On The Media: Michigan's Muckrak

Thirteen people were charged for the poisoned water that people were drinking. The crazy thing about the story is the people were drinking this poisoned water for approximately two years before this crisis was brought to attention. In late 2013 the city of Flint decided to part ways with Detroit's expensive water system. After this was done it took Flint two years to start up a new water system, they started to build and start the new stem with Flint's River. Four years later after doing that e. coli and chlorine was found in the water. People complained about there eyes burning, losing hair, the taste of the water was nasty, the water even had lead poisoning found inside it etc. With all of these problems with the water the city council and state officials steady denied it claiming it was a perception problem for Flint. This story was kept privately because the governor was telling them that their water is safe and kept it a secret but the people of the state found other resources to prove their claim.

Dixie  State women's basketball team has been through so much the last three seasons. Having three different coaches and dealing with three different philosophy within three years is hard for athletes. Therefore I would like to promote the team and make sure the community is aware of the scheduled games, activities, community services and other events that the team does. Having the community on our side will not only support us on the court but will give us the opportunity to know our fans and give us more opportunities to give back to our community.

Targeted group:

• Adults, Children, elders, students, alumni
• People that enjoy basketball

How will I reach my audience:

• Post player bios
• Post team activities
• Game day post

I have to admit that I didn't watch the inauguration however, I did watch some clips of it through social media and online news. 

My twitter feed was filled with negativity about Trump and sadness/positive things about Obama.

Some the News feeds that I watched were CNN,FOX,MSNBC. The reason why I chose to watch three different ones is because they all show different opinions and talk differently about the current POTUS and Obama. CNN is one of the only news channels that actually show equality from both parties. They talked about the positive and negative sides about Trump also talking  the same with Obama within the eight years he was in office. Fox and MSNBC shows which party they agree with most. Fox was talking negative about Obama and speaking so highly for Trump. MSNBC was doing the opposite, showing sympathy as Obama left the office.

Although I'm not a fan of Trump I do respect that he is our president and hope he shows more positive things then negatives while he is in office. Obama has made history and showed many goods while being in office and he is respected for that and will be missed.

UGH! Introductions have always been so awkward for me so I’m going to keep it short! My name is Tramina Jordan I am currently a junior in school and a sophomore on the court. What brought me here to Dixie State? Basketball. My major is communications studies I’m still not sure what career path I want to do with that which is kind of scary because I’m about to be 21 years old in May. I’m the only child so when it comes to certain things I might seem selfish about it but I promise I pass the ball on the court. HA!
