For my 2020 Script Project, I made a rough script for my family’s contracting/construction business! We’ve never had a real commercial before, so this is just an idea. Read it here!

Kiana McClure is a third-year Communications student at Bay Path University who works with the student magazine Network News as a content contributor for the last four consecutive semesters, learning the ins and outs of media from her academic advisor. Kiana also works closely with the Bay Path University student body by working in the Blake Student Commons for Aramark Dining Services.
Kiana believes that the student voice being heard is integral to the growth of Bay Path University, from finishing school to esteemed university. Her passion for being the voice of the people and being heard has grown from hearing her peers air their dissatisfaction in passing while she spends her evenings working in the dining hall kitchen and dish room. Feeling that her peers were being underrepresented in the decisions on campus, Kiana began to be more vocal where others would not be; boldly calling out the university on their policies, practices, and the injustices students faced on campus.
Kiana directly works to achieve her goals and pursue her dream of student activism is heard and acknowledged by those in charge of Bay Path by contributing consistently to the Student Voices section in the student-run and curated Network News monthly releases. Kiana is passionate about the decriminalization of cannabis and the subsequent justice for those imprisoned unfairly for possession charges, she hopes that this passion will lead her to work with grassroots organizations dedicated to balancing the scales of justice and destroying the concept of a for-profit prison in the United States.

This is my take on our Print Advertisement/Flyer project from February for my Writing for the Media class. I was promoting the new non-dairy option at the campus cafe: oat milk!
The first page is a page that was almost published in an issue of Network News earlier in the semester. However, by the time it had made it through the approval process, it was far too late on the semester to submit it for publishing because it was no longer relevant (post-homecoming/rush).
-- What did you learn or gain from it?
I learned that there is a lot to be handled before the publication of an article. I gained a newfound sense of patience while dealing with the editing process.
-- How does it relate to your education, career goals, or personal interests?
I like to go out, a lot. But when I was a freshman, I wasn't doing so safely. I was going out by myself and not telling anyone where I was going, consuming anything that was handed to me and found myself relying on the kindness of strangers. I was not being safe, and I wrote this to show vulnerable freshmen how to be safe if those are choices they want to make.
-- What skills did you use or acquire?
This was my first in-depth use of the Canva program. This specific piece took me three days, making sure the color palette worked and the clip-art all looked the same as it was pulled from multiple different creative commons sources.
-- What challenges did you encounter? How did you overcome them?
The biggest challenge I faced with this piece was the submission process. Nobody wanted to approve it because of the very obvious paraphernalia on the cover, but nobody wanted to come out and tell me that either. Instead, they claimed grammatical errors after grammatical errors before my emails just stopped being answered. This piece was never published, but it was my favorite.
The second page was a project a friend/coworker and I did together. The assignment was to make a poster advertising a TV or internet series we came up with. My friend and I came up with the idea of a slice-of-life style show following the day to day trials of working in fast food like we do.
This is a story I wrote in the beginning of the semester for my multimedia journalism class. I wrote this one with my dad featured because he would walk up and down the residence halls and write motivational quotes on everyone’s door at the beginning of the semester!
