Journalism

Hey there,

My name is Ids Nicolai. I’m eighteen years old and I’m from Leeuwarden. The capital of ‘Fryslan’, a province in the North of the Netherlands. In Fryslan we have our own language. I find it kind of funny, because outside Fryslan few people understand you when you talk Frisian. Further about me. I went to primary and secondary school in Leeuwarden. But then I left Leeuwarden behind me to study at Windesheim in Zwolle. But I still live in Leeuwarden. I travel every day by train. Now I study Journalism and that’s what this blog is about.

I knew I want to become a journalist since I was 13. I didn’t know why, but I knew. So I started college at Windesheim. I still don’t know which way to go in the world of journalism. Working on a newspaper is a exciting thing to do. Especially when it is about football. Also research journalism should be an interesting thing to do. Discover things that aren’t discovered yet. The American journalists who discovered the Watergate scandal, they are real heroes to me. That’s the function of journalism to me. In the future I’ll know what kind of journalist I will be.
