignment 3: Produce a feature package on an accomplished South African who has not been given coverage in the mass media.

A reflective piece
Choosing a speech to center an entire package on isn’t as easy as it sounds- I learned that the hard way. When I first saw the assignment brief I thought this sounds pretty easy I’m just gonna use my favorite speech of this generation, Jesse Williams BET speech. As I listen to the speech for…

There is something about that Spring air
So YEAH Spring is here!!! Spring is probably one of my favorite seasons, even though I am an Autumn baby. There is something about those longer days and sun downers with friends that makes me feel all tingly inside. I am convinced that this Spring air has done something to my usually cynical self. I…
