Before starting a new issue, the editors and section writers first hold a meeting. In this meeting, they throw out ideas, decide on a theme for the magazine, and see what preliminary research needs to be done. I am proud to say that I became more and more involved as time went on, and even provided a section editor with an article to write (which he did write) when he was stumped! After the meeting, each person starts doing research. In actuality, this meant a lot more googling that I thought. The internet has really changed the way in which journalism happens, because so much information is on the internet in variously ordered forms. In doing research I also called organizations, and did fieldwork. One of the first articles I got published was a shop review. I went to the store, tried to inconspicuously take notes, and wrote up a feisty review. I also went to a bunch of dance lessons, evaluated them and typed up the Visitor’s Corner – a section devoted to fun things visitors to Beijing can do.
