Media Portfolio

I have a media presence on YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. I just added two websites. I create and consume a lot on these platforms. I am sure you have a similar, less or more media presence and may be more active than I am. What we (you and I) do on these media spaces may vary but the bottom line is, that we take and leave some things in these spaces. 

In this portfolio, I have collected resources from various media spaces and reflected on them. Many of these resources were created by other media users like you and me. In total, I made three different media reflections.

The first evaluates media platform that was new to me. It tells how you should assess other media platforms you use/are using/intend to use - this helps you keep safe and make more efficient use of social media platforms you have a presence on. The second talks about how we, through the mainstream media outlets, told the story about the effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines. This tells us how what we share on our social media platforms impacts others and society. The third one discusses how to stay and keep the media space safe with a popular social media App, TikTok.

Generally, these resources and reflections are relevant to our daily living - given the rate at which the world is getting digitized and new media technologies emerging. Specifically, it is relevant to our work as Information Professionals - we are able to appreciate the media for ourselves, and understand the behaviors/patterns of our audience who most definitely will be using/encountering one media or the other.
