Politics!

Do we really have to talk about that?

Yes, we do because it effects our everyday life.

The word ‘politics’ makes peoples heart drop at the dinner table. Many believe that politics is a conversation that should’t exist. This blog will show that engaging in healthy political conversations can be very productive and fun.

Let me give you some quick background on me!

My name is Lance Batho, I am currently a junior at Central Michigan University studying public relations and public affairs. Currently I am interning at the Michigan House of Representatives as a legislative affairs intern for the speaker of the house.

Throughout my time interning at the capitol, I have learned what really goes on inside a political office and working for a politician. It is a very past paced environment full of networking, analysis, data entry and a big sense of competition between parties.

This blog was established in my JRN 340 class (Intro to Digital Journalism). We are learning how to adapt in an interchanging journalism period full of new technological advances. This blog will serve as a first hand look inside what we are learning in this class and incorporating politics in with it.

I am looking forward to supplying you with many blog post to come!
