What my group and I learned via this experience is that, reporters who focus on social media like twitter have it tough. It was honestly really awkward approaching people for pictures, a lot of people gave us looks like we are crazy. I can’t imagine how people can tolerate going around to random people and getting pictures. It just seems like a really difficult and awkward task to get done on a daily basis. Another thing my group learned is how to properly approach someone for information. People can’t be weird or awkward about it, how one acts will determine if people get the information they want. People can’t be forceful about it either, if people are too forceful or demanding, nobody will get the info they need. Timing is also important, there were many people we wanted to talk to but appeared to be busy when we wanted to approach them, like one professor was on the phone talking. Next, what my group and I observed during this assignment is that people aren’t always welcoming to being put on the spot by reporters. People were extremely weirded out and were caught off guard by us approaching them. Overall the project was a good learning experience on how to approach people properly and reactions one could expect when approached asking for interviews.
