The site’s community guidelines will be centered around my community standards which are heavily informed by The Guardian’s community standards. These include: I acknowledge criticism of the articles I publish, but will defend my stance as these are simply my subjective opinions regarding topics. While I understand that some people feel strongly about certain topics, …
This week’s topic is centered around incorporating more transmedia integration and leveraging various channels for our blog. In Kevin Britteny Lauren’s blog (2013), they reference Henry Jenkins’ definition of transmedia storytelling which describes it as a process by which elements of fiction are disseminated across different media channels to enhance users’ experience. They go on …

There’s a saying that goes: if the product you’re using is free (in this case social media), then you are the product. This could not be more true with the rise of data trails and targeted analytics.
