Camosun’s Media
January 23rd, 2020
Athena Pimentel

I don’t usually pay attention to any news reports in the newspaper as I never have the attention span to sit down and read the newspaper. I rarely hear the radio as I always attach my phone to the aux cord in my car for music as soon as I go in the car, which causes the radio to never turn on. I occasionally find myself watching any news reports on TV when my parents have left the news on in the background while we are eating dinner. I normally find myself looking at news reports when they pop up on the screen of the social media apps on my phone or laptop. They sometimes are advertisements in between youtube videos, just trending tweets on twitter on the news subject, or posts on social media such as Instagram were posts are promoted for more viewers to see such as the news. I believe Camosun’s public relations is important for teachers and students for distributing information. Public relations are helpful with displaying scheduled deadlines through newsletters, promoting events going on around campus and keeping everyone up to date during days such as a snowstorm for if the school would be closed or not. They control the display of information through the Camosun website but also through everyday emails, even just monthly newsletters, and through Camosun’s social media accounts. Although I do not use most traditional or even newer mass communications for the news I still find other ways like through some social media and by talking to friends and family, who may have learned about the news reports from a news source.

Opinion Piece 1 - Tuition

Lowering Tuition Pimentel February 16th, 2020 5:00pm I believe paying for tuition is good, although I do believe that if we are paying for tuition that it should be lowered. In recent years tuition has been raised by about 3 - 4%. The reason that tuition has been raised is for an increase in financial aid, demand surge, a need for more faculty and being able to pay them, a lack of funding from the provincial government, and for increasing student services.  If students had to focus less on working to afford school, they could concentrate on graduating with proper education to get a higher paying job. Students are stressing more about finances these days than an actual test. But lowering the fees will make grants, tax credits and loans downsize, which means poorer students will be more likely to pay for more university/college. If fees were lowered the decrease in tuition would mainly be benefited more to the wealthier students. A theory for this tuition could be represented

Opinion 2 - Dogs Are Better Than Cats

Dogs Vs Cats Athena Pimentel March 22nd, 2020 Dogs are better than cats. Although many cat people believe that a cat is far better, this piece should be able to convince the cat lovers otherwise, that a dog is the better choice of pet to have. A dog is known as a man/ woman’s best friend, as the dog will be compassionate no matter their, shape or size. As they are smart, helpful and create a healthy active lifestyle with their owner. Dogs will never ignore humans especially if it’s their owner and will always respond when their name is being called while cats usually tend to just ignore their owners and just go about their day. Every dog will act differently as dogs come in all different shapes, sizes and different breeds. Dogs are as little as toy poodles to as huge as a Great Dane. Each one of these dogs can match an owner’s personality from being a laid back chill lifestyle to a very physically active one. With dogs bringing a very active lifestyle, daily physical activity

Presentation Report

Virgin Radio Athena Pimentel February 6th, 2020, 3:00 pm PST When opportunities are given to you, you must take them, says Chris Palliser. Palliser is a local radio co-host for 107.3 Virgin radio in Victoria, BC. He began his career in school at Camosun College when he noticed a poster for the Applied Communications Program from 2001 to 2003, which he applied for and loved it, but definitely wished he paid more attention in class. When he finished his program he got an opportunity at a radio station in Fort McMurray, Alberta for radio stations there spending about seven years there freelancing and being a radio announcer. Palliser moved to Vancouver, BC after a job opening was available at the Beat 94.5, he noted that he emailed and made connections with them in the previous two years before the opportunity was even available. He worked there for 10 years, during this, he married his wife and had two daughters. The Beat 94.5 as well during this time changed to Virgin Radio,
