A cup of tea that isn't for me


Going into this assignment, I went in blind, assuming that I could think of a topic that is somewhat interesting to me, do light research, and then write it. After reading “What is Enterprise Reporting,” it helped me dig deeper with researching my topic. I felt that the “why” aspect helps me explore areas of my topic that I wouldn't have noticed unless someone mentioned it to me. I also have to keep being a little skeptical about the information that I’m giving since it can be biased to a certain degree, which is something I don’t want to have in my story and in future write-ups.

At first investigative reporting didn’t catch my attention and I still don’t find it appealing. I did learn to be more analytical and not believe everything that I hear without doing more research on whatever topic is brought up because of investigative reporting. However, I’m not really the type to be too focused on things that may/may not concern me or my future nor look deep into a certain subject because it might be information I won’t utilize in my daily life. I’m glad that I’m getting exposure in investigative reporting, but it’s an ice cream flavor that I won’t ask seconds for.
