Google Alerts

I have used Google alerts before for a class, and I am going to see if Google alerts for the blogs i am monitoring will work! I have plugged in the blog URL for each of the blogs, and I will see if it makes monitoring these blogs easier!

Second Post.... Blog links

So far all of my blog links work!!
unfortunately, one of my sites appeared to be focused more on educating people on types of species, and not news about wildlife conservation!

I removed : http://true-wildlife.blogspot.com/ from my watch list, but I have discovered this blog to replace it:

http://www.awf.org/blog

this has news updates for wildlife, and is more suitable for the goal of my assignment 
This blog is geared specifically toward animals and wildlife conservation in Africa.


the http://blog.nwf.org/ is the blog for the national wildlife federation, so this would be something great to compare to The World Wildlife Fund, because it is more of a corporate blog than the other blogs.


The defenders of wildlife blog is also right up my alley for content

I will also monitor WWF's blog for comparisons: http://worldwildlife.org/blog-posts?place_id=arctic

each of the three blogs :

http://www.defendersblog.org/

http://blog.nwf.org/

http://www.awf.org/blog


Update their blog posts regularly. The last blog isn't as frequent as the other two, but will be sufficient enough for this assignment!


I will be posting about positive and maybe not so positive  wildlife conservation blog posts, because a large part of wildlife conservation is informing people of the disparity of conservation in the wildlife to get people to act. It appears that each blog has something different to offer, which should be interesting for this semester of blogging!!

First Post-- Introduction

My name is Melanie Lilly.
I attend Bentley University
This blog is intended for an assignment in my PR writing class

For the purpose of my assignment, I am an in-house PR for The International Wildlife Fund, and organization similar to The World Wildlife Fund.

I take a special interest in animals, and I am in fact an active member of The World Wildlife Fund, so this topic/organization seemed fitting.

The goal of my assignment is to follow three blogs related to my topic, (animals and wildlife conservation)  and post about the topic at least once a week. My goal is to provide analysis from "my organization’s" point of view. 



I have chosen the following three blogs:

http://www.defendersblog.org/

http://blog.nwf.org/

http://true-wildlife.blogspot.com/



Each one of these blogs is based around wildlife and animals, and I will see what each one has to offer! I hope that each blog that I have chosen is the correct blog for this assignment!
