Another One Bites the Dust

-




Last Saturday the polar bear men's lacrosse team traveled across the state to Alliance, Ohio to face off against the purple raiders of Mount Union University. A game that is highly anticipated by both teams each year. This game is almost guaranteed to be a gritty physical game full of hard hits and a lot of talking between players. This year the game was exactly as expected and the weather also reflected what was to come.

On a cool, wet day in North East Ohio The polar bears of Ohio Northern Faced off against the Purple Raiders of Mount Union University a series that has a very competitive past and continues to be a very competitive bout.


The game started with a lot of up and down action as there were several turnovers in the first few minutes of the game that quickly slowed down and turned into more of a defensive battle as the half ended with a tie at three goals for each team.

The second half would be a very interesting one and also an action packed half of lacrosse. with the polar bears coming out of halftime full of energy and ready to go after a rousing halftime speech, Netting four goals in the third quarter to the purple raiders zero, and scoring the first seven goals of the half. However the Purple Raiders were not done yet as they netted another five goals in the fourth quarter along with the polar bears five to bring the final score to 12-8 in the favor of the Polar bears. Another week another win for the good guys, the bears will be back in action in Ada on Wednesday against Heidelberg and then against on Saturday against Muskingum for senior day.

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.

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
