QURANTHINK 🤔👩🏻‍💻

A year has passed since the pandemic has entered our world. The time that we divided separately, a time that only a corner of your room or house you can be in. This is also a generation where we are all dependent on the available technology that we used everyday. A digital world to interact with each other while we are socially distanced. 

As we see ourselves back to the same ordeal, we’ve missed a lot—friends, classmates, colleagues and such. We kept on surviving everyday by entertaining ourselves—watching netflix, getting together with family and social networks. By doing this, it makes us feel missed and loved for the meantime but sometimes, it’s exhausting. Everyday check up on friends, daily scrolling on social media and a loaded workload from the school. 

Given that, many students including me are demanding some much-needed breathing space amidst the unfavorable socioeconomic impact. To consider the intensified burden placed on the students affected. The quarantine implementation caused a great setback in the normal operational flow of the whole nation. Challenging the morale, mental health, and welfare of many. 

The impact of the quarantine period on the economic welfare of the majority remains the issue that must be considered. In the midst of these events, fairness and equality are needed now more than ever for the well-being of all. Having said that, a lot of students were quite uncomfortable with this set up and sometimes felt angry in the aspect of unfavorable things. Online classes, daily family together and interacting only on social media are quite exhausting yet we need to adjust into the new normal. I wish this pandemic ends and the government should be accountable and competent someday.

Ethical Sharing 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Digital publishing has unleashed innovative journalistic practices that enable novel forms of communication and greater global reach especially in social media. But on the other hand, disinformation popularly referred to as “fake news” is increasing and affecting the way individuals interpret daily news. Mostly influencers, celebrities and other personalities have a huge impact in spreading information through their own platforms. Information systems have become more polarized and contentious, and there has been an issue in public trust in traditional journalism. Also sometimes fake news affects those people behind that referring to the article that personalities are being judged by the Twinmark Media Enterprises which leads to fake news since personalities deny the issue.

As an active social media user/consumer, in order to help stem the tide of fake news is to be a responsible netizen and should be more aware of what’s happening. Especially now in the incoming 2022 elections where politicians are starting to campaign themselves and sometimes invalidate other individuals by spreading wrong accusations. As an active social media user and a President of the Student Council in our university, I will use my power to spread awareness to stop spreading fake news and to educate other students for becoming a digitally literate and responsible citizen. To be the model netizen we all claim to be, we have to take a step back and listen to the experts—reliable and credible sources. Social media is taking over the world, and even if we post, tweet, and upload everyday, it is surprising to know about the little things we tend to overlook all the time.

HOW TO BECOME AN OVERNIGHT SENSATION ✨

It became viral because the game was so exciting where a lot of audience were focused on the game. A thousand people are actively screaming and supporting the team while one audience is calmly sleeping at the corner, this makes them feel funny because of how opposite his reaction is to other people. Netizens will start to judge him, bully him or make fun of the video by sharing and commenting to the post. Other people might feel related because a lot of people have lack of sleep, luckily this man is able to sleep even outside the house and noisy environment. Also netizens might feel amazed how brave he is even with a lot of cameras and it was live, he chose to follow his feeling of sleepiness regardless of the circumstances.

Compared to this man who earns dollars by livestreaming his sleep, he managed to engage netizens where people started to like him by donating dollars to him while sleeping. This video is intentionally unlike the first video which gathered judgements and negative reactions to him. While this man gives entertainment to the netizens and is curious what’s going on to him if they bothered his sleeping. The other video was people started to become curious if he snorted while sleeping. Of course, the more people are viewing, the more it becomes viral. If it became viral, other netizens would become interested in the video.

Applying our previous reading, both articles were engaging with others in a beat. It established connections and rapport to the audience whether it is negative or positive. Because, positive or negative publicity is still a publicity and netizens will always share a lot with their own sets of active followers. The headline was also compelling and interesting which will seek information about that topic. Because of continued engagement and sharing of the article works because of commenting and keep coming back to the audience which generates a lot of traffic and discussion.

MANAGING YOUR AUDIENCE ✔️

As the digital era shaped the world, people want to keep updated on what’s happening around the world or even just want to be entertained. Having said this, people nowadays focus more on trendy stories that might catch their interest easily. By not having a hard time to find a newspaper or buying magazines in a convenient store—mobile phone will be useful. This is the challenge in the part of a publisher, vlogger or influencer where the content is embedded onto a thin metal screen. If I would be a famous vlogger, the very challenging part is bringing creative works to the public eye. However, upon reading the article, it gives me more tips and good ideas to maintain your audience and attract new audiences.

As a famous influencer, there are many things to maintain the quality of your content as a content creator. Based on some advice in the article, I should engage myself to the audience to maintain the reach to be always fronted in the newsfeed of other users. Being an influencer or publisher you should be active on social media sites—Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and other social media sites. Showing positive attitudes to the viewers by simply replying to their comments will get a wider audience. Receiving positive feedback from the viewers will give me a high rating of my credibility.

This also means that I should put people in my creativity as they feel they are important—users, the audience and co-media publisher. Aside from having a catchy headline and precise content, their role is to make other people have the reasons to keep coming back. I will inform my subject, make my audience updated and collaborate with other famous publishers which are the best way to attract new audiences and maintain them. Always give greatness and acknowledgement to the supporters and make them feel that they are blessings to me.

SOCIAL LISTENING ☕️

These channels/influencers are popular because of their way of communication to the viewers. They share something so special, unique and so real that we want to share it with everyone we know. Especially during this time of pandemic where many people stay at home, they are having a leisure time to be entertained with learning and doing things. For example is the Rei’s makeover room which became viral because this is something relevant to the viewers. They can use their time at home in decorating a room or create something new to be more productive at home to improve the creativity in mind.

This kind of content where people are compelled to share it with everyone they know makes the channel gain followers and reach a wider audience. Netizens tend to share, react and post about the viral video to be also into what is trendy and relevant. Good influencers create content that people love, that people relate to. They never stop creating another content because they believe that you cannot see all the people who are watching with you and quietly following or supporting you unless you prove it. That’s why popular influencers are on a consistent basis, continuing uploading content that people every single day will definitely follow them.

PODCAST THOUGHTS—first time listener! 🖤

This is my first time listening to a podcast and this pilot episode about love scams really caught my attention and I find this interesting. In my personal view, the content, the technicalities and the power of voice can make this trend and will earn a lot in selling it—will be sold. However, i think the platform she used is not for all the people like not all the people are privileged enough to afford spotify unlike youtube and facebook who is mass budget friendly, also not all the people have the spotify app. It’s hard to make it trend if the platform is not the most used by the people. But as a first time listener of a podcast, it really caught my attention in the way she communicated by telling the story first about experiences, strategies of a love scammer then how to catch a scammer and give advice not to trust immediately especially in financial matters.

Content wise and the calming voice is good but before people hear it, the audience should have the Spotify app or maybe listen to the browser if they saw the post of journalist Tarra Quismundo on her facebook and click it to listen to the podcast. Maybe, Ms. Tarra should advertise it more on facebook or instagram to make it available to the public. Even uploading it on youtube, it can be monetized and many netizens have youtube apps, they will listen to it gracefully and will learn a lot from her. It’s just the matter of effective mediums to be used to reach a wider audience. But overall, the content is really good, concise and educating. We have to be really extra careful when dealing with people online to avoid love scams.

WHY GO DIGITAL? 🤔📲

We should go for digital publishing because of its lots of advantages and practicality. It has a wider reach locally and internationally because of the flexibility of its post where anyone can share, react and comment. Also it is budget friendly, instead of expensing to papers, publications and such, in just one click, it will create new revenue to the company. It also helps the people to have easier access to market, to shop and to be informed on what’s currently happening.

I am in favor of it because honestly, I will be benefited from it, especially to my course as a communication student and also as an active student council officer. I can easily tap people to talk even if in a long distance. I can also publish my own story to any kind of platform. As we shift into a new normal where digital is our world, everything is easier and more accessible.

DIGITAL PUBLISHING TRENDS 💻

This 2020 is the year we act as a new normal, a new normal with the use of technology in the digital age–most especially mobile devices. And now, 2021 is the year of transition, as I think most Filipinos prefer the trend is the rise of Mobile devices. This trend will boost engagement of your content and even help you to market your audience through push notifications and news feed most especially in the time where people mostly use phones scrolling and searching–the prime time. I believe this trend will be the foundation of news, markets and issues might arise in social media and even other platforms.

If people will post, share and read simultaneously, it will create a trend. And what you’ve searched previously will automatically appear on your feed. Especially during this time of pandemic where people stay home, mobile wallets are most used to shop, buy and even pay bills. It is the friendly gadget that will be the companion even if you’re alone and will help you to grab what you want to know, to buy and even to work that might affect your future. This is how mobile devices more advanced that soon will be as powerful as desktops.
