Feedback #2

This is my title page for the writing guide. Does anyone think it could use more color? I got the template from Canva and I like the black and white look but I figured I would ask for other input.

Do you guys think that adding images with the tips and tricks is useful or does it make everything look overcrowded?

Tip/Trick

When of the tips I included in my how to write guide is to post only one image on each post. My project's platform is instagram, however I feel like this could also be relevant for other spaces. Having multiple images or slides on one post can overwhelm viewers and often times, viewers do not feel the need to swipe through different slides. Keeping just one image makes the post quick and to the point.

[nicorocco77]

I agree that multiple images can overwhelm certain posts, although sometimes I do think that multiple images are neccessary to fully cover a point that is trying to be made.

Peer Review

I know this picture isn't the best. But My question to you is, is this an acceptable format for my how to write guide? I tried to focus on built points and small paragraphs to make it easy to follow and understand.

[nicorocco77]

I think this is an acceptable format. I am laying mine out similar to this because I have no real access to design software anymore to make mine look different than a google doc.

Post an image of an element of your content that you are most proud of

This section of my guide I am proud of because I give clear examples on how to present news to my audience. I took the screenshots from both the official NFL account and the NFLONFOX account to show contrast and two different ways that it can be done

[nicorocco77]

Post a tip or trick you are offering in your guide that is useful to all of us!

One of my tips that I will share with everyone is "For graphs specifically, Excel is a great tool to use that can easily sort inputted data into simple graphs that can be customized to user’s liking". I used this when creating graphs for my content analysis project and it greatly improved my work.

What does your final revision process look like?

My revision process usually involves looking at feedback and incorporating it into my already written project. I will reread the parts that I already have and think about the feedback and what needs to be changed and I will change it

[nicorocco77]

What subeadings will you use?

I will use some subheadings like "Like Graphs", "Comment Graphs", "Analysis", and more. I will show graphs that I have made and elaborate on them to work towards answering my research question.

[nicorocco77]

What data graphs do you think will help you SHOW your content strategy conclusions?

I think that simple line graphs for each of the quantitative categories will work for each team and for the qualitative category I think that just a "positive" or "negative" box being checked will work well.

Meaningful Data

When collecting data, I have mostly been using quantitative methods. To answer my research question, I have been collecting data on the amount of engagement with videos depending on their audio choices. Since the amount of likes and comments are numbers and I am comparing them, it is quantitative data. Using quantitative methods allows me to determine and look for patterns of how audio influences engagement and content strategy. I plan to also apply qualitative data to explain how and why the quantitative data is relevant in the space and helps to answer my research question.

[nicorocco77]

I am also mostly using quantitative data by comparing number of likes and comments, and I am also adding in the qualitative aspect of the tone of the comments to see if they are positive or negative.

how will your research question help you collect data?

My question will help me collect data because now I know exactly what I need to collect. Without the question you could be collecting data that is irrelevant. I think having my research question and feedback from Dr.P early in the week was a great start.

[nicorocco77]

I agree that having feedback in the beginning of the week was a great start to knowing what direction I needed to go in

[nicorocco77]

How are you determining meaningful data? What method will you use to collect it?

I determined likes, comments, and quality of comments as meaningful data because those are the main ways that someone can get feedback on instagram. Since I don't have access to personal DMs, those three are the closest I can get to collecting meaningful data. I am going to have to comb through posts of team news and collect the number of likes and comments, and then go through the comments and see if they are overwhelmingly positive or negative.

[nicorocco77]

What is meaningful data to answer/address your research question?

My research question has to do with the NFL and how people respond to team news based on how well that team is doing. Some meaningful data that is important to address is the number of likes, comments, and the tone of the comments. They could be positive comments in support of the news, or negative comments hating on the player or organization. To help answer the question I will have to take the likes and comments from posts about both good and bad teams and compare them.

[nicorocco77]

What is your research question? How can we help you revise it further?

My research question is "Are NFL fans more interested in news about teams that are preforming well over teams that are not?" I want to know if anyone thinks that this is too broad to collect data for or if it is okay to work with.

[nicorocco77]

What space are you focusing on?

I am going to focus on Instagram because I have been using instagram for many many years and have watched it evolve over the years. It is one of the spaces that I know best.

Data Collection

When collecting data I noticed that I have had issues writing things down right away but have become more observant of the things I am doing and in my interactions. On the first day I knew I would not be able to take pictures and keep up and remember to do it all day for three days. So I just became more observant and took more mental notes for myself to write about later. This is what worked best for me because keeping track of things is not very easy for me to remember.

[nicorocco77]

I strongly agree that it was hard to keep up with it at first, especially because I am so busy most days. But I took mental notes as well and took it in chunks.

Patterns I expect to emerge from data collection

While collecting data, some patterns in my daily routine will come to light and what I unconsciously do is actually an ingrained routine that consistently happens. I intake a lot of information daily but I am interested to see what my patterns look like on paper. I think this will give me some perspective into my life and maybe see areas that I need to change to improve productivity and overall well-being. I also feel that from this project I will begin to see where my primary sources of information intake occur and see how beneficial or negative it is. 

[nicorocco77]

I did find patterns in my data, as I expected because I have a very similar schedule on a daily basis. I learned that my primary source of information is actually not social media
