Media Exposure: Intro

-
By: Quay'Shawn Akins

The first day that we went into the Stay at home order I didn't really take it as serious as I did now.By that I mean I thought it was going to be for like a week or that since we experience sickness like Ebola or Swine flu that doctors would fix it fast. Unfortunately, this is like day 246(not really) so this is a pretty serious thing. The day I realized "OK this is serious" and " OK this world is in trouble". Well watching CBS seeing the president and Dr. Birx during these weeks on the world news. Them taking turns to speak about what to expect and not to expect I'm think I would see something serious on TV like people wearing masks or something crazy like flu scene. I'm still watching the TV our president laughing and joking, there were promises made by him that this virus wouldn't even touch serious on this US while the doctor is in a more serious mode than him, just seeing things like that during this time especially. I would have to say hearing all those stories to seeing different posts on social media that made me a little worried so much to turn my television off and phone off that is when less media exposure mode was activated!

This blog will be a shared blog, and we will all share our thoughts as those who comment and those who post. I'm Regina Cassell, and I will be the leader of this expedition. About Me: My family sold our home of 15 years and moved a mile away to our new home on College Avenue. It was quite the adventure, and I have not fully recovered. I was still clinging to my 20s the last time we moved.  I’ve been at Washburn since July 2000. My husband, Gene, is the sports information director at Washburn, and we have two boys, Jacob, 13, and Jared, 11. I’m a busy wife and mom.  I have taught as a lecturer in the mass media department since the fall of 2003, and I am also the director of Student Media at Washburn. The Student Media staff keeps  washburnreview.org  updated with new content all year long along with producing three Bod Magazines, 26 weekly issues
