The first week of this internship was somewhat slow. I spent Tuesday with Kallie who assists Renee through some of the day-to-day operations. On Tuesday we spent time learning how to post stories onto the website for the radio station. Learning how to navigate and properly post to the website I felt was not complicated. The actual website in terms of user navigation and tools is not that different from using other website domains like “Weebly or Wordpress”. My previous experience with the Daily Eastern News in this aspect was very useful a lot of the info in terms of navigation and how to post stories I basically already knew how to do. Renee unfortunately was out during the week because she had a surgery so I did not get any one on one …show more content…
Thursday of last week on my own time I was brainstorming ideas to create a bigger spotlight around the website and the Facebook page. Some of the ideas I have are to create a video possibly each week to post on Saturday to give people the quick rundown of all the scores from the games on Friday and Saturday. I then thought about looking into using “Facebook live” to get a bigger buzz and to keep locals updated on the games in the area. This next Friday will be a perfect opportunity to do so because I will be covering two games. Because I am covering two games I won’t be able to stay at a full game my job will be to gather photos and video and to update Michelle about the games. I plan to brainstorm with Renee and discuss the use of “Facebook live” in reporting and keeping the Facebook page more active during games on Friday nights. Overall, I found the week to be productive however I did not feel like I succeeded much in creating a real stir on the social media side of things. As I’ve learned throughout my time in different public relations classes’ audiences are unpredictable at times I definitely feel that way currently. The post itself only reached at this point and time 686 people in comparison to other posts that have reached far more people in at the very least the 1000’s. Hopefully, by incorporating Facebook live and maybe other applications we can create more
In today’s society new forms of technology have enhanced and in some cases replaced traditional methods of promoting a product. The sports industry, in particular, can utilize these emerging technologies to reach their customers in new and improved ways. This new media merges traditional forms of media such as audio, video and written word with interactive digital technology (Parkhouse, 2012 p. 184). New media includes not only computers, laptops and smartphones, but also all software applications and platforms. Additionally, cross platform software such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram are utilized at an increasing rate as due to the desires of today’s technological society. Many teams use blogging, which provides a venue to hear directly

Comments: Overall Day 1 went well with minor administrative error that was corrected the same day. Not a show stopper.
Ever since I started talking this class, English 1301, with Dr. Piercy, I have been able to expand my writing and thinking skills. Not only was I able to make more better essays but I also learned important topics such as how education creates an impact in the world. In this essay I will be talking about three writings and how they are related to this course semester. The three writings are “On Bullshit” by Harry Frankfurt, “Why I Write Bad” by Milo Beckman,and “Statement of Teaching Philosophy” by Stephen Booth. How are these 3 writings related to this semester’s course work?
My internship with the small business, The Cambridge Professional Center, LLC located in Morristown, NJ was a uniquely incredible experience. During my time at the center, I was able to work on a range of different projects, like publishing a book to sitting in and partaking in therapy sessions; consequently, I was able to explore, in the real world, the two fields I want to major in, Psychology and English. Although I have only interned at the center for three weeks or 78 hours, this experience has taught me a great deal about others and myself; furthermore, the senior project has shown me what I want to do in the future. In fact, brainstorming and writing this paper has helped me reflect and analyze on my personal growth throughout this experience.
According to Nair (2011), “The social media property on the web is exploding and fast becoming a necessary part of the arsenal of any organization. It took 38 years for the radio to attract 50 million listeners, and 13 years for television to gain the attention of 50 million viewers. The Internet took only four years to attract 50 million participants, and Facebook reached 50 million participants in only one-and-a-half years. Facebook, which was originally designed for Harvard students and launched in 2004, has become a phenomenal example of social engagement. By 2009, Facebook had already achieved 100 million monthly active users covering age groups from 13 to 65; by the end of 2010, there were more than 500 million users. (p. 46) With so many people connected through social media and since businesses are dependent on people to thrive, they have been impacted both positively and negatively.
If we think about the Nineties, business enterprises used newspaper, television and radio as mediums for publicizing. We have come a long way since then; now companies can ask their consumers to ‘Like’ their pages and ask them to ‘Share’ the page among their friends and relatives. Today social media is the highlight of everyone's lives and we can all thank Mark Zuckerberg for setting up a network of 1.2 billion of prospective friends, Facebook.
This week was very exciting in terms of my informational interviews and being able to work security at a music event. The informational interviews not only helped being the classroom to the real world but also provided me with real examples to better strengthen the connection. I also learned a lot in terms of dealing with the public in a busy environment and how to most successfully defuse a situation in which alcohol and attitudes are involved.
One aspect I really disliked was that the silences made me really nervous and it led me to ask closed-ended questions. Even though I wrote down the questions I needed to ask before hand as open-ended questions when I actually said them to him I asked them as closed-ended questions. This led him to be able to answer my questions in one-word answers, which led to more silence. However, I was able to rephrase my questions and asked for more information when needed. At the end of the session I made sure to thank him for participating (the little that he did), because I could tell it was hard for him. Even though I was really nervous about working with a child it went okay and I felt like I received some new information from him. Another aspect of the internship, I liked this week was that I was able to do drug test training online and was able to receive a certificate. I will be able to put this on my resume and be able to use this in my future career. I will also be able to administer drug test on clients whenever needed. I actually really enjoyed doing the tests and found it really entertaining on a slow
The business used for my internship this semester was Hyatt Place in Rogers, Arkansas. This location was once an AmeriSuites that was renovated into a Hyatt Place.

A person’s life is reflected on Facebook. Because so much of someone’s life is on Facebook, anyone can have a sense of what is going on in their life. This is beneficial for parents away from their children in college or just away from the nest. A visual image is more attractive than reading a lengthy blog about an individual's day. With Facebook someone can post albums at a time and can share a special event that just recently occurred. Instant messaging has improved the speed that users can communicate with each other. If they see that their friend is online all that needs to be done is a message with the word “Hey.” Facebook allows for users to connect with friends time zones away.
It has been a while since I started at the internship and I am really glad I decided to work here. I think the experience in this area is a good preview of my career and future. I am learning some important skills and finding out some things about myself and the tough skin I will need in order to stay in the area of juvenile support.
With the ability to track location and post on profiles in line with the activities that the users engage in frequently, it seems the new trend makes the users to post the daily occurrences of their personal lives to Facebook and other related social networking sites. Even though Facebook may seem time consuming and addictive, users have different ways of interacting with others using the website by logging in at different times to see the new postings on their Facebook page. Initially, one could feel curious why many users feel they always have to inform their Facebook friends about their daily activities in a span of a few hours. However, Facebook has turned into an online diary in which users can track down their activities, moods, and preferences. Furthermore, it appears as if several people currently put most of their personal matters or intimate information surrounding their ways of life on such websites for others to comprehend. Hence, Facebook as a social networking site rapidly grew into a Popular Culture artifact even though people still spend most of their time getting busy with their daily activities, such as working, schooling, and attending to children. With the advancement in technology, even employees in the modern-day business world feel the need to improve and learn more about other people, countries, cultures, situations, as well as competing with them globally (Greenwood
