Yvette Walker's Presentation

I had the pleasure to sit in on a presentation by UCO's newest Ethics professor, Yvette Walker.

Walker has worked in communications for a long time, spending time with major newspapers, including The Oklahoman.

Walker explained how blogging can cause egos to run wild. I tend to agree.

When you blog, you're more-or-less emphasizing your personality and character and smothering your posts with it.

This can often times become overbearing for the "traditional journalist" who may not be completely comfortable with adding opinion and personality to their work.

It was an interesting presentation and Walker really gave some insight into the world of journalistic blogging, what is a blog, how to get into blogging, who reads blogs, which bloggers are most successful etc.

I was very impressed with her experience and knowledge of the topic.
