Journal 6

As I have already mentioned in this blog, I am most passionate about traveling, fashion and music.  I have not mentioned though, my strong desire for politics. I am currently double majoring in Political Science as well as EWM, so combining these two would be absolutely ideal. Realistically speaking, any written outlet relating to these topics would be of essence for my portfolio as well as my profession. I have high aspirations as an editor/writer and I would hope any outlet would appreciate my efforts. Since I am discussing traveling in this blog, I think it would make the most sense to focus my portfolio in this class around it as well.  There are so many potential employers in this field that I would be delighted to work for, but I have narrowed it down to three that relate extremely well to my blog.

The first would be The Travel Magazine for many different reasons. I think they carry a wide range of travel details ranging from transportation to a wide description of destinations for almost any type of traveler. My blog and eventually my portfolio would be extremely relevant to them because it focuses on the audience of both a young and grown adult, as well as give historical background and an accurate depiction of the place I am discussing.

I also would love to work for the New York Times. What’s cool about the New York Times is that it is very strong on opinions and personal experiences, especially in the travel section. I think that my blog/portfolio would appear ideal to them as an employer because I do give my insight and I do address controversial issues as well as relate it to my personal times I have spent visiting these locations.

Last but not least, I would be extremely delighted and ecstatic to work for CNN. I spend hours upon hours on CNN’s website looking at articles and I am always extremely amazed by how well they appeal to almost any audience, with any interest. The travel section of CNN would probably be the lightest in content. It is always a pleasurable read, helping you to learn more about a place or explore it through the eyes of someone else. I believe that they would enjoy my work, considering that it is a lot like what is found in the travel section. I think it is a light read, providing the interesting facts, keeping people entertained, and appealing to a variety of people. It’s descriptive in length but short enough to keep people interested.
