I am Winthrop: Daisy Burroughs
Daisy on the road to Success!
As the computers shut down, the lights in the television control room and the television studio room goes off and the cameras shut down, Daisy Burroughs has completed another successful news recording for "Winthrop Close Up".
She started her freshmen year of college as an education major and quickly realized her passion for broadcasting should be pursued.
Switching from education to mass communication, Daisy believes that she made the right decision and is determined to be successful in her future plans as becoming a reporter first, then a show host.
"Ideally I would take my degree and go into the working world; start off as a reporter and then I would love to become a co-host for a well known news show such as Good Morning America," she confessed.
Becoming familiar with the broadcasting utensils, Daisy started out as the teleprompter for the news show, film at her University. The news show is called "Winthrop Close Up" which reports the latest news that is going on around campus and the surrounding areas. This news show only has two live recordings a school year but there are many weekly recordings shown on a Winthrop television channel.
Later in the semester, Daisy was placed as the floor director, which really gave her hands on opportunities.
"I like being the floor director because I get to call the shots, communicate between the anchor and the workers in the technician room. It can get a little frustrating because the anchors may not read their scripts and mess up or the technology room may have problems but we just have to roll with the punches," she admitted.
The Winthrop broadcasting senior had the opportunity to intern for Good Day Columbia, in Columbia SC; where she had the opportunity to show off her skills she learned from her class, "Winthrop Close Up".
Not only is the upcoming reporter a crew member for the news show at Winthrop, she is also Winthrop's 2013 Homecoming queen, the President of Xi Beta Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc., a member or Kappa Tau Alpha and Alpha Lambda Delta, a 2013 Peer Mentor, a National Society of Collegiate Scholars and a CN2 News Intern.
Daisy work as a office and night host for Winthrop's Resident Halls such as Roddey, Margaret Nance and Richardson. She is also known as one of Winthrop's "Excellent Women".
Daisy Burroughs is a well-known student amongst the student body of Winthrop University and she is well involved around campus in many organizations.
At 22, Daisy Burroughs will be graduating from Winthrop University with a BA degree in Mass Communication and she has already launched a job at Good Day Columbia.

New digital journalism
When people think of journalism, they probably think of writing stories, news and many more ideas. Journalism may also be known as only written down or typed. Now journalism has "upgraded" over the years due to technology. Digital journalism is a common new type of journalism nowadays. Story telling is something most journalists loves to do and now with the different multimedia ideas out today, journalists can upgrade their storytelling with formats such as text, audio, videos, graphics and photo slideshows. Studies have shown that with different formats of multimedia, the younger crowd audience will not lack the attention span they need for the reading in depth stories because the new formats such as graphics will make the story more interesting. Audio as well will make the stories a lot more interesting. Because of many multimedia options, the younger crowd audience will be more interested and willing to learn the topics more in-dept. Adding audio and videos to a story will have more people being engaged with the reading. Having multiple multimedia formats for storytelling or news is very effective. Each format can target certain crowd. For example, the older crowd can relate to text multimedia more because they probably grew up with less
technology, so they had to read a lot. As to photo slideshows can target the younger crowd since children and teens do not like to read often. Since journalism can have multimedia ideas, readers can explore the stories and multimedia of their interests and what is easier for them to read and understand. That can be very effective for the audience members. Another interesting thing about having multiple multimedia formats is that a story do not all have to be text or do not all have to be pictures. The story can consist of photos, videos, audio and text at the same time and that will the stories more interesting and easier to understand. Having audio and videos for a story or news report or for blogs is really effective especially if someone can not read well. You can have advantage when you add other formats other than text to your stories or blog because it will draw more attention to it from the audiences. Digital journalism is more compelling to people as well as will sell faster because of it's unique technology formats. The internet has raises concern about the lack of knowledge people would receive because of the multimedia formats due to lack of thinking but readers can learn more if they go beyond just reading text. Digital journalism is a very educated way to learn and it is taking over the media today. Here is a link to learn more.
