19 - Classmate Blog Critique

 

Classmate Blog Critique:

It comes to no surprise that my classmates have put in the time and work to have successful blogs. However, one stood out to me more than the others as their work and timing was highly impressive. Carley Hale although I haven't had a class with her before she blew me away this semester. Her website has a clean easy to read aesthetic. I like that her articles appear in a preview mode featuring a picture from there article to draw in readers. The main aspect of Carley's blog brings to the table is her level of creativity she brings to the topics. She always tries to bring her own personal flair to her assignments. One of my favorites from the semester was her blog #16 opinion piece on a local issue. She discussed how she formed a friendship with a international student named Giada who was a member of the tennis team here at SAU. She had a personal experience with someone who was effected by the restraints of Covid-19. 

By putting her own personal twist on her projects it takes her blog to a whole new level. Her blogs are typically a breath of fresh air as she covers topics in a way others haven't. Carley's wording has a flow to it making reading through her blogs enjoyable and leaves the reader wanting more. The amount of interactivity and well paired photographs bring a certain visual flair to her blog. 


Although I only discussed Carley's blog I wanted to congratulate everyone on a job well done! As many may have different circumstances that impair their learning experience everyone still put their best foot forward to their projects. Like I say every year I take a blog related course, I truly have enjoyed learning and reading my classmates writing style. Evolving from their first blog to the last it is so interesting to watch my classmates constantly improving their work throughout the semester. I can not wait to see how we evolve through our next semester and into the workforce.

1- Defining News

  What is News?  Everyone has a different definition of news whether it be sports, celebrity, or world events. News is defined as "newly received or noteworthy information, especially about recent or important events."  Something I didn't learn until this week is what news is short for, notable events, weather, and sports.  News varies from day to day but all anyone can talk about currently is politics with an upcoming election. The sad truth is that in today's society people around my age don't get their news from news networks. Let's be honest sometimes news can be extremely boring and newspapers are old news. News networks are learning how to adapt into a constantly evolving world of technology.  Video apps like Snapchat and Tiktok are bringing news to the younger generation in a creative way. Some news sources like E! and NBC have both started a snapchat subscription where they go over important events in a quick fashion. I think that NBC's Stay Tuned

20 - Visual Journalism

  Life of a Photographer:  I have mentioned a few times that one of my passions in life is photography. Throughout these past few weeks or so my photography business has been quite busy. From taking birthday photoshoots for fellow teammates to couple shoots for Christmas cards it has been a blast! Now the weather plays a key roll in shoot times and ideas. Living and working in Arkansas you never really know what the weather will be like. Something that I believe proves this is a shoot I did two weeks ago where it was warm enough for me and a client to get in water for some amazing photos!    This shoot idea was one I had been dying to try out and finally got a client excited for the idea! Funny enough I had to convince her that there were no leaches or giant carnivorous fish swimming in extremely shallow water.  Working with couples is probably one of my favorite things to do as a photographer! I love getting to know clients and their stories. This couples has been together for five ye
