I think most of us would agree that hypertext definitely changes the way that a text is read. A digital text is very different from a physical text, and I’ve found in my experience that I tend more toward “browsing” or “hunting” rather than grazing when it comes to a digital text (Vandendorpe 205). I…
Much like my fellow classmates I only experienced algorithmic audiences through social media. When I hear the word algorithmic I think of algorithm which then leads me to thinking about how terrible the current youtube algorithm is. Right now the youtube algorithm is dubbed as the “adpocalypse”. I found out by reading this post that…
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)…

The shows brought the toys to the attention of the children, who wanted to continue the adventures after the show ended. The…
When I think of transmedia franchises, the first things that come to mind are Disney franchises such as the princesses or Star Wars, or video game franchises such as Resident Evil or Halo. However, I’m not a huge fan of any of those things, so I want to offer a new take on transmedia storytelling…
My personal career goal is to become a writer for movies and television, but honestly, I’ll settle for anything visual media related. This is what inspired my ideas for my second digital media-based project. For my remix project, I’ve deceived to create a compilation video using clips from television shows, movies and interviews focused on…
