Mari Satoh, W14, Introductions



Hello everyone,
My name is Mari Satoh and I am a third year professional writing student at York University, currently enrolled in the institutional stream. I am also working on a minor in political science to obtain a background in politics as I am interested in writing news at some point in the future.  
In terms of researching, I would like to learn how to verify the authenticity and legitimacy of a source. While some sources may be biased or unethical, others may be beneficial to attain an understanding of certain concepts.
Furthermore, I would like to learn how one can type in the right search entries to find what they are looking for on the internet. I am interested in learning how to manipulate the results of the search by altering what I input into the search bar.

As of right now, I do not have a prior experience with radio or podcasting. Though the thought of creating my own short podcast episode intimidates me, I am also excited to see what the end product will look like. It is something new that I have yet to try, so I feel as if it would be a challenge that would not be in my normal comfort zone. Thus, I believe that I would gain the most amount of experience from trying something that I have not tried in the past.

The subjects I am interested in exploring are music, sports and theatre. Since I was young, I have always had a passion for different types of music from different eras and would love to explore artists, new and old. I enjoy checking out local rock cafes and country bars, and thoroughly appreciate learning about these new locations and crowds that they attract. Sports has always been a huge part of my life as I follow many on a regular basis, and would one day love to become a sports journalist if given the opportunity. Lastly, theatre would be a subject of interest for me as I enjoy watching operas and musicals.
