Blog Post #6: Another post about how technology has changed society's expectations of mass media and culture... Another post about this: I'll do my background in pink this time for your entertainment and mine. In my last post, I talked a lot about expectations. The word expect appeared in italics a couple of times. There's the thing with society: we all expect the media to deliver due to technology. Television and radio may have been the norm back in the day but now- pretty much everyone is on their iPhones or Androids with up the minute news. Apple News, (I'm sure Samsung has something but I'm not into droids...), social media, and even news stations must keep up with what's happening. On top of that, it is expected to be accurate reporting and not 'fake news'.  What's your thoughts on this?  -londonblogger2011

Blog Post #5: This is more analyzination of how technology has changed society's expectations of mass media and culture.  Society's expectations on mass media and culture have become great. For instance, I've been keeping up with ENews all day long with the Grammys. It's live streamed on Facebook and Instagram with up to the minute news about the fashion looks of celebrities like Cardi B, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, and many more. I love this kind of stuff. I'm not the only one that expects it from the media. There's the word expect. Let's put that in pink so we can all see it and understand better that there's the thing with today: technology has changed society's expectations of mass media and culture. It has mine. Look at me waiting on them to do their jobs and if they don't? There will be tons of disappointed folks across the globe who were all waiting in their studio apartments or glitzy mansions or at the bar or around the f...

Blog Post #4: ...analyze three examples of how technology has changed society's expectations of mass media and culture, they said...  Social media, society, celebrity news are all things that I keep up with on a daily basis. Actually: entirely too much! I should work for ENews. Hire me now. I'm going to make the rest of this post in pink because it's 11:22 pm CST and it will awaken your life, which is my desire on earth. (not really but I had you be lieving) Here's my discussion board from class: This week's discussion question is how and why does consumption of music and movies change due to technological advancements? How have these changes affected your own personal consumptions of media? Consider music downloads, pirating movies, iTunes, copyright infringement, and Netflix.  I've grown up with music having older brothers and sisters. Vinyl records: 45s and 78s, cassette tapes, MP3s, CDs for music to VHS and Beta tapes to DVDs. It's been a huge ch...
Blog Post #3:   exciting title, huh? Example 1 of how technology has changed the work of communicators and influenced the training they need:  So many examples. I think I covered them in my last 2 blog posts. Be sure and read that amazing short paper in blog post two. Technology has for sure changed! Social media has evolutionized the industry and brought it live! I can't even think of how things were "back in the day" with no Facebook, Insta, SnapChat, and Twitter. Can you?? It seems like it would be easier now but then again- is it really? I follow lots of things and besides doing their daily work, they're videoing all day long. Literally all day long . . .. It's probably taxing. Feeling pink again here, which is cuter than the black.  If you get bored, follow my other blog: London in the eyes of the beholder. It's very scholarly and not as fun written (sigh). I've evoloved over the years too. Thanks for reading! -londonblogger2011

Blog Post #1:  Example 1 of how technology has changed the work of communicators and influenced the training they need:  So- this is my second blog post, you guys!! I'm including the short paper that I wrote for Communications class. Please don't pick it apart. :) This is a great example of how technology has changed the work of communicatoras and influenced the training that they need in their daily jobs these days !  I hope you like the pink font. I'm into pink lately besides my usual neutral white.  See paper below: ↓ -londonblogger2011 Facebook Influenced, Changed, and Affected Communication from News Organizations According to “Module Overview,” “Facebook has also become a platform for the news industry and other communicators to use to brand their products and messages” (Learning Module Four, 2019). Additionally, “many news organizations now have both written and unwritten policies regarding the cultural expectation that their employees will maintain indi...

Blog Post #1:  Example 1 of how technology has changed the work of communicators and influenced the training they need:  New class, new blog. I haven't blogged since umm 2011 in London so this is not nearly as exciting as that (explains my user name: londonblogger2011) but if you're here ever (besides my current professor in this masters degree program- then hola to you!!! Honestly, I forgot that I used Google to do this so here goes. This first blog entry is about an example of how technology has changed the work of communicators and influenced the training they need in their jobs.  I'll share some of my thoughts from a discussion post that I wrote.   Before Facebook- even before My Space (never had that one), communication for the media was very different. Media consumption was done by television and radio and umm- dial up internet... I'm having to take a walk through time to think about this right now. I don't own a television for several years because I...
