When I googled Emily Briones this website was the first thing to show up. From this website I’m assuming that Emily is a student athlete for Utah State University. Emily is on the gymnastics team at Utah State. She is from San Antonio, Texas. She has one brother and one sister. In 2017 she suffered a season ending injury. Emily takes her schooling very seriously as she was a Whitesides Scholar Athlete for two years as well as graduated high school with a 4.0 GPA. I was able to assume a lot of information and start to see patterns in Emily from the website because there was so much information about her in one place. Another source I found that backs up that she is on the gymnastic team at USU is her Instagram profile.

Reflection on Social Media Case 6: Basketball Cop

Once a stereotype is built or created and can be hard for some people to see past those stereotypes. This article ta

Reflection on Social Media Case 5: Paypal Deleted Comments

When is it okay to delete comments on social media? It isn’t okay to delete comments because they are say something negative about your business that you don’t agree with. When a company delete comments from their social media because they are off topic or negative it makes that company look bad. This article gives a run down on when it is okay to delete comments. I like this article because it is pretty cut and dry of when to delete comments and when to leave them up. One of the things that it says is that if the comment is negative but civil leave it up because customers deserve to have their voice be heard. It was interesting to me that with the Paypal incident people were commenting negative comments on a post that had nothing to do with what the content of the post was. This goes to show that when people want their opinion on something to be heard they will post it wherever it will be seen. Paypal was not expecting that reaction on their post and they handled i
