Entry #1 Blogs

 

When I initially heard about blogs in class for the first time, I was not too intrigued. I just thought of it as a place for adults who have their whole life figured out, to talk about their experiences. But I was proved wrong. There's so much to a blog. People can talk about literally anything, at anytime. 
 

 
If you're into movies and shows like most people. Tv Fanatic Girl aka Amy's blog has many great reviews. She talks about so many shows available on Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max etc. She provides trailers and a lot of background information about the shows for her viewers. Not only that but something that caught my attention and probably of many others, is that she includes a pros and cons section about the shows. The layout of her blog is interesting because she includes lots of pictures and statics. The purpose of Amy's blog is to inform readers about so many shows available. With Covid-19 going around, and lots of people having to quarantine her blog is a great way of informing yourself about all the good show options. 

The Guardian is a blog for any sports fans out there. They have a variety of sports they talk about. What's cool about their blog is that they talk about teams that aren't super well known yet or hardly talked about. The only problem with this website would be that it can be a little difficult to reach a certain article about a certain sport. https://www.theguardian.com/ Overall their purpose would be to inform their viewers about a sport they might really enjoy. 

 


    With celebrity scandals happening almost everyday Mto's news blog is a good spot for all types of celebrity drama. Their purpose is to inform people on the latest news on their favorite celebrities. An issue I noticed was that they really don't include a lot of context. They are really brief, but they do include videos and pictures which is really nice visually. On a positive note, it seems like they really like to talk to their views and chat with them. https://mtonews.com/

Entry #9 Media

   Media is something that has me and most of you constantly looking at our phones whether we admit or not. First we start looking at our phones for a couple of minutes but then those minutes turn into hours. It's addicting no doubt. After a little bit of research I came across that apparently 4.62 billion people in the world now people use social media. Which is really mind-blowing.  Media sources can also really impact our view of the world. A term used to describe this would be gatekeeping. This basically refers to the fact that media controls the information we get, and therefore what we think about. Editors here contain lots of power because they basically decide what we end up hearing about therefore what we also think about.    Media is seen everywhere. It's like there's no escape. We see all different types of media everyday. They come our way in many different types of forms as well. They come in magazines, usually containing over like one hundred ads. Or that'

Entry #10 School Safety

   We come to school almost on a daily basis to learn and to see our friends, let's be honest. Usually when it comes to school we think of it as a safe place. Lots of people think of schools as a safe zone because majority of schools are constantly being protected by police officers on campus. It came down to police officers having to be on watch on school grounds because of tragic events that have occurred in the past. Which is sad to think about. Are schools really safe? Even with measurements taken to protect students? Recently I came across a story that is truly devastating. Alycia Reynaga was a 15 year old who had her life planned ahead of her but sadly was cut short. This story truly hit me hard because I have a sibling who is the same age as her, and they're both freshmen in high school. She loved softball. In fact she was on the high school team, she was loved by her teammates and lots of people. Her community still remains disbelief.  She was murdered on school grounds

Blog Entry #5 Doug Ducey

        Ducey: Why Arizona needs more college grads               Hi welcome back, today's blog isn't going to be about the weather this time, or what has been going on with Russia and Ukraine, or Covid. Instead we are going to talk about a local news article that came out a couple of years ago called "why Arizona needs more college grads". When I was about to graduate high school there was no denying I was nervous. Simply because I didn't know if I wanted to continue my education journey. There were lots of factors that came to mind. I was probably not the only student who thought about financial problems, if college is even worth all the stress we were about to go through, what to major in, and so on.      Immediately at the beginning of the article, Doug Ducey made sure that we knew he was talking to his audience from a husband/father perspective, and not as an elected official. Simply to make a type of connection with readers, and make them understand that he
