My View: Social Media’s Impact On Journalism

Well, I'm one blog post (this one) away from finishing my first semester of grad school.

From shooting and editing to becoming a better writer …

Keeping the Brand Alive Through Storytelling

We all know the saying "what's in a name?" -- this week I'm diving into what's in a brand? As journalists we're use to being fair and balanced when it comes to the stories we tell ( at least we should be) it's a BIG part of the job.  There's no room for opinions or …

What A Time To Be A Journalist

In my Sophia Petrillo voice "picture it, the year 2018 and journalists are under attack.” Despite my Golden Girls humor it’s not a joke, it’s actually quite sad. Journalists are being threatened, physically assaulted and in some cases even killed. So, to answer this week’s blog question I have to say It’s not just a challenging …

JACKPOT: Winning With Big Data

Diary Of A Digital Addict

Right now, I’m sitting cozy in the pharmacy drive thru... don’t worry I’m just the passenger.  There’s no surprise that I’m spending this time waiting on my phone. The phone is my time filler for just about everything. As a matter of fact, I really can’t think of many times during the day when I'm without my …

Social Media: I Just Can’t Get Enough

Social Media- a term that we use all the time-- but do you really even know what it's all about? Sure Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are some of the biggest known social media platforms, but what is social media? Let me help you out here. Social Media sites allow users to engage with each other …

The Internet: It Just Keeps Getting Better!

Oh, look how far we've come since the early 90s when we all got our first taste of the internet. It was cool right? My first memories of surfing the web take me back to 1996. I remember coming home from school and there it was... our very own family computer. Yup mom had gone …
