The resulting literary review ending up\nconsidering three different aspects of how social media has affected travel\njournalism and divided it into (1) powershifts and new modes, (2) user\ngenerated content, and (3) the online environment and lived experience. Readings\nand reflections on the material were chosen based on compounding interest and\ninspired a real interest in a topic that was much deeper than I expected it to be.\nIn fact, my initial understanding of this topic was completely different then\nwhere my studies taught me. An unanticipated outcome of this tutorial was: coming\nto recognize and articulate the diversity of human experience, including\nethnicity, race,&nbsp;language, sex, gender, as well as political, economic,\nsocial, and cultural structures over time and space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Going\ninto this topic I was not aware of social media has contributed to a paradigm\nshift of the genre of journalism and how much the blind \u2018othering\u2019 in travel journalism\nhas contributed to the continuation of these social identities. This being the\ndirection of my review was explored but not in its entirety. I began to\nrealized that this one credit tutorial could be a full course in itself and I\nwill continue to be interested and expand my knowledge in the subject of travel\nwriting. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research methods of the literary review are a great way to understand\nthe breadth of a topic. Studying this skill in a one on one fashion is constructive\nand helpful towards mastering it. My future grad project will be a series of\nliterary reviews so the skills of reflection, acquiring knowledge and applying\nthat knowledge in an academic fashion gained in this tutorial are highly relevant\nand a sustainable way to produce research. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liberal Studies Tutorial 390 Self-Submission This tutorial with Graham Cook (PhD, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, School of Social Sciences) aimed to explore the history of travel journalism, compare changes in practices, technologies, audiences and purposes, as well as understand&#8230; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/devonsimpson\/2019\/12\/12\/reflection-on-travel-writing\/\">Continue Reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7903,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/devonsimpson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/devonsimpson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/devonsimpson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/devonsimpson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7903"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/devonsimpson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=170"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/devonsimpson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":171,"href":"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/devonsimpson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170\/revisions\/171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/devonsimpson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/devonsimpson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eportfolios.capilanou.ca\/devonsimpson\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
