Greetings! So this is what it feels like to be on the forefront of the blogging world eh? Well, alright then – let’s start off with an explanation about the content of this up and coming blog. As you can see, the name of my blog is “Media Mogul.” It’s probably not every day that you hear the term “mogul,” and for good reason. Moguls have an unmatched persona as they consistently absorb three unique c’s in life: confidence, cunningness and capablility.
Need an example? Rapper Jay-Z is a mogul. I’m no expert on the hip-hop scene, but such is not a requirement to recognize one of the biggest names in the business. Not only is he the CEO of Def Jam and Rockafella Records, but also co-owner of the New Jersey Nets NBA franchise. Hip-hop fan or not, listen to his lyrics carefully just once and you’ll discover that this mogul had a rough childhood. Completely abandoned by his father at the age of 12, Jay-z communicated his life struggles through the medium of hip-hop music. There was a point where Jay-z was just a boy with a dream… and now you have an idea of what happened next - he’s living it.
Which leads me to my point. I’m a media mogul in the sense that I devote countless hours analyzing the media. I breathe it, speak it, read it, write it and work it. Not a day goes by without sticking my nose in the latest information pertaining to new media trends.
Finally, its impossible to ignore that most moguls are established – but undoubetly - they all had started somewhere, and here is my start. I am grateful for a current job working as an online community screener for an entertainment company, a perfect compliment to my experience and degree in Communications. I’ve learned so much about kids’ communities and how to keep the chillins’ safe online. Every day of work, I walk in with a whole piece of “online community pie,” only to finish the shift with crumbs all over my face and an uncanny appetite for more.
I fully intend on updating this blog on a fairly consistent basis. New media, Kids Communities & Effective Communication will be the three main sub-topics for this bloggerooski, with the occasional tangent to make things as interesting as possible. So, without further ado, I bring to you.. the Media Mogul Blog. Enjoy!
