Dear Mr. Odd:
We are the department of Journalism and Communication and we are known for being informed and engaged in the world. Our students learn to navigate the Information Age as skilled professionals in fields of newspaper and magazine journalism, broadcasting and electronic media, and public relations/corporate communications. The Pacific Northwest Newspaper Association calls us “the best professionally oriented journalism program in Utah.”
To better prepare students for careers in journalism and mass communication, we are asking the Alumni Association to assist the department in raising $10,000 for new computers. This campaign will benefit the students by better preparing them to enter the work field at a higher skill level. This will allow students to attain higher paying jobs, which will benefit the Alumni Association by allowing the students to become future donators to the Alumni Association.
We feel that the department of Journalism and Communication share the same value as the Alumni Association in educational opportunities at Utah State University. We also value the promotion of interests and values of students at USU. In order to fully prepare our students for successful careers after graduation, it is important to provide them with highest quality education possible. To do this, it requires the dedication of faculty and staff, and access to the most advanced resources available.
The only computer lab in the JCOM department houses 20 computers that were installed in 1998. It is important for journalism students to have computers where they can access the most advanced technologies. The current computers hinder the student’s ability to fully develop their skills. Updating the computer lab will promote the interests and values of these students.
The Department of Journalism and Communication has always had the education and production of honest quality work by our students as our No. 1 priority. This campaign will compliment this goal and will be head up by Alyssa Lowry, Emma Conger and Justin Badger, three accomplished senior students in the JCOM department, under the direction of JCOM faculty member Preston Parker.
Currently we have 20 functioning computers in the Journalism and Communication computer lab located in the animal science building. We have estimated that to replace these computers it will cost roughly $10,000 to replace all 20 computers in the lab.
We would greatly appreciate the Alumni Association’s assistance in donating as much as possible to aid us in our goal of raising $10,000. Any money exceeding this goal that is raised will go towards technological upgrades in the Journalism and Communication Department. Such donations will augment the amount of good that we can do for our current and future students at Utah State University, and our ability to continue a reputation of quality and excellence of both our faculty and facilities. Please contact Emma Conger at 555-555-5555 with any questions you might have or to schedule a presentation.
Sincerely,
Mike Sweeney

Student-Athlete Services: An Unsung Hero
LOGAN, Utah--Student athletes accomplish many things and receive a lot of recognition such as getting their name in the paper, photographs and awards. A lot of the time people forget that the athletes are students as well. There is so much work that goes into keeping the student athletes on track and involved in the community which goes unrecognized.
According to Brian Evans, associate athletics director, student-athlete services does a lot of work. They coordinate all things academic such as: class selection/registration, adding and dropping classes, arranging for tutors, organizing study hall for athletes and contacting the bookstore for student-athlete books. They also coordinate all the initial and continuing eligibility of student-athletes, processing all the necessary paperwork with the Registrar's Office, WAC, and NCAA for student-athletes to compete.
On top of all that paper work, each team has its own academic sports advisor who is there to help each athlete reach graduation. “I feel that as an advisor we impact the lives of our students,” said academic advisor and tutor coordinator Shukria Stewart. “We are the ones they come and vent to, cry to, mentor and uplift.”
The athletes do work hard and get their work done, but who knows where they would be with out the help of their advisors. “With out their services, I think a lot of athletes would not stay eligible to play,” said women’s soccer member Shannon Ross. “They really help adjust to being a college athlete.”
Although the athletes continue to work hard on the field and in the classroom, it is plain to see that student-athlete services are a big part of that success and deserve some recognition.
The student-athlete services has a strong academic tradition. This tradition includes leading the conference in total number of Academic-All Conference selections six out of the past seven years, including every year since joining the Western Athletics Conference.
Student-athlete services is located at 7400 Old Main Hill, Logan, Utah.

Assignment 2
Press Release: Students Lobby for Snowboarding's Adoption as Vermont State Sport
http://www.burton.com/NewsAndEvents/News.aspx
The Burlington Free Press article:
This article talks about some sixth grade students in Vermont pitching the idea of making snowboarding the state sport. The students sat before the Senate Education Committee and proposed their case. They researched and gave great supporting ideas to why snowboarding should be the state sport. However, the students did run up against some counter-testimony. Parker Riehle, president of the Vermont Ski Areas Association, had come ready to propose that skiing and snowboarding should share the title. Overall I felt that the article remained neutral. It gave both sides to the story. I felt that this article did a good job using the press release as a starting point.
http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008802200305
WCAX-TV News article:
This article was a lot shorter than the Burlington Free Press article. This article was very positive. It gave the impression that there was no counter -part to idea of making snowboarding the state sport. It was very short and brief compared to the other article written for the press release. I don’t think that this article used the press release very well. I felt that this article lacked information. I was not impressed with the lack of coverage the story had.
http://www.wcax.com/Global/story.asp?S=7895439
Analysis:
I decided to research Burton snowboards. I went to their website and they had a section for news. There were several stories that I felt were news worthy. When I searched the different press releases, a lot of snowboarding websites came up as a result. I really wanted a story that was not on a snowboarding website, so I continued to search.
I used LexisNexis a couple of times and didn’t find any articles. I searched google and it gave me more of a variety. I found the process very time consuming, but I was able to do the research and find some articles written about the press release. I felt that the press release was relevant to story written. The story had a testimonial of a professional snowboarder which was very helpful for the article. For the most part I think the driving force to the article was the testimonials of the students.
In this particular press release, I found that the headline is an attention grabber. It used the word students which grabbed my attention. With a lot of the different press releases I found, the company used celebrity names in the sport. However, the angle that the company decided to use was probably not newsworthy.
Overall I enjoyed this assignment. It was good to see what it takes to have a news release actually picked up and written. I feel that I have learned about searching for data and the tools it takes.

LOGAN, Utah, Feb. 25, 2008--Student athletes accomplish many things and receive a lot of recognition such getting their name in the paper, photographs and awards. A lot of the time people forget the first part of an athlete, which is being a student first. You might ask how the athletes can keep up their grades and be so involved with the community while playing a sport. The answer is the student-athlete services.
Each team has its own academic sports advisor who is there to help each athlete reach graduation. “I feel that as an advisor we impact the lives of our students,” said academic advisor and tutor coordinator Shukria Stewart. “We are the ones they come and vent to, cry to, mentor and uplift.”
Being an athletic advisor is not all that student-athlete services provides. Each advisor has other duties to help the athletes become well rounded. There is an active CHAMPS/ life skills coordinator and tutor coordinator. “ It can be stressful, but like is about challenges,” said Stewart.
The athletes do work hard and get their work done, but who knows where they would be with out the help of their advisors. “ With out their services, I think a lot of athletes would not stay eligible to play,” said women’s soccer member Shannon Ross. “ They really help adjust to being a college athlete.”

spam, spoof, lag, lurkers/ Google
Before I read the article on spam, spoof, lag and lurkers, I only knew what spam was because I recieve it in my email all the time. But I did not know the other three. I find it interesting, but not too exciting.
Reading the google article was no suprise. I find it annoying that people pull such pranks, but I do understand when using any type of search engine, I need to overlook the site to make sure its credible.

Positioning Assignment
I have not quite figured out exactly what part of the industry I want to go in. I am very interested in recreational activities and athletics. I want to look for a job that brings me close to athletics and keeps my ties strong. I have been apart of athletics since I was 7 years old, and my love for athletics just keeps growing. I am willing to start at a position where I can work my way to the top. I am hoping by the time I graduate in spring 2009, I can get a job in public relations or marketing that keeps me close to athletics.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of public relations specialists is expected to grow by 18 percent from 2006 to 2016, faster than average for all occupations. This is a good sign for a graduate in 2009 like myself. It is also stated in the Bureau of Labor Statistics that keen competition likely will continue for entry-level public relations jobs, as the number of qualified applicants is expected to exceed the number of job openings. This means I need to work hard right now to get the experience I need so that I am the one applicant chosen for the job. Median annual earnings for salaried public relations specialists were $47,350 in May 2006.
According to Burton Snowboards, internships are offered and are a great opportunity for those who want to get to know the industry. Major League Soccer, also offers internships that allow the applicant to get a better understanding of the industry. There are many opportunities that I can get started with.
Objectives
Output:
I will research the athletic industry and recreational sports industry to gain a greater knowledge by the end of the 2008 spring semester.
I need to really understand the industries that I want to pursue. Having a greater knowledge of how the industry works will be beneficiary to me in the near future.
I will contact at least 8 people in outdoor recreational sports and athletics and create a network of employment by the time I graduate in Spring 2009.
I will begin to network with different companies. I hope to gain a better understanding of each company. With networking several companies, I hope to find one the best suits my desire.
I will search and apply for an internship for the summer 2008. I believe having experience in the field will give me an advantage in the work field.
Impact:
I expect to grow and learn from the research I do.
I think if I am at the top of my game and I know what is going on in the industry I want to pursue, then I think it will make me a better applicant for a job.
Within my network of people, I hope to create some good relationships and walk away with a job offer by the summer of 2009.
I expect to have 2-3 opportunities for internships in the summer of 2008.
Experience is what will get me a good job in the future.

Drudge Report
I think it is funny that Drudgerepot.com got the senate's site shut down due to a link from their site!
Guilty as charged. I have a facebook. Facebook is a growing social phenomenon. Many of my professors are telling their students to create an account if they don't have one already. Why? Facebook is a social network. That means future employers can look you up on facebook and see the "real" you. I think facebook can be a great experience if used the correct way. Keeping your profile professional can give the user a great social experience.
Learning Basic HTML
This stuff is hard!!! I find learning how to work HTML is very difficult to grasp. I have never been a computer junkie, and trying to understand basic HTML flies right over my head. Now, don't get be wrong I can do HTML, but I am not grasping the idea as fast as I would like to. The whole outcome of HTML is very cool. I would love to be good at it. But for me figuring out what tag to do when and where is difficult.

ABC Real Estate LLC Uses a Creative Way to Process Homes
Logan, Utah, Jan. 28, 2008- ABC Real Estate LLC is entering the real estate business with a creative way to process homes. The company plans on using a beneficiary directed equity holding land trust, which is a trust that holds real estate. This process has been quietly perfected for the upper class, and ABC Real Estate LLC wants to perfect the process for the middle class.
The real estate trust involves 4 different beneficiaries. The first, is a settler beneficiary who contributes a home to the trust and in return gets money. Second, is a investor beneficiary who contributes money in a down payment. The trust will distribute equity and money to the investor. Third, is a credit beneficiary who contributes credit and a loan in their name. The trust distributes the property and allows them to rent out the property. Lastly, is a resident beneficiary who primarily lives in the home. The resident will contribute a monthly rent and in return will own a piece of the real estate.
ABC Real Estate LLC will handle all the paper work and make the process as smooth as possible. “ We want to take as much hassle as we can out of the process,” Pres. Bret Cob said. “We care about helping people better their lives.”
ABC Real Estate LLC began in Draper, Utah in Aug. 2007. The company’s president, Bret Cob, partnered with Evan Nielson, which expanded the company to Logan, Utah.
This is a great opportunity for those people who can’t qualify for a home. All you need is a steady job and a down payment. There are no credit checks. Don’t miss your opportunity.

Job Hunters
Who would known that social networks like facebook and myspace would be used for job hiring? This blows my mind. I have mixed feelings towards the idea of future employers using these social networks to hire employees. On one side of things I can understand why a company might want to look at a social network. It gives them the inside scoop of the applicant. On the other side, who cares what someone does in their personal life. That's why its called PERSONAL. If someone gets the job done and qualifies for the job, then why should it matter what they do in their personal life. This is the way things are going, and I guess people are going to have to deal with it. I know I am.

Network Etiquette
I had no idea that there was such a thing as network etiquette. I find it interesting and very appropriate. Having a sense of etiquette while online makes a person seem more professional and well educated. It is appropriate to adhere to the same rules online as you would in person. In this day in age almost everything can be done online. Having proper rules about network etiquette only seems to benefit the user.

Email Etiquette
I find it interesting how much email has changed over the years. It is becoming more common to use email in an informal way. This informal use of email can cause much damage to a company. Allowing improper spelling, grammar, and punctuation can give a company a bad impression. It can also convey the message incorrectly. I think it is a great idea to enforce email etiquette in a company. It will help the company be more professional.

Letter to Cousin
Dear Ashley,
Things are going great in Logan. I am doing very well. I am in my second semester of my junior year and I am loving all my classes. I decided about a year ago on my major which is public relations. I very excited because I have finished all of my prerequisites and I am starting classes that are actually in my major.
You must be wondering what exactly is public relations. Well, today is your lucky day my lady, because I am going to fill you in. Public relations is all about understanding. Public relations, or PR, professionals must understand what message should be sent in a mass communication. A PR professional will find a story and then write a press release and send it to the media. It could be sent to a newspaper, the local news station, or a radio station. Their writing must be well groomed and very professional.
PR professionals must network and create relationships with the media, customers, investors, community leaders, government agencies, etc. It is very important that they keep good relationships. Also, they must be good communicators. PR professionals are more like the ‘go to guy’. They promote events and companies, and also deal with crisis.
As times go on PR, advertising, and marketing seem to be meshing and lines between them are fading. I am very excited to continue with my major and look forward to pursuing a career. I hope to hear from you soon.
Love you,
Alyssa Lowry

As times go on PR, advertising, and marketing seem to be meshing and lines between them are fading. I am very excited to continue with my major and look forward to pursuing a career. I hope to hear from you soon.
Love you,
