How Fast is Enough?

I just went into an hour session with Linda Daley whom will be my supervisor for my honors research. Feel bad that I went into the meeting quite unprepared, not in the sense of having nothing to speak of, but having too much. Too many ideas, all over the place. Linda was quite nice about it, and gave me some direction in framing my inquiry / problem. I’m all the more convinced that in this honors year I need to work on something I am passionate about. Right now I’m writing up the Comm Revs essay – 2,500 words – and that is already drawing blood and sweat and tears out of me.

Linda and I sort of worked out that I might possibly try to research how new media has changed the print news practice (well thereabouts). I’ve done quite a bit of research on the citizen-as-reporter phenomenon in the last 2 years and still find it rather fascinating. I found a Singaporean blogger, Unique Frequency, who writes extensively on the new media and it’s effects on the Singapore media industry. And yes, Gen Y is indeed too quick for the newspapers.

**Right, so Honours is spelt H-o-n-o-u-r-s with the ‘u’, and i never knew that. Pardon the American English. I’m quite all over the place.
