JRN 450 is unlike any other journalism class I have taken. It t helped me to think more about business and marketing knowledge. I enjoyed this semester with this class because we are actually trying to fight for our own business idea. Although most of us still do not have the ability to make it… Continue reading JRN450: A wonderful journey
After building our startup idea for four months, we are transforming ourselves to embrace the opportunity and challenge of a brand new world – entrepreneurship. It was a great adventure for us to broaden our horizon and explore the connections between media and entrepreneurship. Before this class, becoming a sports broadcaster is the only career… Continue reading Redefining spectacular: Entrepreneurial media
Dear Future Student of JRN 450, If you’re currently enrolled in the class or considering doing so, you’re likely on the final stretch of your college career. This may be the last class you take required for your major, or maybe you’ve decided to tact on a few extra classes for the hell of it.… Continue reading You should probably take this class
I knew what entrepreneurship was prior to taking this class, but I didn’t really know what it would entail to get started. After this class, I realize that I hadn’t the first clue what all went into creating and marketing a product or a service. I had heard the start-up stories of Facebook and other successful… Continue reading Your crazy ideas may actually be a solution
Journalism and entrepreneurship are not two things that you generally put together but this class has taught us how those two can co-exist. But this class has taught us more than just the business side of media. Working on our very own startups was an extremely valuable project that has completely changed the way I… Continue reading Journalism and entrepreneurship can go hand in hand
As we reach the end of the semester, I will admit that this class was not what I expected it to be. I had no idea what to expect going into a class called “Creating/Marketing Media.” I’m a journalism student, so to see a marketing-type class offered by my department as a part of our curriculum… Continue reading JRN 450: A Window into the Future of Media and Entrepreneurship
If you asked me whether or not I have the skills to become a successful entrepreneur, my answer at the beginning of the semester would have been simple: “Absolutely not!” If you asked me that same question now after spending 16 weeks in JRN 450, my answer would be…. “Maybe.” My answer didn’t miraculously change… Continue reading Never stop asking “Why?”
Where do I even begin? This course has really opened my eyes to the intense world of entrepreneurship. I began this semester with the naïve perception that starting my own business would be a simple task and ended knowing that it’s one of the hardest, most rewarding things I could ever set out to do.… Continue reading What haven’t I learned?
I learned more in this class than in any of my other classes. I can say that definitively. I started the semester off working on a travel blog and ended with a social media marketing business that already has a client. I can’t even believe how far I came. I didn’t even create Denalicat Media… Continue reading I did it! I started my own business
I always thought that starting a business would be easy. In my mind, all a person had to due was create a useful product, find customers and BAM! The money would start pouring in. I was right about creating a useful product and finding a target market, but when it comes to entrepreneurship being easy,… Continue reading There’s always room for growth
