To Whom It May Concern,
I no longer need to write this blog as part of an assessment. After this post, my blogging career can end. Yet, I don't think it will. I've actually truly enjoyed blogging as a form of writing, whether it be about news, culture or just to rant. So, with that in mind I can see myself blogging for a long time to come...just not on this blog.
I've managed to explore many different kinds of writing and journalism in this blog. It's been interesting to record what I learnt from my lectures, to have a chance to discover different mediums and read the works of other journalists.
Blogging is an interesting form of writing because you have the ability to publish work in a way that also allows the author to add their two cents. For better or for worse. It also gives readers the opportunity to interact directly with the author. However, because of that, this blog had been very random.
So, that is why I've decided to begin a new blog. Or two? Dedicated to news or personal opinion. If you're interested in reading any more of my work then keep an eye on this blog because I'll post my new url as a final post.
To those this blog concerned,
Thank you.
Nikki Keating.

To Whom It May Concern,
I have always been the kind of person who read the 'about' tab on a website. I get my kicks out of understanding more about the organisation, owner or promoter of whatever I'm reading. So, when a man that goes by the name of Steve Molk introduced himself in my final journalism lecture and talked about his blog, I went straight to the 'about' tab.
I am not the kind of person who enjoys a lot of television. I can sit on the couch and stare at the television, don't get me wrong, I do it often. As far as content is concerned however, most soap operas, reality TV shows and sagas don't entice my idea of entertainment. I'm not even going to mention advertisements. Not in this post anyway.
Yet, I can respect and admire the effort Steve Molk puts into his website based on a variety of things; starting with his 'about' spiel. There is an evident enjoyment and entertainment value that he - and his vast audience - can gain from reading, writing and watching the content on Molkstvtalk.com. If any sort of website can fund, fuel and feed a small business based primarily on a hobby shared by many then it is worth checking out.
Steve Molk, however, was not there just to give a plug about his website. The idea was to promote an awareness that blogging was becoming a feasible enterprise in many worlds including journalism. With a few mild references to writing a blog on 'bum scratching', Molk made it clear that he believed that it was possible to create a business or network of sorts based primarily on two factors; 1) the author has some vague grasp on technology and 2) the author cares about the subject they're writing about. Passion and enjoyment count for everything in the blogging world, even if all you want to write about is 'bum scratching' (or so I've been told).
So I consider my 'hobbies'; reading, writing, travelling and learning. That's something I could love and labour over....Now that I think about it...

About
Television. Like it or not, it’s at the core of popular culture. It sets the tone of public opinion and as a result it offers all of us the opportunity to become armchair directors, producers, casting agents & critics.
The glowing box in the corner of the room became very quickly the flat shiny panel hanging on the wall and/or that iDevice in our pockets/satchels. How we consume our television is changing. That we talk about television is not.
I like talking about TV. A lot. I hope you do to, & hang around to read, listen, & get involved in the conversation.
