At this week’s and my final JOUR1111 lecture, we learned about
journalism in blogging in business. He told us that your blogging can turn into
your own website, and you can turn that into your own business, which left me
wondering why I hadn’t been paid yet.
Obviously and sadly for the reader I already know this, but right
now blogging gives the creator the opportunity to pitch the story in any direction
they want, and to control the story.
Thankfully for you, I’m a bit shy on Twitter, although the
platform does allow you to talk to the people that make TV and as such, the
news, allowing directly dialogue with writers and editors. Perhaps I should spread my wings and use it a bit more
(bird pun intended).
It’s plain to see that at the moment that social media is
where the news is. Twitter is noisy and Facebook is blooming, which means that
using it can be classed as studying. And boy do I study hard.
