The Public Relations Plan:
In my Introduction to Public Relations class, JOMC 130, a group of four students and I created a public relations plan for The Cornucopia House, a cancer center in the Durham area. The plan was designed to help Cornucopia House raise awareness among oncologists and patients. We designed this plan with only a $600 budget.
The Public Relations Presentation:
In JOMC 130, my public relations group designed and presented a power point presentation on April 29, 2002. The presentation highlighted the main goals of our public relations plan for Cornucopia House. The plan identified our audiences and explained how we would implement this plan if we were Public Relations practitioners.
The First Newswriting Sample
In my newswriting class, JOMC 53, we were given the assignment to cover Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have A Dream" speech as if we were listening to the speech in Washington D.C. for the first time. Thus, this sample demonstrates my ability to write for a particular audience. Also, since he delivered his speech in 1964, the Civil Rights Movement was just gaining momentum. I had to write as if I was a reporter during the 1960s, and immerse myself into the tumultuous atmosphere in Washington D.C. during that time.
The Second Newswriting Sample
On June 12, 2002, my JOMC 53 class felt liberated from the confines of the classroom. We wrote our daily assignment surrounded by walls of contemporary artwork. We were assigned to explore, research and visit the Ackland Art museum on Columbia St. in Chapel Hill and report on its new exhibit "Eye in the Sky, Vsions of Contemporary Art from the Ackland Collection." I found Bruce Wall's "Metrofreako#32," the most fascinating. With his splashes of vibrant color on canvas, Wall brilliantly captured the climate of The East Village in New York during the 1980s.
