My Trip to California for a Journalism Conference - 24 hours in

This morning we talked about solutions journalism, which was just the coolest topic ever. And now I'm diving into research on how I can be a better writer and how I can give you guys better content, give you more solutions rather than problems. And then I also went into another session about reporting with all five senses. And I just learned so much about being observant and really taking in the room and getting the most you can out of every experience and then reporting on it in the best way possible

Hi, Maggiel. That's so exciting to hear. I'm actually from Long Beach, so if I think you guys are staying by the water, I know my professor for one of my journalism classes. He went with a couple students, and he told told me that he was going to Long Beach and staying at, like, a hotel by the water. So that's why I'm guessing where you guys are maybe all at the same hotel

They have this chicken fried chicken that is just so good. The waterfront area is very trendy in the sense of there being a lot of chain restaurants. And it's kind of like a big outdoor mall to some degree. So if you venture a little further, there are some cool places to go, like Belmont Village, I believe is the name. And then there's the canals. You can rent a boat. It's like $100 for an hour

Hey, I feel like I really like that in College yet. But in high school, I did a lot of modern UN conferences. And just the highlight of that was really just learning how to public speak and just being able to kind of, like, get out, explore somewhere else. And just, like you said, just interact with people and learn new ways to express myself. That's really cool. Thanks for sharing

Okay. That's really cool that you did that conference. I went to California over the summer. I went to SoCal, but I never made it to Long Beach, and now I really want to go. Also, I love that you did journalism conference hours. I'm personally not a journalist as a major, but I use so much writing for all the business classes that I have to do. So I could use all the tips on making my writing stronger and better

Hey Maggie, I'm Super excited that you're going to Long Beach. I'm on the Ryan, which is my school newspaper. And they all went to Long Beach also for the same conference as well. I unfortunately couldn't make it because I'm going on a camping trip this weekend. But it was bummer. I could have met you. Maybe. But I hope you have a great time. And please do give those journals and tips
