California for a job, but now I am not so sure. Other than that, I do not think I have many issues with this career choice, and I think that it is perfectly suited for me. Outside of my major, I think the most intriguing issue for me is the process of publishing books, and also writing them.

If I do want to publish my own story one day, I think it would be nice to know all the steps I…

Sometimes self publishing can do a novel more justice. Why? Sometimes the right audience is online and will download it digitally versus those who would go to a bookstore and buy it. It is something I never considered, but as millennial writing millennial characters with…

Gate-keeping and community Community media outlets make a gate-keeping decision each time a determination is made whether or not to publish UGC either online or in print. Media gatekeeping relates to the decisions made by journalists about what to publish, without consideration of why those decisions were made (Bass, 1969; White, 1997; Shoemaker & Vos, 2009).
