Recommended: Importance of social media

This semester has been heavily focused on communication between working the 150 days of Impact articles for PETM and my internship as Director of Social Media for Indiana Sports Talk. My first day, I did not know what to expect since I had little experience in this area. Coordinating social media for a business/organization is about recognizing your brand and who you are trying to promote the brand to. With over 414 Indiana high schools, there is a lot of spectators to reach in the state of Indiana.
Accepting this internship was my first time getting the chance to hear Indiana Sports Talk. Hearing Bob Lovell interact with listeners, while engaging followers on social media, showed me how important it is to connect with fans. I also realized that those who specialize in social media or communication are in their positions for a reason. One of first tasks that I was assigned along with overseeing the social media is to create a comprehensive email list of all of the boys’ and girls’ basketball coaches in the state.

I enjoy applying what I’ve learned in the classroom to my internship. I am looking forward to applying my volunteer and internship experience to my 400 hour internship this summer. I am learning through this internship how important it is to be well-rounded when it comes to accepting an internship. No job is too big and no job is too small for anyone in this industry. There are times when I am asked something that is not communication related, but is important to understand. I enjoy the challenge of thinking through more broadly in my internship and going out of my comfort zone. This internship is pushing me outside of my comfort zone to understand the importance of communications and social media to an

I have never been the biggest baseball fan, but I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity to see Georgia Southern play the University of Georgia. I was very curious to see how the stadium and field looked, because I heard about the new renovations that the school added in the offseason. I also was interested to analyze how they promote their sponsors, because I will be doing the same thing when I start my internship this fall, at East Coweta High School.

Sports Communication Rhetorical Analysis

925 Words | 4 Pages

When I first signed up for sports communications the last thing I thought I’d be doing was not only meeting people like Mike Breen, Jim O’Connell, Steven Sheer, and Joe Yanarell, but speaking to them on a first hand basis and getting to know about their line of work. Each and every speaker not only told us about their line of work but told us about their stories on how they got to where they are and why try fell in love with what they do along the way. The three speakers that stood out to me the most were Mike Breen, Jim O’Connell, and Steven Sheer, but I would like to quote Joe Yanarell on a couple statements that seem to fit into each and every one of these men’s stories. First off, Mr. Yanarell said “you are going to fail and learn from it.” This quote goes a long way
