Blog #6 What have I learned in 4902

Please indicate what have you learnt from this class.

In media 4902 there have been many things I have been introduced to such as the marketing rules of the social media market place. For example rule one is to empower anyone who can understand the content which will act as supply for the demand of the people who it will benefit. In this I learned that the content and studies of media marketing is much more important than there is credit given because of the massive explosion of new media such as social networking. One of the most relevant facts I took away from the beginning modules is to trust my peers because they have become the most powerful tools for marketing myself to internships and selling products to larger markets.

A few facts that I found that may change through the marketing techniques we studied this semester are the mediums of advertising. The advertising mediums such as newspaper, radio, tv and online web pages have become more important to me as a student because of my future in media arts and studies. To know the customers of these mediums is my future job which I must now know how to speak with them as much as possible and build relationships with my consumer. I must create a niche market for my own consumer and cater to their interests which must be able to market


What could have been done differently to improve this class?

The only other way that the class could have been improved is if the students took on a project to study a website for more time than one week if the project was over the whole semester. This way I think that the students would have basic access information throughout most of the semester studies in which will help us as students to understand the content firsthand. For the most part though, I found the class very relevant to my future to help me familiarize myself with the new media I will be dealing with.
