Posting #2
As of right now that subculture that I plan to write about is NABJ. This is an orginization here at Ball State which stands for National Association of Black Journalism. All races are welcome in the organization. The organization has a mixture of mostly journalism and communications majors. The group meets every Wednesday in the Letterman Building at 6pm. The meetings are held in a classroom, in which the memebers sit in the desk and the executive board sits at the front of the cassroom facing the members. I am an insider because I am a member of this organization. I think that there are a lot of new things that I will learn due to this assignment, simply because I probably never payed attention to it before. Things such as our "lingo" and certain things we do everyday are things I never thought about until now, so I know that there are going to be a lot of things that I am going to learn.

Student clubs and organizations are excellent subcultures to examine. :-) One thing that might be extremely important in your subculture, as you already mentioned, is the lingo or the language used. There are certainly lots of insider terms for journalism, but you can also really delved into how the meeting is conducted, the use of formal dialog vs. informal chats, etc. Nice topic.
