My work that I provided for my internship was work that is used for colums that are used in everyday a paper, so the work I provided was useful for everyone. My music colums were just extras, and I believe that if the reader did not hear about the bands I were talking about, that they might possibly look them up and actually like them. Other than my daily writings, my projects included a concert review on an Of Mice & Men concert, and an interview/concert preview of SECRETS. Before attending the concert, I thought my review was only going to be a few inches long. But with help from editors and contributors, they helped make my piece way longer than it needed to be. I had to trim it tremendously, but it ended up being one of the best pieces I've written in my opinion. It even landed me a job as a contributor for a music journalism website. My other project, the interview, was something I thought of on the spot and basically did it all by myself, except the editing. I contacted the bands PR, and got the band to stop on their travel on a Starbucks in order for me to ask them questions about them.
