At the top of class, I quickly worked with Dr. Petrich to formulate a status on the Facebook page, to promote the upcoming show. I just had to respond to it, so I did, with kind and thankful words. It's really amazing to reflect on how much I know about social media and how I continue to update the page. Dr. Petrich has been saying lately how nostalgic he gets looking at the videos and photos I have been uploading, and how since the middle of the semester, he's starting to miss his A-Team already! Dr. Petrich, we're not gone yet!! I was delighted to be able to have him write a personal message to the Facebook fans. I love the idea of seeing something personal from the brains behind the operation.
During class time, I listened to Aramei and Stephanie's two-way in class and commented on ways to add more of a local angle on her story. I thought her sound bite of President Obama in the beginning showed timeliness, but her story was general, so connecting back to the article she was assigned added more of a local aspect.
I then went on to record her two-way, Nick's two-way, and Hector's two-way. Out of them all, I think that Hector's definitely had the most information, but Nick's wasn't far behind. I can see how the two listen to Dr. Petrich and the A-Team to improve thus far in the semester with their writing and speaking skills while in the studio. They both seemed so comfortable in front of the mic, which can sometimes be intimidating. And that's where Aramei fits into this. She seemed very detached from her two-way, and I worried that she only had two sound bites. The article Markella assigned to her was based out of Delray Beach, about Cafe Luna Rosa raising the waitors' wages to $10/hr. Why she didn't go and interview the manager there is beyond me, because that's relative information, even if she wanted to take another angle. I just remember my two-way, and how much information I had going into the studio, that I actually had to eliminate some so my story didn't drag on. That's something she needed to have- more information, because I feel like her story didn't connect to South Florida, even after we tried to tweak her wording.
As Aramei and Nick were recording in the studio, I uploaded these two videos to Facebook. Check the page to view them.
On a side note, I wish more students seemed into this website. Markella sent out a very nice email about asking five or so questions, and their responses would be placed on the website. However, only four or so people responded so far.

Because I did not attend class this Thursday, I wanted to make sure that I still updated the Facebook page. I didn't want to write something too similar to the hint that Dr. Petrich sent out earlier in the week, so it took a while to concoct this teaser. I can't wait to see how this week's show turned out. I bet it sounded amazing with Addison's deep voice as newscaster and Ryan K. as the co-host. Two great voices meshed into one program!
