Although I consider myself a lifelong Dodgers fan, keeping such a close eye on the team over the last five weeks has given me a newfound appreciation for covering a beat and writing in general. There was a time not too long ago when I forgot how fun and fulfilling it could be to do something that I truly love.
Despite the fact that I chose the LA Times and ESPN as the primary news sources for the blog, I nonetheless kept an eye out for any and all things Dodgers.
ESPN has done a magnificent job of providing a complete package with their coverage, no doubt facilitated by their towering presence in every mass medium.
However, The LA Times has been at the forefront of this story since the beginning, and continues to break new developments. The Times may not be as big as ESPN and have a presence in television, radio, the web, and print, but that has not prevented them from providing its readers with top notch journalism at every step of the way.
As I continue my pursuit to establish a career in journalism, I plan to model my writing after that of the Times and other print mediums that have allowed journalism to become what is today.
