Fear and loathing as a nontraditional UW-W applicant to UNLV for gonzo research
During the 2022 winter break, the filing of the application to grad school at the University of Las Vegas Nevada took place. The spring 2023 semester journey tracks the enrollment in the Strategic Digital and Social Media course for the vetting of the Convergent Media Studies Independent Study 498 final project.
Convergent media collaborates across multiple writing and multimedia reporting platforms. The journalism news reel inverted pyramid style blends hues from the public affairs capstone gonzo valedictory live stream reporting style with feature writing.
The spring 2023 chapter closes the book on the undergraduate journey through the COMM 440 New Communication Technologies Course and builds a new methodology.
Convergent media is the new wave of academic, documentary and news reporting. Through convergence, artificial intelligence meets its master. The scholar dictates how the bots and sniffers are used.
The days of long-winded research papers are over. Multimedia is the new platform for academic research through elements, which allow live stream-backed keywords with URL embeds.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison will have an opportunity if UNLV declines the submitted application.
Bradley Burt
Bradley J. Burt serves the Dane County community as an American Legion Dane County Service Officer. Burt assists those in crisis with his multimedia reporter service as a blogger to distribute virtual information at his Social Media Writing final project called "Outpost 422." Burt returned as a Wisconsin State Certified Journey worker after finding out he could receive 39 credits for his journey worker certificate. The Technical Studies Journey Worker Associate's Degree helped him transfer to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater where he received a waiver. The waiver allowed him to pursue the field of journalism bypassing general education requirements. In 2014, Burt uncovered information about the Wisconsin G.I. Bill as a Veterans Committee Chairperson. Burt joined the American Legion to investigate benefits further. After being elected to Service Officer in 2015, Burt began noticing college benefit opportunities in Wisconsin. In 2017, Burt left his job due to physical limitations from his military service-connected injuries. The Wisconsin G.I. Bill became his life preserver. Burt returned to school to survive unemployability while waiting in appeal for VA benefit denial. Being a Service Officer taught him how to find resources to survive appeal. After interviewing Sgt. Gary Brynjulfson from "The Reflections of Vietnam" and reading Tim O'Brien's "The Things They Carried," Burt decided to develop a therapeutic writing style to help him cope with anxiety. Outpost 422 developed and journalism became his pursuit. Burt works as an American Legion Service Officer who is surviving by going back to school and writing about his college experience. Burt's portfolio is his passion to pay forward to the next struggling veteran to offer avenues of hope to encourage veterans to try going back to school no matter where they are in life.
