Social media/creating my blog
I'm creating this blog in the hope that eventually I'll have something interesting or worth while to say. I'm trying to get the hang of the new social media that is becoming such an integral part of our society, especially in the PR industry. For me, the changing landscape of media is slightly frightening, but anything that causes change is going to be that way. In all my journalism classes one of the most frequently asked questions is what the future will hold for print publications. Gen Y grew up knowing mostly print media and the thought that it might possibly be eliminated in our lifetime is mind-numbing. I'll just continue to do my part in subscribing to magazines I don't need and picking up my daily copies of the Post and hope that print and online media will come to some sort of coexistence that works for both industries.

Interesting thoughts! To be fair, I highly doubt that print publications will ever cease to exist all together... but either way, certainly nothing to be alarmed about. The 21st century will likely be characterized by a shift, or a transition rather, to a mode of human interaction in cyberspace.
If anything, this transition provides more opportunities (for instance, with online magazines) than every dreamed possible. No worries!
Good to see you're starting a blog, and I appreciate your following mine! If you ever want to chat about social media or anything PR-related in general, feel free to drop me an e-mail: aliviacnuzzo@gmail.com. Good luck in your years here at OU. They will be the best :)
I never knew you were a triplet :) Have you ever been to Twins Days in Twinsburg, Ohio? That's my hometown :)
Good luck with your blog... it seems to be beginning nicely. I felt the same way when I first started mine this summer :)
