My name is Allen Jackson
and I was born in Detroit. I
am the youngest of four children. My
passion for journalism started when I began watching sports and I could
always talk about it but I couldn’t write about it. During my time here at Wayne State I did
stories on The Wayne State University Women’s basketball team’s tournament run, stories on the
history of Comerica Park, last year’s opening day at Comerica Park.
Currently I work at
Comerica Park as an event housekeeper, while there I get to be around
journalists to see how they do their jobs. Some of the people that I look up to in this
profession are Stephen A. Smith, the late Stuart Scott, and Dan Miller are just
a few.
I am a senior and I will
be graduating in December of this year with a bachelor’s degree in
journalism. Also, I also have an
interest for photojournalism as well that is why I wanted to take this class
because I want to learn how to take excellent photos and use them effectively
in terms of being in the sports field. That is all about me, talk to you guys soon!
