#19 Classmate Blog Critique

-


Throughout the entire course of assignments, I have always taken a look at my other classmate’s assignments just to get a good glimpse of what a "almost perfect" blog should look like. I have enjoyed reading and listening to every single one of my classmate’s blogs throughout this semester. There was one blog that completely grabbed all of my attention throughout this entire semester and it happened to be Sydney Wader! I was drawn to the level of consistency she had, her readily available pictures and videos, and her amount of effort that she put into each assignment. When you first open her blog she has pictures next to the title of the particular topic, which can already help readers feel engaged even before reading the actual blog. Before Sydney comes up with what her blog post is going to be about it seems as if she finds things to talk about that interest her. She implements her own sense of style into each one of her blog post. For example, for assignment #15 (Entertainment or Popular Culture) she starts off her lead sentence by saying, "I'm always listening to music whether it be doing homework, driving, relaxing, cooking, etc." Her stating this as her lead sentence let me know that she takes great interest in the topic that she chose for this particular blog post.

 


   Throughout her blogs she creates a great amount of links, videos, and pictures. I also feel like her inclusion of social media, her analytical perspective and her news-writing abilities has allowed her to be a high quality writer. Overall Sydney has done a great job of creating and immersive multimedia experience with the help of her interactivity and consistency. Lastly, Sydney has done a great job of creating her own digital imprint and she is now one step closer to becoming a future multimedia analyst.

#20 Visual Journalism

  My Track & Field Journey at SAU Track and Field doesn’t get as much recognition or hype as football or basketball would.  However, track is an extremely competitive sport and it's one of the only sports in which you compete against yourself. I have been running track ever since I was 10 years old. Being able to still run in college and being offered the opportunity to run track at Southern Arkansas University was a huge honor and blessing that I will forever cherish. From freshman year up until now my track career here at SAU has been an amazing journey. For my visual journalism presentation I decided to showcase what my track and field experience has been like so far here at SAU. Freshman Year 2018-2019        Coming in as a freshman, I was nervous about how I would perform. Here is a picture of my teammates and I at our first indoor track meet of the season in 2019. The man in the background happens to be our head coach!   Here's my teammates and I at our first outdoor

#10 Listening Post

   Decades ago most people typically received information or heard about something from listening to the radio, watching the news, or reading the newspaper. In today's generation those aren't ways that most people receive information. In today's generation it is so easy for someone to pick up their mobile device and open twitter, Instagram, snap chat, or any other form of social media. Social media is the new type of news. Information is not heard as much as it used to be through the news or radio. Its sometimes just seen with our own eyes. This leads me to talk about listening post. Listening post can be a various amount of things.     According to  Statistics ,listening post can mean "A point in process where companies can collect and analyze feedback from their consumers. Listening post are a way to conform or disprove that assumption by hearing feedback straight from the source". Listening post are mainly invaluable for understanding what customers truly think

  Ohio Public Records    As I stated in my last blog, public records are pieces of information that are not considered confidential and generally pertain to the conduct of government. It is also information that is recorded and stored by the government in which the public can have access to it. Public records can mean more than criminal records or driving records. Do you ever wonder what happens behind the scenes of public records? What does a public office have to do when it receives public record request?     A public office must organize and maintain its records to meet its duty to respond to public records requests and must keep a copy of its records retention schedule at a location readily available to the public. When it receives a public records request for specific existing records, the public office must provide inspection of the requested records during regular business hours or provide copies within a reasonable period of time. A requester is entitled to delivery of copi
