The Bubble Review

By Thobile Memela

Ever wondered what other journos are writing about in their blogs?. There really is no need to worry, it only just crossed my mind. I recently visited the Bubble blog and believe me it is 'bubble'. It is a group blog that consist of three members who are curious about life as much as you and I. Their main concern is about a life of a journalism student. It is not perfect neither not ridiculous but so damn good. First time i browse through it, i was like 'who the hell is going to read this junk?' Its like they are writing essays. I couldn't believe it but after a while i remembered that these bloggers are actually young aspiring journalists and journalists-in general are good at writing and expressing their intellectuality in paper-well on their blogs' so gave it a try because i read what i like and i really wanted to read it. but patiently i went through it, i was actually amazed. One thing i have noticed about this group is that they are all equally persistent to pursue a career in the journalism field -well reading from their personal mission statements. It was surprising to find such young intellectuals who actually care about writing and reporting regardless of how much criticism journalist have received more especially from the last five years up-to date. They all still have faith in journalism with no doubt of cracking stories that concern people but more reflectively varsity students for now-as to gain access to the real world out there after staying at Rhodes for the next four to five years.
