Outdoing Expectations!
Hello again to all you out there in the ether. It is nice to see you again, or better yet send this message out via deep space communications, I don’t know who will be reading this so enjoy. This month has been very interesting indeed. First let me start by saying that my inspiration for this month and the many months to come is my family. I am lucky to say that I have had a new daughter arrive on Oct. 15th. I am very tired right now and very exhausted both physically and mentally as we also have a one year old, but life is good and God is great! I am blessed to have such a strong and amazing wife and beautiful and healthy children.
Now on to the juicy part… Not only did we cover many things that I had already learned in my Bachelor’s degree program, but we covered a couple different legal aspects that I had not had the pleasure of experiencing in the past. This month was a very interesting month indeed. We covered copyright, which is something I was very familiar with, but we did a lot of case study as well. It was hard to say which assignment I liked the most, as I personally enjoyed them all. I think it comes natural to me or something… Anyway, if I had to pick I would say the slide show presentation assignment was my favorite to do, as I really like the media production side of things. I think that all the topics covered this month are super important, but most of all the copyright and the information regarding the rights of journalists. Those bits of information will be the most useful to me in the future of my career.
All of the knowledge the was graciously bestowed upon me this month will be very helpful in almost any legal situation that I may personally encounter in the communications industry. It is already really helping me to know what I can and can’t do in my state, for instance in my state I can’t video record anyone and USE the footage without written consent, that is unless I blur their faces out, however I can photograph and audio record anyone anywhere under any circumstance and use any and all audio and photograph in anything I want to use, public, private, and civil, etc. This course actually went above and beyond my expectations as it was very informative and straight to the point with the necessary information, with applicable ways to actually use that information if needed.
See you all on the flip side of next month!
