Jan. 29 Weekly Article

This week I opted to write about a video rather than a written article. I revisited a video I have seen from an organization that inspired me to take a class like Comms 416, Fight the New Drug. This video gives a brief summary of their origin story and it made me think of our class project. Fight the New Drug is an organization with a mission to expose the dangers of pornography in people personal lives, their relationships and the community as a whole. They, like us, started in college by finding a cause that they all felt was important, researching it, and creatively pumping out information for the benefit of any all people who are interested.

                
I feel that this story is relevant for our group and this class because I feel that it is inspiring to see other people and organizations successfully accomplish what we in this class our trying to do. It also was a useful reminder that we need to skillfully execute all of the content we put out, making sure that it is all not only accurate, but also visually appealing. It is also important to find a cause that you are passionate about. All in all, Fight the New drug is a fantastic organization to mirror if one is trying to further a social issue using the internet and social media.
