After creating my Linkedin profile, the process started out feeling overwhelming and maybe a little stressful. Linkedin is known for being the “professional” site for potential employers to view future employees. What you may not know, is that I have had only a handful of jobs. So I have a limited knowledge, about the workforce especially in the Journalism industry.
Surprisingly I filled out a lot of information in my profile and I was shocked at how many important skills I have. …
The three apps that I decided to take a more in-depth look into are Evernote, Ecofon Lite for Twitter, and Feedly. Evernote is an app that helps organize your tasks, to-do lists and important things you want to remember. This app is helpful for procrastinators, staying productive and easy to use. This app lets you set reminders, make to-do lists, share notes and even create tables. You can create an account by connecting it Google account or creating one with a personal email. This app is available for free. If you want to sync the app with more than 2…
In my opinion, Tim Pool is not a journalist. He is a YouTuber, wanna-be reporter, but he is not a journalist. A journalist has certain ethics to follow; being trustworthy, unbiased, having integrity and investigating deeper. He does cover important news events. However, I believe that if Pool hones his skills or takes some courses on journalism, he could possibly be considered a journalist.
Pool does live streaming which in my opinion is a good thing to be doing. Live streaming helps to inform the viewers about what is happening like you are there with him. Personally, in the future…
Tool #1: Google Data GIF Maker
The first tool I used was the Google Data GIF Maker. This tool has a lot of steps, so bare with me. I had to choose my data points, using Google Trends, I used Soccer and American football for my data points. Then I chose a time range and region to compare. After choosing data points I visited datagifmaker.withgoogle.com and started creating my gifs. To start creating gifs, I entered my data points, the numbers representing the data, and text giving a brief explanation at the bottom. Then, I chose if the terms are…
The story that I chose from Breitbart was about Barbara Streisand’s new song “Don’t Lie to Me”. The article gave a brief description of the song’s lyrics and how they seem to send a message or meaning regarding Trump. The Breitbart News website widely known for have false information or news stories. After reading the article thoroughly, I have noticed that the article is not that far off from an article from The New York Times.

At first glance this article seems a little biased, the title uses her lyrics to tell the story without even reading a word. …
I believe that the term fake news is used too often, confusing the public about what fake news really means. Fake news has become the go to phrase when someone does not agree with what is being reported. So, it can be confusing about what is actually fake news, especially in today’s times. According to the article written by Margaret Sullivan from Washington Post, defines fake news as “deliberately constructed lies, in the form of news articles, meant to mislead the public”.
I do not like to be repetitive like everyone else. However, there is only one person that comes…
KTLA News 5 use Facebook Live for breaking news and sometimes sports news update. It seems that the news does not go live more than twice in a day. I really like that they frame people nicely, and have minimal shakiness.
Looking through their Facebook page, I find it hard to focus on one story. The news stories go from one topic to the next. I think that they should take advantage of Facebook Live. They should be using it more often, it could helped with getting more people watching their content. …
I am not very familiar with using a Graph Search, so I do not know how often I will use it. I searched “people who like hey violet”, I have loved their music for as long as I can remember. The band, Hey Violet, is from Los Angeles California and has four members. Their music is considered pop rock, and they have been creating music since around 2010.

The people who came up right away from the search were three girls who I am not friends with on Facebook. …
KTLA News 5 Anchor Megan Telles: A Facebook Review
The reporter/anchor from KTLA News that I chose was Megan Telles. I chose her because I found her personality bubbly and energetic and overall happy.

They respond or talk back with 24 hours, Telles responds in the comments often. From what I can see she doesn’t have many advertisements on her newsfeed. It is hard to tell if and how the comments are being monitored. If I was this journalist, I would make more posts about important topics.
