    Three things I learned from Jeniifer:

    1: More and more emoployers in the communication field are looking for people who know how to do a little bit of everything. This is due, in part, to the internet because journalists do everything in their blogs.

    2: In the journalism field, it is important to always think about how you can make things better for your customers. You should always ask, “What do my customers want?” Even if this means learning how to do things you have never done before.

    3: Most importantly, you should always be open-minded. The Ganett obviously looks for students who are interested in Communication, but most of all they want students who are open-minded and willing to learn.

    Three things I learned from Jennifer Carroll:

    1. One big challenges she and co-workers face in their field is staying aware of the ‘next new thing’ and being able to keep up with new forms of technology.

    2. When working for a local company, it is very important to stay connected with the community. This means they need to be involved in local events, taking pictures, and keeping the public’s opinion in mind.

    3. We learned about how quickly the commuication methods are advancing and different ways it is doing so, yet she made sure to stress the importance of being aware of different moral, ethical, and legal issues one might incounter in the field.

    My only complaint is there is absolutely no information how to port over your old blog should
    you were with all the new Blogger, because info is
    purely available to the old Blogger. Host – Gator provides Shared, Reseller and Dedicated web hosting solutions.

    This feature enhances the reliability quotient with the web-hosting provider
    too.

    2 litre VR6 engine, which outputs 250PS (247hp or 184k – W).
    Until there is more information on standards and performance, diesel is the most flexible option and clean diesel with biodiesel fuel is even better for the environment.
