The Communication/Journalism field is one that is converging. As a student, I learned from professors and from speaking with professionals that it is important to diversify your talents to be more productive as a professional.
This knowledge led me to branch out to take classes like Television Production, Electronic Media and Broadcast & Advertising. I wanted to be able to feel comfortable with writing, not only in public relations but also for scripts in television, radio and even marketing. While I am still learning about the electronic field, I am more confident in the technology and in my ability to write effective scripts because of the classes that I have taken.
Below are some of the examples of that work, and also descriptions on why they are included in this portfolio.

Television Script - Virtual Workout.
This is an example of a television script that I wrote for my public relations class. Through my experience with Television Production and Electronic Media, I had already felt comfortable with script writing and broadcast news.
I wanted to include this script in my portfolio because it shows my ability to write a script for television, which can be used in broadcast news or with a VNR.

Marketing Plan - FEM Network.
As stated before on my public relations writing page, during my time in Broadcast & Advertising sales, we were asked to create a small-scale marketing plan for a network that we created.
Although this is not a full marketing plan, I believe that this shows my ability to write a marketing plan and shows an understanding of what is required for a marketing plan. As a Communication/Journalism student this is an excellent example of convergence through the fields of marketing and public relations, and why I feel comfortable in my ability to alternate between them with balance.

Radio Script - The Environmental Club.
In my Electronic Media class, we were asked to write four pieces for either radio or television about a subject that was important to us. For my final project, I decided to focus on the Environmental Club and its Earth Day event. I chose to use radio for my medium.
The reason that I included this example in my portfolio is because although I still have some to learn about in the electronic media field, I have a willingness to learn and I believe enough skill to be able to handle an assignment of script writing when asked of me.

Radio Script 2 - Supreme Court Case.
This is another example of a script that I wrote for radio. This script was done using EZ News, which allowed me to become more familiar with the program through my Electronic Media class.
I included this script because it represents my capabilities as a script writer. This includes being time efficient, following AP style and knowing how to grab the attention of the listener.

Podcast Script - Music Festivals.
One of the most interesting scripts I wrote was for a podcast in my Internet Communication course. This podcast was designed to inform about music festivals. The script is written similar to a radio, or television script but with a longer time frame attached to it.
I included this in my portfolio because podcasts are quickly becoming one of the hottest trends in journalism, and public relations. I believe that by doing a podcast it not only shows my comfortababilaty with Audition but also with keeping up with technological trends. This piece is also an example of my writing skills.
