Professional Writing - Student Blog

What if I was a content creator for the Toronto Blue Jays? 🤔 https://t.co/GmRG8dxrNq — Emily Schick (@eschicklakehead) July 6, 2022 Let's have fun with a little hypothetical here... what if I was a content creator for the Toronto Blue Jays? I mean, imagine! That would be pretty cool, right? There would be a lot of responsibility , though, and a key part of the job - before anything else could be done - would be determining the audience.  In hopes that this one day might actually happen, let's go through an audience summary so that when the day comes (pleaseeee 🙏) I am prepared and know my target audience.  There are seven key aspects in creating an audience summary... Determine who will be reading the content Identify the purpose of publication - d etermine what needs to be broadcasted AND think about how you will do this  Identify any other organizations competing for the same audience  Think about the style of the current content  Pre-plan for any obstacles ...

Currently, I am an Educational Assistant with the Simcoe County District School Board. I've always dreamed of being a teacher, so I can't wait to start the program. Maybe I'll see some of you there! Some things I enjoy doing in my free time: really anything outside! I love biking, walking, kayaking, ATV'ing, hiking, boating, wake surfing, camping all that stuff! Our 5 year old Golden Doodle, Molly, loves to join us on these adventures too. See below for some pictures of all our adventures. I'm also francophone - meaning, I speak French! I am trying to keep my fluency up as I don't speak it as much anymore. I currently attend conversation groups at an organization in Simcoe County called La Clé. I really enjoy using my seco...
