Cassie Writes. annotated tangents from the RMIT Bachelor of Communication (Media)

FML.

This is an update on the state of my Broadcast Media radio project (for which I'm partnered up with the one and only Zach McSweeney).
So far the interviews that we've done have been great. Some of the stories we've heard have been really moving, the opinions extremely intelligent, the thoughts quite profound.

We ended up booking out one of the recording suites for Saturday the 18th of September, and all I wanted to do was let the people who wrote on our event's wall know that we wanted them for interviews, because I felt they would be more likely to respond to a comment on their post than a group message in their inbox. My clever plan was simply to copy and paste the same announcement over and over again, and therefore not waste too much time commenting. However, I became unstuck when Facebook labeled me as a nuisance and suspended my posting rights for more than a day!

I was unaware that this could even happen! I suppose it's good, to protect people from spammers, but all I was trying to do was give people information that they actually wanted, and I wasn't allowed to!

Sometimes, life sucks.
