About
About me
My name is Logan Johns, a first year CCT student as well as a multimedia journalist. I am especially interested in the stories and people who become notable in our society as well as whose contributions are too overlooked. Through my work and studies, I want to explore how media shapes. what we know about politics and history whose voices are heard and how storytelling can encourage people to become more engaged int he world around them.
This website is a space for me to explore those questions, highlight notable voices and moments and examine the continuing relationship between media, democracy and Civil Rights?
My Avatar: A world of possibilities
My Avatar is a three ringed binder that represents my key word notable. With my interests in politics, civic engagement emerging with technology, I chose a binder because it can hold, organize and continually add new information just as my understanding of these subjects will continue to develop throughout my CCT experience.
The binder is organized through past, present and future. The past will represent the people, movements and moments that shaped our country and democracy. The present represents my place within that continuing story and the ways people participate in politics today. The future represents my growing interests in artificial intelligence and how technology will transform political communication. My key word “notable” is to explain something or someone that is significant enough to be recognized. I connected this idea to m interests in politics and civic engagement because of these areas influences whose voices are heard and which issues receive attention.
Strength and weaknesses: Strengths: One of the main strengths of my binder is that it can grow and change over time. Unlike a finished book, I can add, remove, reorganize, or update pages in a binder. This flexibility shows that I am committed to learning and willing to change my views when I learn something new. The binder also connects the past, present, and future. Newspaper clippings represent history and traditional media, political images show my current interest in civic issues, and technology drawings highlight my curiosity about artificial intelligence and the future of politics. The binder also acts as a place to keep important information, which fits with my keyword, notable, because it helps preserve people, events, and ideas that matter.
Weaknesses: The binder has some limits because it only holds what I choose to put in it. This means that important people, ideas, or events might be left out. This is similar to the problem of deciding what is considered notable—who gets to decide what is remembered? Using newspaper material also shows that traditional media is selective and does not include every story or give everyone the same attention. Even though technology and artificial intelligence can make more information available, they also bring up new questions about which information gets noticed and which is ignored.
