As the editor of her high school yearbook and part of the news staff for her high school newspaper, Annabel Love has decided to continue her study of Journalism at Wake Forest University.
Having always had an appreciation for writing, Love decided to enroll in Introduction to Journalism for the spring semester of her sophomore year.
“I’m looking forward to being able to be the detective,” said Love, when comparing journalism to that of discovering a mystery.
Love expressed interest in magazine style writing comparing that career style to the popular 2004 movie, “Thirteen going on Thirty”.
“I just really want to work with people,” said Love, who is planning on majoring in Communications while minoring in Entrepreneurship and Journalism.
Love said she could easily see herself in a career involving advertising or public relations.
As an avid reader of “theSkimm” and other online news sources, Love remains up to date on current events while focusing the news she reads on subject matters she is interested in. While admitting that hard copy newspapers may be in a decline, she discussed how technology has helped her remain informed and how it has made news much more accessible for her.
Love said that many of her Wake Forest classes have incorporated current events and news sources into their curriculum. She said her Religion and Communication classes actively discuss the news and current events.
