Hello Professor Weiser!


Hello, all! As you may or may not know, this blog is sort of an ongoing archive of assignments for my multimedia class at my university. It’s been great, and I’ve had the chance to learn lots of different methods of writing, recording, interviewing and editing, all very important in the communications field, a place I hope to become a part of in the near future. I was lucky enough, for half the semester, to have sports broadcaster Seth Everett as a professor for this course, until he landed a job touring with the Mets. But not to worry, he’s left us in good hands.

With that said, I wanted to give a warm welcome to our new, equally distinguished professor, TV news broadcaster Jeff Weiser. This post is a way of giving you an idea of what to expect from my blog and me over the rest of the semester. I’m a sophomore majoring in advertising and I hope to one day work in copywriting and other creative outlets of the communications field. I chose music as the topic for my blog because it’s my absolute passion and something I realized I simply couldn’t shut up about. To be more specific, and as you might’ve gathered from reading previous posts, I’m very interested in reporting and reviewing alternative, indie and local musicians whom I hope to give the recognition they deserve. Any amount of exposure my blog gives these diamonds in the rough will give people an idea of just how vast the music world is, which grows and grows by the minute. The mainstream Top-40 songs can be great – they’re popular for a reason aren’t they? But what you hear on major radio stations by huge artists only skims the surface of what’s out there. I’m here to dive a bit deeper.
