A Record Breaking Weekend

-
This past weekend marked the start of OAC play for the Ohio Northern Men’s Lacrosse team, this year we opened conference play against the Wilmington Quakers. Wilmington came into the game with a record of 1-4 while the polar bears entered the game with 7-1 record.
The polar bears started the game off very quickly with racking up ten goals in the first quarter of the game and quickly made it obvious that the polar bears meant business. Saturday’s game was a historic game for the polar bears as they broke a number of school records during the game as well as many benchmarks for individual players.

One of the many records broken on was the team scoring record, the final score of the games was   26-2 both the highest scoring game in Ohio Northern Men’s Lacrosse history and the greatest margin of victory in the short history of the program. These records broke the previous of 25 total points and a 22 point margin of victory set last season in a 25-3 victory over Calvin College. Another impressive stat from Saturday’s competition is the number of goal scorers at 18 different players, as well as the first thirteen goals all being scored by different players.

After Saturday’s contest Ohio northern is tied with Capitol, Otterbein, John Carrol, and Marietta all currently having a 1-0 record in conference play. The bears will be back in action on Saturday at 1 o’clock in Aliance Ohio against the Raiders of Mount Union and are looking to extend the win streak to 8 straight wins.

As the semester starts to come to an end and as we finish Karen Freburg's  text book Social Media for Strategic Communication I think it would be good to recap and look back as some things that I learned and things I found interesting in her book.  Karen's book covered a wide range of different topics all somewhat related to social media, from do's and don't's of content creation to the best ways to pay for your advertisements on social media. The amount of information covered in this book is very impressive, if you have a question about social media any facet of social media you can likely find the answer to that question in this book.  I think what I enjoyed most about the readings we had to do for class were the interviews at the beginning of every chapter. I found it very interesting the different routes and ways social media professionals have gotten into the positions they are currently in. It seems as if most if not all social media professionals did not e

Fake News in Sri Lanka

After the horrible events that transpired in Sri Lanka on Easter Sunday there is a temporary block of many social media sites in an effort to stop the spread of fake or inaccurate news. This was first discovered by a group that monitors internet censorship when they came across this new blockage of content. When asked about the block the Sri Lankan government both claims that the social media blackout was their doing and explains  their reasoning behind their doings. The Sri Lankan government blocked social media for what I think is a very good reason. That reason being the attempt to stop the premature spread of fake and or fraudulent news. The issue that is fake news has become a much larger issue than ever before making it very difficult for the readers, listeners, and watchers to know what is accurate and inaccurate.  I think that the Sri Lankan government blocking social media in and out of their country is a very good idea, it limits the possible sources of fake news availab
