WK1 Practice: RSS & Industry Blogs






I’ve decided to follow the industry blogs of Game Life, IGN Video Games, IndieGames, Joystiq, Kotaku, and Polygon.  All of these industry blogs follow the gaming industry. Because I want to work within the gaming industry helping Indie developers, it’s important to me to keep watch over all industry news. Figuring our game release dates, console release dates, application launches, technical issues regarding products, etc. is all important information for me to follow so that I can grasp all areas of the industry.

It’s also important for me to keep an eye out for how these blogs portray their news and voice their opinions. If I’m to become a Public Relations Specialist it’s important for me to see a bloggers take on a controversial story that may arise for a game so that I can see how the gaming company handles their press (weather they handle it positively or negatively is also something to watch for.)

Unfortunately I could not find any peer blogs to follow through the Wiggio NMT 201404 group. Because I couldn’t find any classmates blog addresses, I decided to follow more industry blogs. I will add classmates’ blogs once I see them posted. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Best regards,

Taylor Kearney
