Good day everyone, my name is Cal Dietz and i suppose that i should tell you all a little about myself. I am a twenty year old communications major on my second semester at Temple Ambler after two absolutely wonderful years at Bucks County Community College. I have a love for both film and music alike, my tastes in both ranging from household names to the rather obscure. I have been working my dead end grocery store job for just shy of six years now and between school and my time spent there as an apple stacker it leaves me with little free time. What time I do have to myself I often spend seeing bands play, watching a movie, or doing something along the lines of going to a diner with my friends. If there is anything else you would like to know about me don't hesitate to come ask!
My name is Hanna Kim. This is my third year at Temple University but just transferred to SCT for the BTMM program from Fox School of Business. I was studying IBA and Marketing and realized it wasn't the correct way for my career and I ended up at SCT. During my high school years, I majored in vocal arts and my love for music never seemed to go away. Because I'm a first generation Korean American college student, the expectations of my family were very high, which was the reason why I majored in IBA-Marketing. As time went on, my interest for performance, exposure, and most importantly music only increased. And my love for exposure, performing has led me to pick a career path in which fits with reality. I am currently studying BTMM and plan to minor in Journalism as well, having the interest of becoming a reporter and maybe one day, an anchor. But my ultimate goal is to keeping in touch with music with the background, BTMM.
Mass communication is information communicated to the public whether it is the news, magazines, radio, tv, or film. I once heard that information both forms and informs our lives, especially in the information and digital world that we live in today. Mass communication and media is an extention of our abilities to learn something new and put more and more information in our brains. The information we get from mass communication helps shape my identity, beliefs, life and plants an ambition to build my career in getting information out to people and to be a part of mass communication.
I expect to grow in knowledge and interest of mass communication and its theories in depth through this class. Therefore absorbing more information on mass communication and its theories. And for the C-Team, I will be able to offer advice, participation, opinion, and maybe even research. Depending on what needs to be done, I will contribute in every way possible to get needs met. I must say I don't have much experience in this field yet so whatever I can find out to help out in anyway, we've gotta get it done!
My name is Devon Farrell, I am a senior at Temple. Hopefully, at the end of this semester I will be graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Film and Media Arts. I transferred to Temple with an Associates degree in Communications from Montgomery Count Community College. At North Penn High School, I graduated with honors from the Communications Academy they provided. Currently I am looking for internships/jobs in my field, but right now I am currently a slave/waiter at Giuseppe's Restaurant. Also, I am working on a few websites for Real Estate guys. I live in Lansdale and commute to the city right after class, which is loads of fun. I have always been interested in mass communications. My first interest was being a news anchor but now I would like to become a video editor or something in graphic arts. Truthfully I do not watch a lot of TV and I only listen to the radio when I forget to bring my Ipod during car rides. I think the news and a lot of TV shows are garbage but are fun to watch on occasion. Some TV shows I watch are Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Entourage, and South Park. I love music. Some music that I like is Sublime, Pepper, G. Love, Roots, Biggie, and sadly Lil Wayne. I am a film major so obviously I must like movies. A lot of comedy movies, Kids, Momento, Fight Club are a few I like. I would like to gain more knowledge on mass communication from this class and try to find out what other jobs are interesting in this field. To my group, I offer my point of view and whatever I can so we can get some kind of good grade on this blog thing.
Hey everyone, my names James Mussallem, but everyone calls me Jim or Jimmy. Credit wise I am a Junior at Temple University, and majoring in communications. I've played sports my entire life soccer, basketball, football, baseball, swimming. You name it i've pretty much played it some point in my life. I was an all American Mid-Fielder in the state of Illinois. I'm orignally from Chicago, but have lived back and forth in Pennslyvania my whole life.
All the jobs I have had were in dealing with communication with customers or the media stuff like that. I worked for Best Buy, Hollywood Video, Booters Soccer, and currently i've employed by BlockBuster Inc, and Beat Street DJ company. I consider myself to be an expert on all things entertainment related: sports, movies, TV shows. I've wanted to be a sports announcer my whole life I strive to do that. I need to become more familiar with the technology that goes behind the scenes with it and learn how to write better, but other then that I feel confident I have all the tools neccessary to get the job done.
To my group I bring differing opinions outside of the normal I feel, my views on alot things differ from the mainstream I think of myself as a leader and not a follower, I bring that whereever I go. I'm not afraid of a debate either.
