This semester is almost done and it is 7 days till Christmas. Can you guys believe it. This year and semester has had its ups and downs but I learned a lot. This class this semester was eye opening. I never knew how much work really goes on online to make journalism work, especially when making a website work and for having an audience.

This class taught me how to improve my blog for more people to read it. I did have this blog before my class and I never had anyone read it until this class. It taught me how to grab peoples attention and how to make the blog interesting for people to keep reading it. Before my blog was a boring brown color now it is a vibrant blue color and with really cool design through out. The class also taught me the importance of Journalism and that is not just about newspapers but that it is about everything around us.

This semester I meant some really cool people that I hope will be friends for life along with my other friend for life. Hope you all had a great semester and good luck on finals! Happy Holidays Everyone!

Hey peeps,

Pokemon Go debuted this summer and has taken the world by storm. It is a free-to-play, location-based augmented reality game developed by Niantic for iOS, Android, and Apple Watch devices.  Just recently Pokemon Go has expanded their PokeStops and Gyms to Starbucks. More than 7,800 Starbucks across the US will be added and when users visit Starbucks locations, they’ll now have the option to try a new Pokemon Go Frapauccino beverage. The drink will be a Vanilla Bean Frapauccino and blends in raspberry syrup with freeze-dried whole blackberries, topped with whipped cream.

This could get a lot of college kids to play this more. The company knows what they have to do to keep the app relevant. Keep playing. Happy Holidays

After listening to Scott Pelley I thought his speech was very compelling and well thought out. He had great reasons and examples on what he believed about journalism and the impacts it has on him and the country allowing the First Amendment to shine.

Pelley, spoke a little bit on the beginning of journalism and how it came to what we know today as journalism. Pelley explained his meaning to be that the media is criticized always and told how they should perform their jobs by people that are not even in the media. He described the importance of ethics and values in the media. He said that knowing ethics and values in journalism is more important than “fast journalism”. It is good to know what we are talking about in detail and not just reporting when you know nothing or not everything about what you are reporting. Like Pelley said “I was dead wrong.” He also mentioned that ” If you’re first, no one will remember. If you’re wrong, no one will ever forget.” Pelley has also mentioned that like never before had good and bad information been available to people. Journalism lately has gotten a lot of things wrong but it something to improve on.
