Thoughts on Unit 3.2
This week we wrote 2 media advisories and 2 media pitches about the Tipton Children’s Home and the bikeathon. It’s nice to know how to format these documents as they are important to any organization a PR professional might represent. I feel like these assignments would have been easier if I was more familiar with the home and the bikeathon. I was able to look up extra information about the home online, but the bikeathon is non-existent. I would have felt more comfortable writing about an event from my work. Also, since I am not familiar with Tipton, OK it was harder to find who to send the pitches too and even harder to find a way to connect with them. I eventually found the Altus times newspaper which is one of the larger towns next to Tipton. I wrote to a reporter who had written articles about organizations and events similar to Tipton Children’s Home and the bikeathon.

3.2 Reflection Post: Media Pitch & Advisory
This week we had to write our first Media Advisories and Media Pitches. Again all assignments were written on the Tipton’s Family Home. It is interesting to see how the information needs to be presented in slightly different ways across each platform. I am excited to continue to refine these skills and continue to see the different ways PR professionals interact with various audiences using various mediums. I think its always important, for any job in any field, to know how to communicate clearly to multiple audiences.
Reflection: Unit 2.3
This week was the week to finish up both the business card and letterhead, and it’s been a blast.
2.3 Reflection Post: What a Journey it Was
This first big project brought a lot of frustration and self doubt. But don’t worry, it ended well! I was asked to research an organization I could potentially see myself working with in the future. I was suppose to learn as much as could about them so that I could eventually design a business card […]
Reflection Time!
So this week we were just working on finishing our business card and letterhead designs. I actually completely changed my business card idea. I kept playing with the field background, but it was just so hard to read. So I switched the background to anther football aspect, and what’s more football than an actual football? …
