Getting the Word
Project description
Assignment 1 Discussion: Getting the word out
Social media can be a powerful tool to help you get the word out to a wide audience In a relatively short amount of time. 1. Imagine that you are organizing a fundraiser for a local charity. Explore the various social media outlets discussed in this module or that you are aware of from your own personal and professional use (example include Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace Instagram,etc.) 2. Compose two announcements advertising the event to be posted on two different social media sites. The first should be geared toward your friends, family, and other social acquaintances. The second should be written for co-works or professional colleagues or acquaintances. 3. What types of media would you announcements? Written, photographic, video, or audio? Would the same media be appropriate for both announcements? Where could you get this media? Is it OK to copy whatever clip-art you find on the web? Why or why not? Is it OK to use part of your favorite song? Why or why not? Discuss which social network site would be most appropriate for each example and explain why. Be sure to include a brief reflection on the differences in tone, style, and content of two postings in terms of their intended audiences. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
