For You the Readers

By Thami Tshabalala

Bought to you by a group of awesome amateurs, Yellow Brick Rhode is aimed to please you, the readers. Yellow Brick Rhode consists of four funky fresh members who are here to give an insight of the same old idea`s from their own point of view. In order to make things more interesting we`ve opted to follow our theme of the Yellow Brick Rhode - which comes from a well know children`s story the wizard of Oz - by speaking through characters from the film itself. This not only gives us mystery but each character stands to represent something personal about us bloggers, allowing us develop a fantasy type theme to our blog.

The blog is a way for each of us to express our views and opinions of our desired genres. Ranging from sports to entertainment an art to gossip and politics, each category allows the blog to attract a diverse range of individuals. Everyone is thus given the chance to engage in their own personal preference, as well as engaging with what us at the Yellow Brick Rhode have to say. Yellow Brick Rhode is a space of free expression.

As journalism student it is our job to question the world and critically analyse what is being feed to us by the media. This blog can there for be seen as means of expression that is easily accessible to fellow journalism students and those who have an opinion to express. Voicing one`s opinion and questioning the media is very important as a journalism student. Journalist are the one`s society relies on to bring critical analysis’s of world issues that effects the public. However as a journalism student we are not given the opportunity to voice out our opinions on a large scale and interact with those who feel the same or disagree with our view points on issues. Now it is possible with Yellow Brick Rhode. Whether you are planning to disagree or agree or even write something completely irrelevant to the topic that opportunity is now available to you.

Journalism for journalism students is now a playground of expression and Yellow Brick Rhode is your playground. However Yellow Brick Rhode is not all work, it is also intended to entertain and give up dates of the fun an interesting events taking place around the country, so the best of both worlds can be expected. As students some issues are taken too seriously and tend to loss our interest for that reason. So even though issues will be critically analysed they will be done in such a way to keep you the reader both informed and entertained.

Yellow Brick Rhode is your playground.
