Self Assesment

I am contributing to the study of new media in many different ways. I present all types of new media in current events so people can learn that it's not just the internet that is making great strides but tablet computers, and cell phones, and specific websites as well. My blog is helpful in analyzing current new media trends because I report on current events in new media every week; therefore as the trends change I am able to report on them and summarize them. I summarize the articles I read and on some of posts I even included my opinion on the topic. I could improve my blog perhaps by changing the colors but I wanted the main focus to be on the content as opposed to the design of the blog. My experience so far is that I like learning about new media and how it impacts current events. I'm good at summarizing articles but sometimes I struggle to find different topics that would be appealing to many different audiences. I think I am getting better at it though.
