Lucky We
Lucky we get to live in a generation of social networking.
Lucky we get to access the world on one single click.
Lucky we get to live in a society where when things are repeated, it helps broaden the message.
Lucky we get to share with the world are views and opinions.
Lucky we get to strive for success in our own understanding.
Lucky we get to take initiative in the things we create. display or do.
Lucky we get to rightfully speak our minds for the freedom that befalls upon us.
Lucky we live in a society where everyone is one; yet, we are all different.
Lucky we can have the greatest of times, the most memorable of times and display them when appropriate (Not when mom's in the room - standing over your shoulder)
Lucky we have the chance to have our 15 mins of fame.
Lucky we get to live in a society where when things are repeated, it helps broaden the message. (And creates a little bit of humour).
Lucky we get to live in a generation of Justice Beaver, and Bieber wannabees who say they're the next "Bieber" but. they don't stand a chance. What I mean by that is they're not gonna get the same movie treatment deal the Biebs got, nor are they gonna have to cancel concerts and mall appearances just because the crowd got outta control. It's been done once, it won't happen again. It's like creating a social network and calling it Book of Faces; but that concept has already been taken and to simply copy an exact duplicate is not worth it at all. Bieber today is like the Urkel of fashion back in the day.
Sorry Maria.
Lucky we for getting the opportunity for being the last Journalism class to graduate from Canadore College in 2013...for a while.
With all this being said, Journalism is not dead. In fact, it's just getting 're-born'. The Facebook era, the Twitter era, the YouTube era, they've all shown Journalists how to promote their views, stories, messages and personal interests. By sharing in relation to the public, we are able to send OUR story further. Living in a time where stories can appear in 140 characters or less; sharing, commenting or liking a status update; or displaying striking visuals that creates an illusion something is going on, is simply what everyone is categorizing as the simple 'news factor' that travels from one part of the globe to the other. In other words, timing is everything. The public wants to hear about it right away, no matter the circumstance. From whatever the medium is through social networking, a story will be generated.
And from what I've seen, many newspapers have taken their business online as well. Is this the end of the tangible newspaper you ask? I sure hope not. But this warning is only going to reach across new ideas to help successfully publish a story. Who knows; maybe each newspaper will create its own YouTube page, web casting vlobs (yes, video blogs) or broadcasting news channels 24/7...
It is the people who understand the importance of being heard, and their story is what matters most. Without the public in this generation, who will the Journalists and the media people turn to? You just can't interview each other, you know.
When I've reached across a general point I seem to be very proud of, I'm impressed and I think my time is up. However, I promised a music update and I'm not finished typing until I do just that. So here is a list of what's been playing on my iPod recently: Check them out if you EVER get spare time, which you probably do since you ARE reading my blog...
