Fuzzy News: an Introduction

Fuzzy News is the academic blog for Advanced Writing (Journalistic Writing) taught by professor Clark Richardson at Aoyama Gakuin Daigaku Spring `06.

Assignments will be posted to this site as they are assigned.

I`m a Senior at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington (USA). I am currently majoring in Japanese (the reason I am studying abroad here at Aoyama), but after I return to America, I will also pursue a Mechanical Engineering degree. I have no formal training in writing beyond an introductory English class, and the feedback I have recieved from research papers in my classes, I have never attempted to write in a journalistic style. I am thinking of joining the on campus English Newspaper, at least as a grammatical checker, but I am really not sure about this.

I have no idea what type of journalism I would be good at, or desire to do currently.
