Back to the Blog


A new school year and a new program means more blogging!

I will take this opportunity to reintroduce myself. I am an Advertising Media Management student at Centennial College in Toronto. I have recently committed an honours B.A. in Mass Communication Studies and Multimedia, and I have always been interested in new media and its place in communication (particularly advertising and promotional communication).

When I'm not at school I am typically watching, reading about, or playing sports. I currently play hockey through both the winter and summer, and I am an active snowboarder during the snowy months. I follow Hockey, Football, Baseball and Basketball all fairly closely (especially the first two).

This blog will be used as my opportunity to comment on interactive media in the news. Typically, I will find an article or news segment that i find rather interesting, summarize it, and provide some input on my opinions related to the information that it provides.

I find many types of new media interesting, but I will likely concentrate on topics related to communication. This will likely include (but not be limited to...) social networking, interactive marketing and media in politics.

I hope that my blog can be used as an opportunity for not only me to share my thoughts, but also as a forum for discussion with my peers. I am interested in any commentary that anybody would like to share... please comment on my posts or email me at gsgerber@gmail.com.

That's it for now... I'll leave you with a funny video outlining the potential disasters of using Wikipedia as a credible source.
