Is it just me or was mass comm week really awesome this year? To be honest this was my first time actually attending any panels during mass comm week and really trying to get involved and i loved it. I think its so cool that our teachers and peers work so hard to get these speakers to come and share their secrets of success with us. I wish I could have attended more than the four that i went to but there were some classes i could not miss.
The first panel i attended was “Innovation in Media” it focused on how innovation is changing the field of journalism. I was really excited to hear from one of the founders of Vox media.

The second was careers in Web Development which was probably my favorite. Im very much sold on going into the web development field after i graduate based off of what these folks had to say.
Web design is all about being aware of design trends and how websites communicate #txstatemcweek
