Brandon Liu and Journalism – Meg
“I’ve learned that journalism isn’t what I thought—I always thought it was people trying to tell a story, I thought it was supposed to cause controversy,” shares Brandon Liu, sophomore at Wake Forest University from Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. A business major, Liu never thought he would end up in journalism until he found the entrepreneurship classes full and signed up for Phoebe Zerwick’s class.
In just a few weeks, his habits have changed. Before, Liu checked the news headlines maybe once a month, but now he has bought a subscription to The NY Times to browse daily. He finds the style of journalism interesting and different compared to the academic writing he is used to.
“I’m interested in world and business news,” Liu confides.
While he admits he is not interested in a career related to journalism, he hopes that the skills he learns, including precision and skepticism, will be useful in his future interests in marketing and business.
