Meet me, Laura Parkinson, a college student from Lawrence, Kansas. In 2006, I began at the Missouri School of Journalism in Columbia, Missouri. This actually makes me a rebel considering I grew up in the rival territory. Yes, I crossed the border to attend school at one of the best journalism schools in the country. I am interested in Media Convergence. This means telling compelling stories by any means possible. Convergence connects the various media (photography, video, text and audio) to tell rich, multimedia stories.

I will be studying in London this summer and interning at MSN UK. It will be quite an adventure. I will be bringing you posts back from my experiences living and working in another country.

Enjoy my Mizzou Student blog and soon it will be expanded to include your experiences as well. I am a new blogger so welcome, and please, if you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. Don’t be a stranger!!
