Before reading Gallagher’s article, I had mostly heard about algorithms in regards to YouTube, since I know a lot of friends and content creators who worry about visibility on the site. I’d always wondered how small creators ended up in my “suggested videos” feed, but if factors like “uploading videos with consistent content” (Gallagher 27)…
Gallagher argues that writers may often need to change their writing style and the language they want to use in order to cater to algorithms. Do you think writers necessarily need to sacrifice their use of language and the ideas they want to get across, potentially alienating real audience members, in order to cater to…
Questions: When considering an audience, which do you think is more important: considering the various people interested in the ‘project’, such as students, faculty, the media, or community members, or focusing on ways to increase the circulation by focusing on how users find the ‘project’? If both are equally important, why? Of the three theories…
For my transmedia package project, I would like to use a silent horror film I’m currently working on as the jumping off point for my expansion. My horror film is focused on a cursed item and how to get rid of a curse and or stop demons from taking over control of your body. Most…
Let’s Really Talk Since we returned to school this semester, I had a desire to document my last days here at Susquehanna. America is in a unique time where we have the language to discuss socio-political issues, yet the post-racial and liberal rhetoric minimizes and offends the problems of the marginalized.

So I’m not sure exactly what I want to do but one idea I have is to use a short story I wrote last semester called “Endurance”, which goes back and forth between two time periods in running and hockey scenes. I have some ideas as to make this a transmedia storytelling but nothing is…
The purpose of my project is to contribute to the sociopolitical dialogue on an issue I am personally very passionate about. It is also to help inform youth on the topic and on how they can get involved, and to help show the professional adult public how passionate we are about this topic and how…
My transmedia package will be based off of vintage postcards. For the past few years I’ve collected old postcards that have already been written out and sent, most of them are almost 100 years old. My plan is to take the images from the front of the postcards and redesign them someway, a lot of…
The transmedia package project I am thinking of doing at this point is centered around a short story/screenplay that I wrote a few semesters ago. The first medium would be the short story or screenplay itself (most likely the short story, as I am in the process of rewriting it), and I would probably make…
For my transmedia package, I will be expanding the life of Dunce Cat. I was not aware that Dunce Cat was so well liked, so when everyone told me they wanted more I was thrilled. I never thought Dunce Cat would ever go beyond memes, but why not? For the package, I will create Dunce…
