I've decided to go with fashion journalism as my beat. I enjoy writing about local businesses and news having to do with the apparel industry, and I also enjoy writing about not so local high fashion shows and global fashion news as well. I haven't done a lot of writing about fashion, but what I have written I have enjoyed. Honestly, I haven't written a lot of any topic so I'm choosing fashion to focus on. I'm hoping to get better at writing about this topic and I hope it will help me prepare for the industry I want to work in even more.
