Short Reflection Essay

Love this photo! Shows the public then and now!


I am not an avid blogger, but I have blogged for some classes in the past. However, I do keep up with blogs whether it’s fashion or a friends, I find it enjoyable and interesting to read. I believe that an individual is able to write freely in a blog; it is not like a research paper or an essay, it is more about connecting with your audience and building that relationship and comfort with them. Blogs are personal and I believe the person in charge of the blog should know their readers, what they like and how to always keep their attention.
As I was doing my blog, I noticed that the visuals and media are just as important as the text itself. If I didn’t incorporate videos or images, then the blog itself would be boring and would seem like an essay. I enjoyed using this blog as a way to stem off of Cairncross’ ideas and reflect on my own. I can see why blogging has become more popular in today’s society. Although some blogs are free, many people are buying blogs and are making money off of them. Some individuals make blogging a part time job. One must have the time, enjoy writing and have the passion to write about a specific topic in order to make one. Being able to use a blog for my mini project two made me look at another dynamic of media and another area I can explore. It is always good to familiarize yourself with different media outlets especially since I want to work in the entertainment industry.
            I would like to conclude with an interesting video containing facts and statistics that many of you may not be aware of. Social Media is revolutionary! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog! Hope you all enjoyed it :)
