Disney on the Rise

Image result for disney plus





If you have not heard of Disney+ yet, here's what you should know. A little over a week ago, Nov. 12, Disney launched their new streaming service, like Netflix and Hulu. In that time, Disney+ has gathered over 10 million followers which compares to Hulu which has 28 million followers after over 10 years of being active. Netflix has 150 million subscribers after 10 years. During their first week, the streaming service crashed, and many users were not able to use it. It was later described as a coding issue that would be fixed soon. Disney offers this service for $7 per month while competitors like Netflix charge $5 more. I do wonder what will become of Netflix. I think the quality of the Netflix original movies are what keeps them so popular. Soon all content belonging to Disney will be pulled from other streaming services. Netflix just added older shows from Nickelodeon in what I believe are efforts to keep up with Disney+. I currently still have both services, but I wonder how much longer that will continue.

I have been waiting for Disney+ because it brings back many of the old shoes I grew up. Shows, movies, shorts, and other content from the "vault" has been brought back for our enjoyment. Not only Disney channel itself but Marvel, National Geographic, Pixar and the Star Wars franchises are all available because Disney now owns them. Just today before writing this blog I was sidetracked because I found an older movie I loved when I was a kid. I will be spending a lot of time taking a trip down memory lane.

Until Next Time,
James

    My husband and I pre-ordered Disney+ a week before it was set to release because we were so excited for it! I'm a big Disney fan and I have been binge watching movies and shows like crazy! For all the movie content on there it's completely worth the $7 a month. They even have my favorite movie of all time on there, The Parent Trap (1961.)

    Hello,
    I think that Disney + is a great idea! I personally have not gotten a subscription but plan to in the future to see all of my favorite old shows! I think it is helpful for persons to educate the younger generations on how amazing Disney is and will continue to be.
    Thanks for sharing,
    Alyson

    I haven't created a Disney+ account yet because I can't figure out how to access it on my TV, but trust me, the moment I do, I will have an account. I've heard nothing but good about it and I am also interested to see how Netflix does with this. I feel like Netflix has been canceling all of the best movies and series so I think it is going to bite them in the butt now that Disney+ came out.

    I personally love Disney+. My sister and I are sharing an account and we gave everyone in my family a profile. Because of the variety and older shows and movies on the platform, I think Disney+ will continue to by very successful for a long time. Over Thanksgiving break, my family and I started watching the Marvel movies in order, thanks to Disney+.

Numbers in PR

If you're like me, then you were a fan of math until the alphabet was thrown into the mix. From algebra to calculus, I was able to do the work well, but I never truly enjoyed doing it. In chapter 10 of Social Media for Strategic Communication, it talks about measurements, evaluation, budget, and calendars in public relations. We have talked about calendars before, but what stood out to me was the measurements and evaluation. In our class discussion, it was brought up that a common misconception with people working in PR is that they do not use numbers or analytics. I was one who believed PR was more about working with people or social media and not the analytical side of things. I chose marketing and communications to study because I thought that was an opportunity to put my creativity and people skills to use. I love working with a team or interacting with new people when I'm on the job. Hearing that even in social media and public relation that analytics still fol...

Types of Listening

How many of you would consider yourselves a good listener? What is the difference between hearing and listening? Do you think you practice any bad listening habits? These are all questions we were asking in my interpersonal communications class when we started a new second on listening. Hearing is simply the process of sound waves hitting your eardrum, but listening is receiving and responding to the messages. when talking about listening, there is mindful and mindless. Mindful listening is paying careless attention and mindless is focusing on something else or reacting with the "okay" or "yeah" but not really knowing what is being said. You can't stop yourself from hearing, but you can stop listening. Here are five poor listening habits that can happen when we stop listening. 1. Pseudo-listening. This is where you try to trick the speaker into think you are paying careful attention. this form of listening gives the appearance that you are paying careful...

End of the Road

When I first signed up for the class, it was just to get more credits and work towards a minor. I thought the class would be a breeze. In my mind, social media was a good tool to use in my field of study, but I assumed my knowledge of social media was advanced enough to where I could make it through this class without any problems. While that was not the case, I learned more than I ever thought I would about social media and how much goes into using it. I have three takeaways that I want to share from my experiences in this class. First, I can't run from the numbers anymore. I have said this before, but I was never a huge fan of analytics when I first came to college. I did well in the classes I took, but it was never a joy of mine. However, from this class I learned that it is everywhere even in social media. The longer I try to get away from it the harder time I am going to have when I must use it; so why not embrace right? Second, find your voice and stay true to you....
