I'EWOrI Senior Asha Anderson's personal account of studying abroad in Prague. ashaandersoni Iashondaley I writer I spent the summer of my junior in Prague, traveling the city and Europe, learning about journalism and design along with 19 other UM students. Professor Splichal was the first to introduce me to the program. I decided that going would be an amazing experience and it was. It was a lot of work coming up with the funds, but completely worth it. Prague is a beautiful city. CD IJJ J : UJ LU LL; .J We spent five days a weeks finding stories, going on assignments, and then discussing them with one another. We were required to write one story a week. We also did a lot of exploring. I had traveled to Budapest, Austria, Germany and a few other places. I also got to visit the Prague Post, which is one of Praguels leading newspapers and the Gutenberg Museum where I got to use Gutenbergls moveable type. It was such an amazing experience and I would eagerly do it again. I realized that even though it was only a short period of time, I grew up: I learned more about reporting, about conducting in-depth interviews and about finding stories in an unknown area. I also learned design principles. The trip was very educational and thatls what I want to stress. The trip has really made me realize that Ilm excited about pursuing a career journalism.
