Departmental Meeting
Jack and I met for thirty minutes on Wednesday, and then during Cucalorus weekend 30 minutes before Wilmington on Fire. We troubleshooted how he might go about making a shares and likes calendar for the V6 team. We then talked about making posts and how he would need to divide those up between us.
Animation Meeting with Tyler
Tyler and I met and talked about the animations left for this semester. I told him that in each animation there needs to be Cosmo, the planet, and #boldlygo, as well as keeping it in the same environment. Tyler seemed to be in agreement and I messaged Grace to keep me involved with developments for new ideas so we can keep the marketing and art department talking.
Oped Piece
I talked with my dad and gleaned some experiences he had as a journalist. He had an oped piece published when he was around my age too! He said that it's a great idea, and even if it doesn't get published it's good experience and can be easily transformed into a blog post to go on other film blogs or less prestigious newspapers. He said that the millennial basis for the piece was an interesting and relevant topic, and that he's seen a lot of pieces about the same kind of stuff so it has a good chance of being published. He also said I need to develop a cover letter for it before sending it out, and that he would be happy to help edit it! He also said to not only attach the press release but to also put it in the body of the email.
I've also been talking with my friends and one has a cousin at Huffington Post, so hopefully I can finagle my way in there.
Research

You can only send an oped piece to one publication at a time!
"If your op-ed does not get accepted, but still concerns a topic of current concern and has
been recently covered, you might consider shortening it and resubmitting as a letter to
the editor."
