Introduction

Hello everyone! I’m going to start off my blog by first introducing myself. My name is John Scheers and I am a senior at Kutztown University, not including the “victory lap” I’ll be taking. I am a Communication Studies major and a Public Relations minor, and I aspire to go deep within the Public Relations field. I love that PR is involved with everything in the world today, especially since that means there are plenty of job opportunities out there. My dream is to work in the Public Relations department of the Baltimore Orioles front office. To me, nothing would surpass my ability to help my all-time favorite sports team off the field. With that being said, it’s quite obvious that I’m a huge Orioles fan. I forever represent my devotion to this team, because I have an Oriole tattooed on my right arm for everyone to see. This brings me to my other passion in life, collecting amazing art work on my skin, forever to be cherished by me, no matter where I go. Being tattooed is a slow, painful, and expensive process, but to someone like me, it’s worth every little bit. 

Next, I’m going to discuss my reflection of my professor’s blog. I find the words he has spoken to be quite true concerning most of the media today, mainly the internet. A considerable amount of effort and time is put into irrelevant activities on the web. Numerous people on a daily basis go through huge amounts of stress and discomfort because of social media. I find it to be unfortunate, but media as we know it today is here to stay, and there are many positive advantages of it. From a PR perspective, I have quite the fond view of social media. If used properly, it can be one of the best free or cheap tools a company can take advantage of to help boost their image.
