The intrigued science enthusiast, devoted wife, and explorer, Deborah Netburn, has been quite an excellent journalist to follow. Although I have not responded to all of her posts, she has quite the plethora of science related research articles. I have been following Netburn for three months and she has always posted at least one article that interests me every time I access her LA Times website. Through her social media and articles I have learned so much without really feeling as though it were ever a tedious task.

After picking Deborah Netburn as my journalist, I decided to follow her on Twitter to get a better idea of what she is like. To understand her writing style, I read some of her tweets and the most prominent thing reflected in these was that she loves to explore. There were multiple pictures of her going to unique places and experiencing new exciting things. Travel has always peaked my interest. After learning about this, I felt content with my decision to follow her since I knew she would always have a variety of subjects to write about.
Other than travel, Netburn’s articles are always incredible. She writes about everything from dinosaurs to the method behind how balloons pop. These enthralling tidbits of information are exciting to learn about and make fantastic conversation starters. Syntax varies in each post. This makes each post a little bit different than the last one.
Overall, Netburn has been quite an amazing journalist to follow, and I can’t wait to finish out the rest of the project with her!
