Exciting! I'll *try* to pop in a bit before class tonight. Are you using a hashtag for the event? #BlueskyForDummies ?

@miss604.com @butow.bsky.social
Our Bluesky meetup & book launch is tonight. Super casual, drop by the Lamplighter anytime after 4:30pm.

International orders (USA to CAN) are taking longer to arrive (May 15-20 now) but I know Amazon orders have arrived.

I’ll have one shiny copy of the book to display tonight though 🥹

I recently came across a fascinating opinion piece on media innovation by @sci-belfast.bsky.social on Bluesky. It dives into how digital trends are reshaping storytelling, making it a must-read for anyone interested in the future of media. #UCWCOMM205

I like practicing in front of my friends (they’re a tough audience!). It helps me build confidence and get comfortable with my delivery. I also record myself to catch any areas for improvement. Excited for the final presentations! #UCWCOMM205 @wahibachair.com @elvafisher.bsky.social

This course was amazing! The most practical I had! The biggest learning for me was the 3Cs. As a Spanish speaker it is challenging to be concise while writing. Thanks a lot to @elvafisher.bsky.social and @wahibachair.com for this great journey.

#UCWCOMM205 Final project presentations are coming up! 🎤 Practicing is key to success. How are you preparing? I like practicing in front of a mirror—it helps me keep my head up and engage with the audience! How are you practicing for your final presentation? @wahibachair.com

1) Features are long, while news articles get straight to the point.

2) Features can be ever-green, while news tends to become irrelevant.

3) Features are more for entertainment or promotion, while news is more to inform.

Don't have any tips to add, but he gives some great tips when it comes to practicing our presentations.

The one that stood out the most to me was tip #3 to focus on 1 or 2 improvements at a time. Focusing on too many can cause us to poorly develop on each.

From my experience, feature writing is more in-depth and engaging than news writing. While news writing focuses on delivering facts quickly and concisely, feature writing allows for storytelling, creativity, and a more personal tone. #UCWCOMM205 @wahibachair.com
