Media Survey Results

I found some interesting things and some things I expected to find. I found that very few people listen to online radio and those who did listen to it do not do it on a very regular basis. Many of them still listened to radio when they were in their car but said otherwise they are usually listening to their ipod. Some even listened to pod casts on a regular basis.

I also learned that people still use print newspapers. I asked them about when they read newspapers and many people said that they read them when they went home. Several people read their hometown newspaper online, though most of them did not do it on a very regular basis.

When asked bout television many of them said they never remember watching a antenna television except for a few who said they did when they were very young. I asked them about what channels they watched most often and both the discovery channel and cartoon network were mentioned often.

Not very many people read magazines online. Many people read magazines on a monthly basis. Some favorites were game informer, sports illustrated, Cosmo. Although not many people actually have subscriptions to these magazines they still find a way to read them on a regular basis.

I did not really find any things that really surprised me except the online radio. I thought more people would listed to online radio than do. I am glad to know that newspapers still have a place and they are not completely obsolete yet.

Blog Analysis Assignment

The title of the blog I followed was World of Psychology http://psychcentral.com/blog/.

The authors were a group of people, some authors only posted once others posted multiple times. The authors do have biases, many of them wrote off of their previous experiences addressing issues that they have encountered. This is a professional style blog but the entries are more informal.

This is a general psychology blog. The content is both informative and sometimes entertaining. The blog was updated a few times a week sometimes more sometimes less. Most of the content was original. There was only a couple of entries that provided links to more information.

The site that the blog was on was created in 1992, but i could not find a date that the blog was started. In searching the archives I found some interesting things about facebook and twitter.

I had trouble identifying different links. It is obvious that this blog is not for professionals but for amateurs interested in psychology or someone who is taking psychology courses. There were not a lot of sites that linked to this blog mainly because the blog name is also the title of a book so when I did a search the book is what came up.

The blog does use comments. I do not think the screen the comments first because every once in a while I ran across comments that either did not make sense or were very insensitive. On some of the posts there are quite a few comments and if the comments is directed to the author then the author would respond. Some of the same people would comment on different entries but it did not happen that often. I think for the most part the community are people who are living with or are interested in mental illnesses. Many people were commenting on their own experiences.

I think that the visual design supports the blogs purpose, I just wish there was an easier way to navigate the page. I had trouble answering some of these questions for the assignment because I was not sure how to go about finding the answer. I could not find a way to search past entries I just had to keep going back to previous pages which takes a while when there are a few posts a week. I liked the visual aspect of it but the navigation could use some work.

I wold rank this site about a 4. I found very useful information here and even stories of people that entertained me. The only issue is that I had trouble keeping up with the posts just because they are fairly long and I usually did not read the entire thing unless the topic really interested me.

PRSA assingment

After reading the PRSA website I have learned a lot about the history of Public Relations and the ethical guidelines that they go by. It is amazing how long public relations have been around and how they have stayed the same, but also changed so much. Also I can understand how it could be difficult to follow ethical guidelines when the company you work for wants you to say something untrue. I would be hard to know that you were going to lose your job for being ethical. I do not think that I would ever be interested in a career in Public Relations. I have learned a lot of interesting things in this class and on the website, but I could never see myself making a career out of it.
