Welcome to Survey of Professional Media

My name is Margaret Maloney. My major is Mass Communications and my minor is Spanish. I have had an interest in working in radio since I was in my freshmen year of high school. I made Spanish my minor because I really enjoyed learning the language and I wanted to continue on with it. My dream career is to be a Disk Jockey. If not, I would like to do anything involving radio. My only activity so far at Lindenwood University is the marching band. I have been a band kid since I was in the 5th grade. I couldn’t imagine what life would be like if I didn’t do any sort of band in college since I’ve spent so much time in grade school playing my French Horn. In the marching band, I play the Mellophone. It is the marching band version of the French Horn. Marching band is also my Work and Learn here. This school year, I’m excited about meeting new people, learning new things about my major, and myself. So far, I really like the people here and I really love the campus. I don’t watch a lot of T.V. That’s why I didn’t bring one with me to school. But I do have some favorite shows. My number one favorite show is Dog the Bounty Hunter. I think Dwane “Dog” Chapman is an amazing guy. He started out as a criminal, turned his life around, and became a bounty hunter. I think it is amazing that he always talks to the person he catches and inspires them to change their lives. I don’t have an exact favorite movie, but I do favor Julia Robert’s movies. I love Runaway Bride, Pretty Woman, Steel Magnolias, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Mystic Pizza, and many others. I think she’s an amazing actress. My favorite music of all time is hard rock. My all-time favorite band is Metallica. A lot of people stopped liking them because of their recent album, St. Anger. I believe that all bands somewhere in their career have or will put out a bad album. It just happens. I don’t care what people say, I’m still a fan. Other bands and singers I like are Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, REO Speedwagon, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, and many others.
