New platforms are forming daily. New media is ever-changing and today’s platform may not last through tomorrow. With New Media constantly changing there is one thing to remember: Audience and Content.

Some tips to keep in mind:

  • Practice:  you might succeed or be your best at first but, try it out
  • Never say never: in the media industry you will wear a lot of hats, be willing to take on anything and it will help you have a better understanding of  your organization
  • Understanding your mission: by understanding your mission it will be easier to make important decisions

Lessons learned:

  • Be nimble when challenges arise
