Pam Cotter

Response to Pam Cotter, assistant managing editor at the ProJo
@prcotter

Pam offered some insight on how the professional journalism community today values social media.  It was good to see that they value social media so much, because it really is a significant element in the progression of news media in our society today.  We can now post things instantaneously and she demonstrated how the ProJo puts Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Facebook to use in order to gain publicity.

As a result of the visit, I plan to make my twitter handle include my name.  Now my handle includes my nickname, I don't call myself "Ginger" it's just what my friends call me.  I plan to make a whole new Twitter account next year after I graduate, or stop tweeting inappropriate things like profanity and sexual jokes...

  1. Good idea to put her twitter handle at the top of this post...did you follow her? Still on the fence about that one.

  3. I'm with you on making a new twitter when I graduate/start looking for a real person job. However, it's going to be hard to part with my graphic twitter now..but theres no way I'm ever changing my name

  4. I also tend to agree with you all on working on my identity. Though I am unsure of how unprofessional mine is. I'll have to look back and plan accordingly.
