Assignment 9: Classmate Blog Critique

 Classmate Blog Critique 



One of the best parts about being a Mass Communication major is the opportunity I have every single day to surround myself with the most creative and thoughtful minds. Over the past year, I have had the chance to learn from my peers and gain a new perspective based on their unique individuality and creativity. 

Each of my classmates pours out a personable and aesthetic blog that is specific to their personality and interests. Although each of my classmates has exceptional blogs, I will be talking about one of my peers who I constantly look to for inspiration.


I have had the privilege in my first two years of college to attend almost every one of my classes with Gwen. Not only is she an exceptional student and peer, but she is also a sweet friend! Her insightful thoughts and unique interests are constantly displayed within every assignment completed in her blog. 

One of the things I admire about Gwen is the obvious work and thoughtful dedication she presents in each of her blog posts. Whether her post is based on personal interest or educational research, Gwen writes her posts in a style that comes across as a professional yet personable blog. 

Because Gwen and I have had so many classes together (and even share the same schedule this semester), I am not a stranger to her exceptional work, and because of this, it is so easy for me to analyze her blog. 

Diving into the specifics of her blog, Gwen always provides a clean and professional aesthetic to her work. Before I even click on her blog posts, I am confident I will see and hear her voice flow throughout her papers. 


I could talk in-depth about each of Gwen's blog posts, but I thought to save my time (and yours), I would discuss my favorite blog post of hers from this semester, which provides an exceptional example of the constant professionalism and detail provided within her personable blog posts. 

In her seventh blog post of the semester, Gwen looked at binge-watching and the personal impact it has had on her life. One of the ways this post stood out to me more than the others, was her personal connection to her listed show, Outer Banks. Gwen, like always, went above and beyond to add a uniquely personal connection to her post and shared a story of a family trip to South Carolina which sparked her interest in this specific show. 

Gwen included personal photos from her trip as well as similar 
shots from the show itself, which gave her post a distinctive and refreshing perspective to her audience. 


Like I said before, it's too easy for me to brag about Gwen. Gwen's work has always stood out to me, her wisdom and wit are constantly displayed throughout her individualistic approach to each assignment. As her peer and friend and an admirer of her work, I wanted to display her exceptional blog posts for everyone else to enjoy as well! I think Gwen is one of the most exceptional writers I've ever met, and I cannot wait to see all that she does in the future.

Because all of my classmates deserve praise and credit for the amazing hard work they have written this semester, I have included a screenshot and link to Professor Reppert's website, which provides links to each of my classmate's websites.

Assignment 2: Programming Trends (Network, Cable, Streaming, Online, or Social)

Programming Trends Since Netflix's video streaming debut in  2007 , the world's programming trends have never been the same.  Netflix set the tone for every streaming platform after them , and they have since maintained a dominant position among streaming platforms. But since their debut, other platforms have developed and strengthened, creating a competitive field for streaming services.  Whenever I think of streaming I immediately think of Netflix, followed by HULU, Amazon Prime, and Disney+. The people at  USNews  and I have similar tastes and opinions, according to their  Best On-Demand Streaming Services List of 2022 .  With the constant changes within on-demand streaming services, platforms are now focusing on the newest trends for on-demand streaming to grow their program. Binge-Watching One of the newest and most popular hobbies of the 21st century on everyone's shortlist include binge-watching.  Binge-watching a show or even a movie serie...

Disney Film Animation  If you have followed along with my journey throughout Professor Reppert's courses, it may not be a surprise to you that I am choosing Disney (once again) for my final paper.  As a lifelong Disney devote, I have seen how Disney animation has changed drastically in the past 99 years of Walt Disney Animation Studios,  and even how it has changed in just the 20 years I have been alive. Walt Disney Animation Studios was founded in 1923 by Walt and Roy Disney as Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio. And just as the name has changed over time, the once small animation studio has transitioned into an international media conglomerate, that we know and love today. Not only has Disney created a legendary animation studio, but they have established and created new animation that has set the precedence for animation companies across the world. Walt Disney Animation Animontage In late 2020, Walt Disney Animation Studios released a video displaying each of the film an...

Assignment 3: Product Review

Review of Surface Laptop Go Like most college students, a laptop is on my "must-have" list to bring to schoo l. As a student, I use my laptop for pretty much everything. Homework, tests, emails, social media, streaming, and online shopping occupy my screen time on my personal laptop.  Since I have extensive experience with my own personal laptop, my analysis and product review will discuss the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go.  This past September, my grandma graciously purchased a new laptop for me to use at college (as long as I promised to keep good grades). She let me research and choose whatever computer I wanted and she promised to take me to Best Buy to purchase it with me. I will be honest, a Microsoft laptop was not my original choice. All of my friends have  MacBooks  for laptops, which prompted me to ask for an Apple product, mainly just for the brand name. But after a further examination into these laptops, I decided against a  MacBook because of the outr...
