About this blog

My name is Darin Moriki and I am a student in the JMC 410 Advanced News and Feature Writing class at the University of Northern Colorado. This semester I will be covering the meetings and sponsored events of the Student Senate, a student-run legislative body that oversees a budget of student fees totaling nearly $1.5 million.

About this blog

The purpose of this blog is to discuss the various issues that are being addressed by the Student Senate at the University of Northern Colorado and inform the student body of the decisions that are made, which will ultimately affect them and their college experience.

I have three years of journalism experience working as a staff writer for The Mirror, where I covered various events and beats, including the Student Senate. In addition, I was selected for an internship with the Asian American Journalists’ Association and worked as an intern at the Honolulu Star-Bulletin for nearly four months, where I covered topics and events that required a significant amount of investigative reporting.

I believe that there is always room for self-improvement, because the field of journalism is constantly changing though the development of new methods to disseminate information more quickly and efficiently. As I have learned in my Advanced News and Feature Writing class, blogs have developed into an essential news source because reporters are able to readily send out information while the story is happening; however, I think that this new mode of new reporting will prove to be challenging for me because I have never used blogs to post stories prior to this class.
