At church, my sister and I were singing in the choir prior to pre-Covid-19). Now, I am currently praise dancing and fulfilling my Trustee duties.
INTENTION STATEMENT
Over the next 12-months, I hope to learn all of the survival skills needed to become an influential News Media Journalism from Full Sail University. In the first four months throughout my Mastery Journey, I hope to achieve and maintain patience and being peaceful. I have several new and highly intelligent professors, a strict curriculum, an abundant number of resources, and five-star standards, I don’t want to murmur about the lengthy assignments or reading selections. I want to maintain peace with my instructors, colleagues, and myself without being argumentative, depressed, or angry like gifted Mozart. He was busy trying to fulfill his father’s career for himself instead of listening to his inner voice and thus becoming depressed until his transformation (Greene 175).
In the eight months, I plan to be more precise, factual, accurate, knowledgeable, placid, calm when I am completing an assignment. During my first assignment, I was nervous. I wasn’t sure of the lighting of the light, my speech, or time-speed. I was not calmed because I was thinking about how was I going to upload the video. (Watch the video) With the help of Mastery, I will be more precise, and placid in my future videos.
In the twelve months, I plan to be polished, sophisticated, well-practiced, and perfect. Perfect meaning without flaws when I am conveying the news to the public. I want to be flawless in words and deeds just like Mozart.
The night before the premiere in Prague of the Opera, Don Giovanni, Mozart had gone out drinking when his friends reminded him that he had not written the overture, he hurried home, and while his wife kept him awake by singing to him, he wrote one of the most popular and brilliantly conceived overtures in a matter of hours (Greene, 2012, p. 173).

INSPIRATIONAL POST
Sometimes, life can be hard and it can knock you down. I refuse to resort to deviant behavior, drink large amounts of alcoholic drinks, or take non-prescriptive street drugs, I look to JESUS CHRIST who is my Lord, and Savior, my refuge. I also get encouragement, renewal, and revitalization from all of his representatives like my Mom and Dad, Marilyn and John Jude, Pastor John Wesley McVicker, Sr., and others because they sat where I sat and they drank from the bitter cup that sits before me.
In research from David (1611), Psalm 46:1 states, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”
So, I found this video from the brave, bold, and brilliant Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to be a beacon of light in my time of sadness and sorrow. According to new research, (The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, 2015)., Dr. King reminds us to “have a deep belief in your own dignity and worth.” He adds, “Your life has ultimate significance. Say, I am black and beautiful. Be the best of whatever you are.”
According to new research, (The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change, 2015). He adds, “If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well. '”

Who's to blame? The media, Milwaukee Police Department, local officials, the Milwaukee citizens.
OVERARCHING CAREER GOAL
My overarching career goal is to become a news broadcast journalist for a local television station or work for DATELINE.
Graduation goals
My goals to accomplish upon graduation are as follows:
PASS with HONORS
Work as an INTERN in one of the local news stations or for DATELINE.
I will purchase a small RV for late-night stories.
Be a mentee under any influential journalist from the United States.
Steps used to Accomplish my Goals
I will use the following steps to accomplish my goals.
- Find out what the real problem is and what the need is, what is the story about and what solutions are needed?
- Organize a Design Thinking Team that can become fundamental in ideas. Have news writers, copy editors, feature editors working together to tell the news.
- Don't ask outsiders or sources for help. Focus only on the Design Thinking Team. Only go to my sources for help.
- Provide an effective workforce area and material. Use flip charts, case scenarios (acting skills), smartboards, etc. Create the story on paper or act it out and show the team.
- Be courageous and remember Failure is not Final. All stories might not go well. In the clip above, the father asked the reporter, "Can I talk?" Sometimes the stories may not be harmonious.
- Think outside the box. Welcome crazy ideas and be willing to throw non-profitable ideas away, even if they are my own. Listen to others. Be willing to accept new ideas.
- Start a prototype. Develop something with your hands. Be innovative, creative.
- Be Open-minded. Think outside of the box. If it is a better fit for the customer, then use it. Tell the story and still be open-minded. Whatever is best for the story, use it.

Suppose I choose to work for a news station or Dateline. In that case, this book will be an asset because it will help me capture the audience's attention by telling the story, creating the scene, and solving the case will keep the audience fascinated, fixated, and focused on the outcome. Hopefully, audiences will broaden, ratings will go up, and the case's merits will solve case issues.

Christ The King Baptist Church Watch Night Service Closing Prayer and Benediction,
As we end our celebrations today, we pray...
Heavenly Father, over this past year, many have suffered much, loved much, and lost much. We have dreamed and watched dreams fade away unfulfilled. The silence sometimes overwhelms us, and the past shouts at us. Lord, we surrender our hearts to you this night and ask that the light of your love illuminate our paths this year. Help us be ambassadors of your love to all we encounter so that through our witness, your kingdom will come here on earth as it is in Heaven. Amen.
2022 is a new year of sacrifices, seasons, and sweet relationships. Thank you, Jesus, for the newness in our careers, Christ-like mannerism, and charisma to get everything done according to your Glory in Heaven. Jesus, for this, I thank you for 2022. We have another opportunity to get the job done right.
Lord, we thank you for our sweet friendships and families.

Interactive Media + Mastery Journal Entry
This course met my original objective because it allowed me to think outside the box. When I was a News Writer and News Editor for UW-Parkside Ranger News, I was able to pick and choose which ones to cover from scholarships jeopardized to the public scandal of a particular professor making sexual advances to the students and was on trial. However, this course made me think of a topic feature and pursue it. The transition was challenging but not conquerable.
I learned a lot from the course content. Dr. Carsens’ videos and stories that I have already posted gave me a lot of knowledge. The items I posted were small compared to the notes I had written in my notebook, from writing a press release, knowing my audience, interviewing techniques, and emphasizing storytelling.
Mr. Ken McArthur said, “ Be personable, helpful, enjoyable. Ask questions. Be human, nice, interesting, use their jargon, share media, pictures, videos, and reports. They will connect with you.” The articles and videos guided me in the right direction from being a mediocre reporter to a well-rounded reporter. I can apply all of those strategies personally and professionally, especially professionally. Talking to clients, writing stories, creating the scene for the audience, and teaching at least one concept that I have learned from the event.
According to UpWorthy, I must emphasize storytelling by explaining the characters, emotion, surprise, structure, and meaning when I am telling a story. It’s always good to learn the Data behind the stories like the audience, medium, cramping, actions, and habits. I want to have the Mason Wartman mentality.
A former worker from Wallstreet, Wartman opened up a pizza parlor in Philadelphia. If a customer bought a slice of pizza, then the same customer could buy a post-it, write on it, and put it on the wall for an extra dollar. The story is that hungry customers could redeem the “wall” posts for a free meal. The giving was subtle but powerful, and that is how I want my writing to transpire to my readers.

Case Brief from Legal Aspects of Law
Johnny Depp was one of my favorite characters in 21 Jump Street.
John Christopher Depp II v (1) News Group Newspapers Ltd, and (2) Dan Wootton, EWHC 2911 (QB) The court, High Court of Justice Decided, November 2nd, 2020 Argued, June 1st, 2018 By Latesha Jude
ISSUE
Whether or not News Group Newspaper slandered Johnny’s Depp name by calling him a wife-beater in questioning the Fantastic Film for hiring him as an actor.
RULE
According to the Legal Information Institute, “Defamation is a statement that injures a third party's reputation. The tort of defamation includes both libel (written statements) and slander (spoken statements).” “To prove prima facie defamation, a plaintiff must show four things: 1) a false statement purporting to be fact; 2) the publication or communication of that statement to a third person; 3) fault amounting to at least negligence, and 4) damages, or some harm caused to the person or entity who is the subject of the statement.”
ANALYSIS
Depp filed a lawsuit against the News Group Newspapers, the sun publisher, for libel, accusing him of being a woman-beater. The woman-beater allegation stems from his background with his wife, Amber Heard. The slander is when the newspaper printed, “On 27 April 2018,[20] The Sun published an article by its executive editor Dan Wootton on its website titled: "GONE POTTY How Can J K Rowling be "genuinely happy" casting wife-beater Johnny Depp in the new Fantastic Beasts film?" Johnny Depp and his wife Amber Heard were married in Los Angeles in 2015. The couple had been dating each other for three years, starting in 2012 before they married. Amber filed for a divorce and a temporary restraining order from Johnny on May 23rd, 2016, for physical and verbal abuse throughout their three-year relationship. From the slander connotation, Depp was unable to film in the new Fantastic Beast film because he claimed that “the articles had aimed to convince their readers that he had been guilty of domestic abuse as well as to compare him to convicted abusers such as Harvey Weinstein, and to plea Rowling to drop him from the Fantastic Beasts film” Thus, Depp dropped from the film. The lawsuit was a mechanism to clear his name from his ex-wife’s lies. At trial in England, Depp claimed that his wife was the abuser by throwing objects at him. She said she was trying to get away from him in her defense. He was under the influence of drugs and alcohol and became violent. He disagrees. At trial, NGM presented 14 incidents of Depp being violent. Eighteen people testified on behalf of Johhny, but the court listened to the six people testifying for Heard. According to Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia, “On 2 November 2020, Mr. Justice Nicol found that assaults were proven to the civil standard in 12 of the 14 incidents reported by NGN, [58] and this with the overarching considerations was sufficient to show that The Sun's article was substantially accurate on the balance of probabilities.
CONCLUSION
[1] The verdict found that while Depp had successfully proved that the articles had been damaging to his reputation, his claim of libel had failed as the articles had been "substantially true.” [3][2] The court found no evidence to support Depp's claim of a hoax, [91][2] stating that "if Ms. Heard had been constructing a hoax there are various measures which she might have taken, but which she did not.” After all of the testimonies, the court concluded that there was no evidence to support Depp’s claim that Heard was the aggressor in the relationship, and New Group Newspaper slandered his name. At trial, Both Heard and Depp agreed to a settlement in August 2016. In January 2017, their divorce was official. Depp paid Heard 7 million dollars, and she promised to give money to two charities, Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles and American Civil Liberties Union.
CLASS REFLECTION ANALYSIS
CLASS REFLECTION ANALYSIS
By Latesha Jude
In my class, Legal Aspects of Media, my favorite assignment was reading and briefing the case about Johnny Depp. I enjoy briefing cases, but I enjoyed reading all of our issues from Freedom of Speech, Slander, Defamation of Character, Copyright laws, and more. Some content was longer than others, but analyzing the case brought a sense of joy to me. Briefing the case about Johhny Depp taught me how people have different personalities and perspectives in front and behind the camera, and one has to know which character they are marrying.
The course topics discussed this month that were the most helpful to me as a communication professional were the readings and videos. Content words like libel, slander, defamatory statements, and the truth can keep me focused on telling the story and not giving my biased approach. Untruthful words in print or spoken aloud can defame the interviewee. Those words can also damage my credibility as a reporter. Defamation-Key Elements of a Claim, Privileges, Defenses in Defamation Cases, Social Media and Online Defamation, and State Law Defamation are all important because they allow me to be professional. When I am interviewing someone, I need to be unbiased and careful with my speech in oral and written so that I won’t defame them or tell the wrong story.
The knowledge that I acquired this month will prepare me to handle potential legal issues in the communication industry by reviewing the Federal Trade Commission Act, also known as the FTC. Section 5 of the FTC discusses unfair or deceptive acts or practices that are unlawful. The Commissioner will carefully consider any evidence. For me to speak on behalf of my clients, I have to remember, “A failure to perform services promised under warranty or by contract can then be deceptive.” I must remember to tell the story and make sure it parallels the law.
Special thanks to Professor Maras for all of her thorough work. There was a lot of work, but I gained a lot of wisdom from it.

Course Analysis for Research and Investigative Skills Development
My three original goals for Research and Investigative Skills Development were as follows: Learning The Research Process, Investigating Sources, Source Evaluation, and Data Presentation and Interpretation. My expectation for the course was to improve my journalism skills from writing a story to interviewing and then using any data analysis to prove my story and finally present my unbiased tale to an audience. The three most helpful information that I learned during the course were, initially, Preparing for Expert Interviews from Discovery to Recovery. Discovery is discovering new information, while recovery is adding available information. Next, Prepare a Purpose. Focusing on the Audience. The audience needs to know this information because the audience cares about the data and thus writes the article.
Finally, contact the expert. Let the expert understand the day, time, length of the interview. Will the discussion be in person, over the phone, via email, google meet or zoom? If needed, I can ask to record the interview. Find a convenient and quiet location for the interview. The knowledge that I required prepared me for my journalistic career by helping me with the basics. Researching the Expert. It is always good to look at the career, background. Relevant experiences and other experiences. Research his interests, biases, etc. It is best to research his publications or other works. I did not know that it is essential to research a topic before starting an interview. Researching the topic will clarify during the interview, letting the expert know that you are clueless about the subject. Like a teacher in a classroom, some students may have a bad morning and come to the school with a bad attitude or be deceitful. If the interviewee has a lousy mood, explain
that the data has already been collected, and then rephrase one of the questions to get an accurate answer. I liked including the infographics and hyperlinks to the story, making it more interesting.
Tom Brokaw on "The Daily Show" with Jon Stewart.
I could see his passion during the story when he reviewed the tape of Donald Trump eating pizza with Sarah Palin in New York City. According to Stewart, the news clip scene displayed Stewart's reaction to Trumps' hospitality towards Palin, from choosing the pizza restaurant to Trump's eating etiquette or lack thereof.

The best video on YouTube! Thanks, Professor Sharon.
Words to remember from Professor Sharon.
̈ Always shoot all of your video interviews and B-roll [Common examples include the footage used to cut away from an interview or news report to help tell the story.] with your camera on a tripod.̈
What an informative video!
Kudos to Dr. G. Powers, a phenomenal co-teacher/Substitute Teacher, for an excellent assignment!
The Production Company is Apple TV.
The program where it aired is on YouTube.
The video discusses friendship v. marital prison. Will explains his relationship with his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith, with Oprah.
He talks about his four-hour communication with Jada, which allows them to unite and work through their issues.
Will admits that ¨I have never met another person I connect with in conversation more blissfully and productively than Jada.¨
Three things I like about the video are the openness of the conversation. Oprah did not have many questions for Will, but she allowed him to speak freely about his marriage with Jada. Secondly, I like how Oprah researched the 40th Birthday party. There was a transformation in Will when Oprah reiterated to Will during the 40 Birthday Party that Will realized that he would no longer be in a relationship trying to make her happy.¨ Thirdly, I like how Oprah made him relax and comfortable when reviewing the book and asking him open-ended questions.
The most memorable part of the video was when Will told Jada, ¨Iḿ going to do me. Find what makes you happy.¨ He added that they never officially separated. Their marriage was an illusion demanding one person in the marriage is broken, and the other person is supposed to make the other one whole. In their marriage, Jada-broken, and it was Willś responsibility to make her whole. Will said he was no longer doing that anymore. Jada has to find her happiness.
I learned that Cutaway shots differ from reporting to film. I enjoyed watching this great clip on Cutaway shots.

Summary Evaluation
Robin Robert's interviews with Chris Brown were disappointing.
Roberts focused on her past interview experience with Chris in regards to his aggressive behavior towards Rihanna two years ago. The problem was that Roberts wanted to focus on the past-felony assault and his relaxed restraining order. At the same time, Chris focused on the present, his new CD called FAME., Forgiving All My Enemies, And Fans are My Everything. If an interviewee has to remind the interviewer about the purpose of the interview, then the discussion is unprofessional.
There was not a clear purpose of the interview. Robin wanted to focus on his restraining order being lifted and his felony assault that happened two years ago. Chris' interview session was an ambush. He told her twice, "I have been focusing on this album. I want people to hear and get into, so this album is what I want them to talk about, not the type of stuff that happened two years ago."
Robin said, "I understand that…." However, she did not understand. Robin's attitude was not professional or successful because he kept referring to his new album, FAME, and not Rihanna.
3. Robin's questions were repetitive, and they were neither justified nor effective because she stated as soon as they spoke, "Have you all been around each other? Have you seen each other?" Initially, she said, "Chris Brown is riding high. Brand new cd out called FAME…." She's talking about his CD, and then she brings up questions about Rihanna. He refused to answer her questions, so she asked him again. "How have you been able to move on?" Furthermore, he added, "I have been focusing on this album." Robin's questions to Chris were not justified. She wanted to go down memory lane about interviewing Chris, showing past videos of being in his home, looking at his closet, remembering what the judge said, and more. She was in Chapter One, while Chris was in Chapter Three and refusing to turn back the page. Thus, Robin's questions were not justified or effective.
5. The interview was more about the interviewer expressing an opinion about Chris' past troubled life. Robin did not elicit compelling information from the source about Rihanna. Her emotional reaction was when she finally said, chuckled, "I understand that, and thank you for allowing me to ……." He had to reiterate, "This album is what…." Robin's strategy was not effective at all. Her ambush made her look like a lousy reporter.
Important Facts
https://thewritepractice.com/what-to-do-when-your-interviewee-wont-talk-to-you/
Jeff Goins agrees:I NEVER interview people who don’t want to talk. What would be the point? You’re not a celebrity stalker; you’re a blogger. If certain people don’t value the kind of organic exposure you’re giving them and their message (and plenty don’t), then you could be spending your time in better ways. Frankly, there are a lot of high-profile leaders and communicators who will say “yes” to an interview. Most, in fact. (That’s what I’ve found, anyway.) Porter sums it up nicely, “There are people who will feel your outlet is too small, but I don’t think you want those people anyway. Maybe they’ve just gotten a little too big. You can do without them.”
For writers, interviews produce ideas, voice, and more. But in an interview, you want to have a conversation, not an interrogation. A good interviewer makes their interviewee comfortable.
This youtube video is a prime example of ambushing your interviewee. An interviewer should not behave like this during an interview.
Never ask, “What keeps you up at night?” Ask “What’s going to keep you up tonight after this interview?” –Porter Anderson

Essential journalistic tips to remember
. Try to interview in person. If you can’t, do it over the phone. If you can’t do it over the phone, interview by email. This is the general rule, as veteran journalist Porter Anderson says, “Face-to-face is best. A phoner is the next choice. If neither of those is possible, you use e-mail.”
All liars should be interviewed in person. “Hands down, I prefer to interview people in-person,” says Tor Constantino. “At least 50% of communication is non-verbal—you need those unspoken cues to know whether or not you’re being lied to.” Noted: Any time you’re interviewing a liar, meet them in person. Or maybe avoid interviewing liars in general.
“I prefer to interview via email, so that I don’t have to transcribe it later,” says blogger Jeff Goins. “I literally have hours of unedited audio on my computer that has never been published in any form. Really sad. The easiest way to interview people is email.” That is sad, Jeff. The world needs those interviews.
Sports reporter Morgan Lee says, “Email is your last option—though it can be time-saving and should not be totally disregarded.”
“It’s easier to interview a rushed individual in person,” Tor says. “You just keep walking with them while your camera or tape recorder is still rolling. I’ve gotten on elevators with newsmakers and into cabs with them to get the interview.” First you’re interviewing liars, then you’re stalking people in elevators? Tor, when you said you were a journalist, did you really mean secret agent?
Local reporter Marissa Villa says, “When you interview in person you get a better sense of people. You get details that you can’t get over the phone. You can see their eyes well up with tears, see where they live, see them lovingly look at their dead loved one’s picture.”
“ Q&A interview is call-and-response, not a conversation,” Porter says. “And since Q&As can feel wooden, a bit lifeless, it works better in written form—you send questions, they send answers.” If you just need the facts, go for email.
Jeff has this great advice for bloggers who are both rushed and want better interviews: The easiest way to interview people, as I said before, is email. However, it’s also the least memorable for the interviewee and pretty impersonal. My preference is to send some questions ahead of time, then do a follow-up phone call or in-person meeting to get some live audio and to build the relationship.
“At the end of every interview,” says radio reporter Tor Constantino, “I always ask, ‘Is there anything I didn’t ask that you’d like viewers/readers to know?’ That single question has generated more golden quotes than any other.”
The Golden Rule from the Bible
Luke 6:31,Do to others as you would have them do to you. Bible
Journalist Application
11. It’s not about you. Finally, one last reminder from Porter: “Bottom line: Do for your interviewee what you’d like done for you if your roles were reversed.”
Great points!
From my weekend experience, I did learn that a reporter should always have a tape recorder. My nurse on Saturday morning, Kate, gave me some valuable information that can benefit many people. The nurses were wise, but Kate gave me a little more information. I also remembered King David´s words.
And David sware moreover, and said, Thy father certainly knoweth that I have found grace in thine eyes; and he saith, Let not Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved: but truly as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death., 1st Samuel 20:3.¨
You almost died,¨ said Nurse Kate.
Pastor John Wesley McVicker, Sr.,, said, ¨ People dont have to be nice and they don have to be nice to you.¨
Thanks for sharing a great article, Dr. Powers.
Effective Tips on How to Use Social Media Marketing
By Adam Ramirez on April 12, 2011 6:48 AM
FindLaw columnist Eric Sinrod writes regularly in this section on legal developments surrounding technology and the internet.
Initially, some companies were reluctant to embrace social media, perhaps being concerned about lack of control and other issues.
However, as the world truly has migrated to social media sites (with Facebook boasting hundreds of millions of users), there now is little doubt that most companies now want to embrace social networking as a way to get the word out about their products and services.
But, what are the best strategies for businesses to employ in the social media context?
Buddy Media, Inc. seeks to answer that question in its recent publication "Strategies For Effective Facebook Wall Posts: A Statistical Review."
For example, one issue examined by the report is the best timing for posting content on Facebook. And interestingly, it turns out that companies that post content outside of normal business hours experience a 20% higher engagement rate on their posts.
In addition, Thursdays and Fridays tend to be the best days of the week to post content, as the "happiness index" for users peaks toward the end of the week. And weekends can be effective days for posts, yet many businesses avoid the weekends. Monday is the least effective day for posting.
Also, the paper indicates that it is important to keep business posts "short and sweet." Posts that are less than 80 characters have a 27% higher engagement rate than longer posts. Yet, only 19% of such posts are less than 80 characters. So, remember to keep it simple.
Furthermore, URL shorteners can be bad news, as full-length URLs result in engagement rates three times higher. Users know that a URL such as www.buddymedia.com will take them to the Buddy Media website, whereas a shortened URL like http://tinyurl.com/yhlw3c6 does not make clear where the user will be directed if she clicks on that link.
And, posts that end with a question cause 15% higher engagement rates, because they seek action from users.
Businesses would be smart not only to market appropriately via social media, but they should think how best to do so.

Course Evaluation
https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/ginuwinesqueen
Three of my original expectations from the class were learning from supplemental technologies, attending future workshops by the school, and completing chapter tests in Linked in Learning.
Three things I learned from the class this month are as follows: when posting on YouTube should post between 2 pm and 3 pm on weekdays and weekends. Videos should be one to two minutes long, which increases being viewed 75% of the time, and ask questions in your description to enable comments.
One way the information I learned in SME this month will help me in my journalist professional career as a journalist is not duplicate comments on social media. Change my style when writing on different social media posts to prevent my audience from becoming bored.
About LinkedIn, I learned that there are 414 million users. 61% range from 30-64 years old. 56% of users are male. 44% have a college degree and earn $75,000 per year.
According to YouTube Insisting New Bread of Journalism, “Videos of natural disasters tend to draw the most attention.”
“The difference, Pew notes, is that sites YouTube provide first an “A la Carte news letting users choose their programming.”
From the article, Using Reddit for Journalism, I learned that there are 200 million users. “Over 16 billion page views per month.
69% of Redditt users are men.
58% of users range from 18 to 29 years old. One visit is about 15 minutes for most users.
Redditt also uses a lot of abbreviation codes. OP-Original Poster, TIL is Today I Learned, and AMA stands for Ask Me Anything.
3. From How to use Linkedin, Do not write, “Check out my latest posts.” Get straight to the point. Tell people the subject matter and write concise comments. Do not use a headline as your article post.
Can PR people and business journalists mend their fractured relationship?
From restricting interviews to outright lying, PR staff are finding ways to steer reporting or block it altogether
https://express.adobe.com/sp/design/page/urn:aaid:sc:US:a40b522b-ef27-4bd1-9bcc-2831fae14e7f
That disparity is likely to get worse—“employment of public relations specialists is projected to grow 7 percent from 2019 to 2029, faster than the [4 percent] average [growth] for all occupations,” according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. “Overall employment of reporters, correspondents, and broadcast news analysts is projected to decline 11 percent from 2019 to 2029,” according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Declining advertising revenue in radio, newspapers, and television will negatively affect the employment growth for these occupations."
There is not only a disparity of trust between PR and Business Journalism, but the pay is different too.
The pay in public relations is also better than journalism, leading many reporters and editors to switch careers. According to the Pew Research Center, for every $1 in salary made by a public relations professional, a journalist makes just 65 cents.
When will the war end?
The result is that companies are increasingly hiding behind their public relations staff, ignoring requests from business reporters for information and interviews, or going on the offensive and attempting to change the focus of a story or issuing statements to reporters that don’t answer the issues addressed in a reporter’s questions. Public relations professionals are now recommending that the companies they represent stop inviting business reporters to events such as annual investor meetings or simply refuse to talk with them. In some cases a public relations person will lie or obfuscate the truth."
Kudos to Professor Rodrigo for a great article. Revelation became apparent with the war between PR and Business Journalism.
How journalists can start creating a personal brand online
As our work and home lives merge on social media, what do reporters have to remember when posting and networking on different platforms?
Clarify who you are, and what you stand for Shahab Anari, personal branding strategist, explained that journalists who know their "unique promise of value" – what differentiates them from other professionals – will find it easier to elevate themselves on social media, as they will know exactly who they are targeting and therefore develop a stronger fan base."
"Reporters should remember 'clarity, consistency and constancy' when they are developing a brand online," he said."
He explains that journalists should follow the 80/20 rule, publishing 80 per cent professional content and 20 per cent personal, ensuring they are scrupulous about knowing who is reading what they are posting."
Remember you're always broadcasting
Rory Cellan-Jones, BBC Technology correspondent,
It’s now difficult to keep my professional one going because I use my personal account for both business and personal reasons," he said. "Over the years, I've learnt that it’s fine to mix personal and professional. But certainly on Twitter, even the personal is to some extent another branch of your professional life. It's broadcasting, so I always say that as a BBC employee, you’ve got to follow the same rules as you would on BBC 5Live.”
Check out this advice for crafting a professional Twitter bio.
Andy Dickinson, digital journalism lecturer at the University of Central Lancashire, agreed, adding that it's important for today’s young journalists to be aware that any mistakes made, however unintentional, can put professionals in a negative light and could possibly damage a career.
"I always ask my students, 'if you saw you on Facebook, would you give you a job?' – that's what they really have to think about," he said."
Have fun with it If you're not enjoying using social media, your audience will see it, explained Jespersen. "Inject your personality, whether you are sarcastic or upbeat or quizzical, into your social media posts – readers and colleagues want to connect with you, not a hollow version of you," she said.
“But now you can, and should have, an identity that makes you interesting to read – but remember that doesn’t have to be a complete representation of you, as you might not want to project some of your personality online."
Network, network, network
Dickinson recommended that students start a blog on Tumblr, Medium or Wordpress for example, as "a great place to plant a flag for yourself on the net – a place you can control and call your own".
But he also emphasized the importance of getting involved in conversations around the web and not just pushing out your content all the time.

Long-Form Video Stories and Livestreams Although people may be turning away from the TV, they aren’t turning away from long-form content. In fact, on YouTube, a platform that has over 1.8 billion users, videos that are 20 minutes or longer are performing better than the short-form videos of 2 minutes or less.

Inciteful, inclusive, and informative; thanks for sharing the video and articles, Professor Sharon.
In truth, the beginning can be anywhere. What matters is clearing the path beforehand, accepting sacrifice before reward. Biting the bullet. Sucking it up. Here are a few things that must be cleared out of your path:
Procrastination
he best help in this area is a schedule that delineates working time and non-working time — and rigid adherence to that schedule. If the working time you set for yourself goes from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., with two or three breaks spaced between those hours, then stick to the schedule. If you prefer a more liberal structure to the working day, fine. Regardless, work when the schedule says “work,” and nothing less.
Distraction
This tends to provoke procrastinate and in general comes in the form of television, video games, social media, peripheral noise and activity, among other things. Remove them, or somehow set them aside, and keep them there. Author Anne Lamott says, “Turn off Twitter. … And don’t clean house.” Author Carl Hiaasen wears noise-dampening headphones when he writes.
Attend to small details early and the bigger ones that arise later will be easier to handle.
Surprises
Generalization
They took the time to research the marketplace for needs not already addressed, or rarely so, by other freelancers. They chose specialization and hewed closely to a small number of subjects, educating themselves each day on the finer details of those subjects.
Boredom
Freelancing should be fun, something you want to do every day.
What an informative article
Let sources know about your story, ask them to share it After you write a story, send it to the people you interviewed and ask them to post it on Twitter, Facebook and wherever else they’d like to share it.
Similarly, when posting stories to Facebook, mention sources’ names in your update. The update will then appear on the person’s Facebook page, increasing the chance that your story will reach their audiences. (You have to be Facebook friends with sources, or “Like” their fan pages, for this to work.)
That is a bright idea. I never thought of doing this.
In addition to including sources in my tweets, I sometimes include people who I haven’t interviewed but who I think would be interested in a story. Recently, when tweeting a link to a Poynter.org chat about how journalists can use Tumblr to expand their brand, I cc’d Tumblr’s Mark Coatney on the tweet. He hadn’t been interviewed for the story, but I wanted him to be part of the discussion. He ended up retweeting my tweet and joining the chat.
If other news sites have reported on the topic you’ve covered, link to their work and let them know you’ve done so in a tweet.
Before writing a story, check and see who else has written about the topic. If you find related stories that were especially well-done, link to them in your story.
Comment on stories that have been written about the topic, and include a link to your story.
Just because you’ve tweeted a story once doesn’t mean you can’t tweet it again later in the day, especially if the story has been updated. To avoid repetition, write the second tweet differently and think about how you can reflect the discussion about your story.
Pull an interesting quote from the story and ask people for their response. Or, if there’s a particularly thoughtful discussion taking place in the comments section, point readers to it and ask them to weigh in.
Don’t expect immediate payoff without putting in work up-front. Without solid credibility on social networks, you can tweet or post until your fingers hurt and still not get anyone to click your links or pass them along. Spend some time building your following and making it so that when you post something, someone somewhere will be watching. —Oskar Garcia

The original timeline goal for the course was to learn about reporting the news, Mass Media Journalism. This course met the original objective because one became a knowledgeable reporter. Many learned examples of tone issues, good examples, and bad examples, as well as pronoun examples, good examples, and bad examples. For instance,
Bad example, Everyone knows that social media have led to the development of social issue movements across the globe over the past several years, which has caused significant problems for governments worldwide because everybody is organizing using these various platforms. Still, no one is in charge, and there is no unifying issue or alternative to the government or powers in place.
Good example: Research results show that the Occupy Movement uses Twitter to organize demonstrations in NYC and San Francisco (Doe, 2011).
Further, Gallup polls reveal that 63% of Americans believe the Occupy Movement lacks clear leadership and has no unifying vision of the future (Smith, 2011). Pron.
Applying what one has learned from any class personally and professionally will strengthen and enhance their writing, editing, interviewing, and reporting skills. Professor Sharon emphasized that writing and reporting the news is not a sprint but a marathon.
Dr. Carstens taught his students how to pace themselves. One could complete the assignments and read the materials in an equal amount of time. Avoiding copyright issues is also essential to making original videos and not plagiarizing. If needed, it is always important to get permission from the original producer of the video is always essential.
According to one of the online articles, “It is equally important to say everything three times.” Note it in the thesis as a whole, within each chapter/section, and with each paragraph. Remember, it is not repetition, but it is linking and rationale.
There is also a difference between repetition and redundancy. Repeating vital terms emphasize major points and show that the position or point is still supported. Repetition gives paper cohesion.
Students learned so much more. Special thanks to Dr. Carstens for being a knowledgeable teacher.
