Media & Communication : A Reflection On Media And Communication

My internship experience proved to be valuable in terms of exposure and knowledge. Attending the M-1 Rail Community Advisory Council meetings were very rewarding. I was able to observe and interact with the public on their thoughts about M-1 Rail. The internship has taught me that it is important to learn how to demonstrate professionalism but courteous behavior at all times. My internship has definitely given me a better understanding of my skill, but most importantly, I’ve come to learn that I am not alone. This job has taught me that almost everybody is in my same position. Thanks to my I know that if I continue to work hard things will fall into place. Being my first position in an office atmosphere, I didn’t know exactly what to expect.

In our society, media is constantly being used not only to communicate but also to learn about what is going around the world. The web gives the chance to share news and even lets people talk to one another. The internet spreads information and ideas quickly and reaches out too many people. Much of what our society sees and reads often come from sources provided by the internet. Based on these sources, knowledge is gained, wither it is real or fake. Constantly seeing media gives our society the idea that it is real. Videos, music, and photos are a way of spreading ideas clearly to more people. Due to this, ideas such as the end of the world sparks conversations and creates theories.

When marketing for the football camp that took place this past summer, I made contact with all the football departments in schools around the area to tell them about the great opportunity it was to send their athletes to this camp. By contacting these programs and organizations through email and by telephone, I had the opportunity to build my communication skills. It was vital to be professional in my writing and spoken word in order for the organization to have confidence in the Superdome and with the prospected relationship it may

Prior to taking on this internship, taking JOUR 153: Mass Media Law and Regulation would be incredibly resourceful to understand before working with various

From this experience I can say that I did also acquire new skills on how to better manage my time when I am working with time consuming work. My multi-tasking skills have improved and I was also able to learn how to organize tasks in such a way so that it is completed in an efficient manner that represents quality work. I also realized that I am quick to adapt to changes in the work environment and I pick up really quickly on new tasks that I am taught to complete. From my whole internship what I value the most is two things. The new skills I was able to better and the relationship that resulted between the managers I worked for. Working with Beverly was very beneficial, she is very helpful in helping you with anything you do not understand. By getting the chance to work with Beverly I was able to network out which is very helpful. I would also recommend this experience to others because it is helpful and will give you an idea of what you want to pursue. From this experience I have come to the conclusion on what interests me even more in the healthcare field and what I would like to

At the beginning of this internship, I did not know what to expect. It was the first time I was going into a professional work place and a professional setting every day. Therefore, my expectations were based on my assumptions of an internship that I have observed through the media and the opinions of other students.

We are surrounded by a whirlwind of different media outlets, but they are not being forced upon us. While this mass production of media and various stories is a reflection of our corporations that also can relate to our greedy demand for more and more of everything. We are only human and so are those in media trying to master the masses. The last page of Gladstone’s The Influencing Machine ends with one sentence: “We get the media we deserve”(p.156). The media is a reflection of companies run by people trying to create what we want. Consumption of media is not mandatory, but we urge for more and more. Media caters to the consumers desires and reflects many of our beliefs. This is all well deserved and supported through our interaction with the media.

At the start of the internship, my objectives were to learn more about the film industry, to gain further insight into working life and how that differs from college and to gain more experience in the field of public relations. All in all, I felt I achieved all of these goals I set for myself. In my previous write up, I highlighted the difference I found between work life and college life. I found it pleasant that I did not have homework occupying my nights however it was difficult and draining to be focused on work for at least 8 hours a day with a small 1 hour break for lunch. From Mammoth Advertising, I also delved extensively into the inner workings of film PR, especially on how coverages for things such as trailers and posters impacts how a movie will be marketed. I was also given the chance to write press releases for things such as trailers and character debuts, which was fun and exciting. Overall, it gave me a sense of how public relations have an important and irreplaceable place in a successfully marketed film. Although my experience at Mammoth Advertising was not smooth sailing nor easy, my summer with this film PR company has definitely peaked my interest in venturing further into the film PR industry. In my future endeavors, I hope to be working for the studios such as Lionsgate, Paramount Pictures or FOX 20th Century to get a feel of what goes into making a movie successful on within distribution and production

In addition, the internship was a good to find out what my strength and my weaknesses are. This helped me to know what knowledge and skills I have to improve in future.

Over all have really enjoyed interning at ABC this year. It was especially great to work with all of you and learn throughout the year. I was very excited to work with you doing video and creating content. I found it very interesting learning the tricks of the trade in video making and going to the different locations throughout the summer. I was surprised, how much detail goes into sometimes just ten seconds of video. The whole process from creating questions to get the subject to respond with appropriate answers along with the filming techniques and the side stuff with editing, I all found new and interesting. Although maybe not always the transcriptions. The only part I wish I could have learned a little bit more about is editing, something

Studying different theoretical, strategical and creative aspects of the media and communication field, Professional Practice course gave me an opportunity to explore all the above aspects in real and practical life via Internship. Therefore, in order to fulfill the requirements of the Professional Practice course of RMIT University, I was fortunate to get an opportunity to intern as the marketing and the communication strategist for a start-up company called ‘BizBuddyHub’ (BBH). A hosted community coworking space that has laid its foundation with a strong vision and a strong mission and is currently looking ahead to create a strong marketing strategy and plan to engage with the existing members and also boost its reach to

There wasn’t much I learned from there other than learning how to grade paper, but I kind of already knew much about that. I learned some communication skills. I would say that because I barely liked talking to anymore but going to a internship everyday made me realize I have to talk no matter what. The kids will talk to you and the teachers, principals and other adults that work in that building. No matter where you go or what part of the building you are in everyone will talk to you and I had to learn to get over my shyness and start talking back to these people.

From the start of the United States of America, politics has always been heavily influenced by journalism and the press. These two factors continue to grow with times and evolve with different and new political ideologies. Today, modern media has a large effect on government and the outward appearance a country gives to others through its leaders and public decisions. Mass media, or the technology that is intended to reach a mass audience, serves as a primary source of communication between a countries’ government officials and its people (STUDY). The role of media, the bias it brings, and its use with politicians’ themselves all are key in fully understanding how politics work. These characteristics are found especially in, but not limited to, the election of 2016.
