What should I select for my beat? 
This week for our VCSU Reporting Class we were asked to select a beat that you would like to cover – be sure about your selection and include a blog from someone in the profession.
The beat selection included: City Government -State Government - Business/Labor/Economy - Cops and Courts – Sports - K-12 Education - Higher Ed Education - Arts/Culture – Technology – religion - Transportation/Utilities - Public Service/non-profit - Healthcare
I pondered this decision. I live in South Florida where I love the weather yet the thought of reporting on it daily made me yawn. I work in higher education so that was removed from consideration. Then I thought, lets do something fun where I could research about things for my husband and I to attend / enjoy…Arts / Culture the perfect choice.
This is great! I can combine socializing and school work – this is definitely a win-win situation.
The decision made finding the right blog that I could also use as a resource was easier that I anticipated. The Palm Beach Post has several entertainment reporters who have blogs. My choice is Scott Eymans’s Culture Club.

The decision made finding the right blog that I could also use as a resource was easier that I anticipated. The Palm Beach Post has several entertainment reporters who have blogs. My choice is Scott Eymans’s Culture Club.
He covers more than TV, isn’t the “nightclub” blogger and is diverse in his coverage of events in South Florida. Today his blog was 2008 the year of the boring movie season. I must admit that I have to agree with him! At 9.00 a shot just to see a movie and 18.00 if you want to attend the Premiere at Muvico the movie has got to be good!
The next step – locate the fun stuff to do in Palm Beach County. I found the perfect web page for those visiting the area. Before you leave for South Florida or if you live here and are looking for some great things to do - check this site out. The Palm Beach County – Florida’s Cultural Capital it has a listing of upcoming events, the artist community and children’s events.
