BlOG ROOKIE

Hello readers! Thanks for joining me for my very first blog post! As some of you may know (classmates) I have started this blog for my COM317 class. For those of you who just stumbled upon this site I have joined blogger for Media Convergence but I will (hopefully) continue blogging after the course is finished.
Brief history of Al's blog creation: The headline came to me as I was trying to think of short, snappy and fun word to put after "media." First I thought I could use "[media] buzz" but knew that was probably an overused blog phrase. Then I thought, "fizz!" It's not just the bubbles in tasty beverages or the cause of a foam overflow after shaking a soda... it's a droning sound-like a pop, murmur or hiss. Sometimes it sparkles and delights the senses but sometimes it's just a bunch of fluff.
The Media Fizz blog is dedicated to discussing various events and roles that mass media play in our daily lives. Although I am a Blog Rookie, I hope to send out some interesting or useful information and I look forward to hearing back from you with your own thoughts or ideas!
