Today in New Media 11, my partner and I had a super productive day working on our podcast project. We focused on one of the most important steps: reaching out to potential interviewees. We spent time crafting professional emails to people we hope to feature on our show, making sure to communicate clearly and respectfully skills we’re learning are essential for journalism and digital media.

After sending our emails, we turned our attention to our WordPress site. We created and published a new post to share our project goals and showcase the work we’re doing in class. It was exciting to see our ideas take shape online, helping us practice digital storytelling and audience engagement firsthand.

We also worked on social media posts to help promote our podcast and connect with our audience. From writing thoughtful captions to selecting visuals, it was a hands-on lesson in how storytelling, technology, and communication come together in the real world. Days like this remind us how New Media 11 is helping us develop not only technical skills but also critical thinking, creativity, and responsibility in digital spaces.
