One Status, Three Takes

As you know, social media is an all-encompassing media network to get information out there. It ranges from TV, internet, and apps, to radio, newspaper, and podcasts and impacts many individuals. The final project for the course will be for you to demonstrate your knowledge on a topic of your choice in a creative way that you choose to convey the information.
