Esther Kim the 'Futuristic' Bugler

Welcome to the Bugler, a blog dedicated to the future of journalism and media.

"Because of your strengths, you are filled with hope every time you think about the good things you can accomplish in the coming months, years, or decades. You probably capture people's attention whenever you describe in vivid detail what you imagine. Instinctively, you treasure the one-on-one conversations you have with visionary thinkers. It's very likely that you are innovative, inventive, original, and resourceful. People are apt to marvel at your ability to remain upbeat in the face of life's difficulties and unpredictability." ~an excerpt from Strengthsfinder 2.0

If the statement above describes you, you are futuristic. And welcome on board!

Blogging has given Kelley and I an excellent chance to map out the future of journalism (only with a pencil, of course).

I hope to fill you in on my discoveries of the future of television news through this specific means of blogging. I've been primarily searching for cool technological advances that inevitably affect the dimensions of broadcast journalism. Almost all professionals in the industry whom I interviewed agreed that the web is a MUST for the more efficient delivery. How about a news watch where you can watch news from any location in 3D images?

The journey has begun.

~A brief profile of myself:

My name Esther comes from the Persian word, 'setareh,' meaning star. Well, so born to be a star (at least to my parents :)), I am currently a senior student at Tufts University in Boston, MA. I'm originally from South Korea, but also grew up in Canada, hence the accidental 'eh's and' sow-rry's and 'bow-rrow's. I study international relations and communications and media. Journalism is where my passion and interest lie (baking comes close), and has given me many goals that I look forward to achieving in life.
