Introduction Post

Hello everyone, I am Danielle Hagerty.
I am currently a Junior at Metro State University of Denver. I am majoring in English with a Nonprofit Studies minor. I have always loved to read, write, and connect with people. Some of my favorite hobbies would include baking, and walking my dog. I love the outdoors when it is warm. I also love to laugh, and that is not a hard thing to make me do. I have already received my associates degree in english at Front Range Community College, and decided to transfer. I would like to receive my Bachelors degree in the next couple of years.
At this time in my life I have been married for almost a year, and will be having my first child at the end of this semester. I am really looking forward the beautiful roller coaster ride of motherhood. I am also looking forward to beginning my goal of finishing college.

(My best friend Daisy)

Movie Review

Watching the film We Bought a Zoo directed by Jerry Maguire  left me inspired. It is a "feel-good" film that is also based on a true story. A single father named Benjamin Mee (due to his wife's recent passing) has left him confused and stuck. He decides to move, and the house he buys is a zoo. Reviving it and his family is the goal, and he does just that. The movie was full of heart, laughs, and relatable feelings. Most of all it gives us a sense of adventure.  Jerry Maguire (dir.) Starring Matt Damon

Newspapers Today

What Challenges do new online news sites face?      While it is great to use the internet for its easy accessibility and convenience, online news sites still face many challenges. One challenge is sustainability. Newspapers were in decline due to cost and relied heavily on advertisements. Online news sites are no different. As stated in our Media & Culture text, "New York Times began charging readers for access to all online content in early 2011." This is also known as a paywall. Over 150 newspapers of all sizes began doing this. However, they quickly realized that readership declined because many do not believe that they should have to pay for a subscription online. New York Times had to compromise, and "in 2014 began allowing readers free access to ten articles a month, as as free access to articles via a search link." The paper seems to still be having some serious cutbacks. This issue is quite similar in the music industry, where the audience does not fee...

Questioning The Media

My memories of playing early video games are not very strong. I did not play many video games growing up, but I do remember some. My brother was a lover of video games and I remember the Playstation being big. Back then we had games such as, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, and Star Fox. I also remember having a Game Boy. I liked to play games such as Animal Crossing, or Mall Tycoon where you built a farm and sort of a community as an animal or a mall. I believe that they influenced my childhood in that they were a fun thing to do when having late night sleepovers or when you could not play outside. They were not constantly played in the home that I remember. I have not necessarily been appalled at the level of violence, misogony or racism in any video games I played. I never enjoyed video games that would have those characteristics in them anyway. I do remember babysitting before and there was a 4 year old playing Grand Theft Auto, which was fine to the parents. I had no power to object to ...
