About Ally!


About Me!

Hi classmates! My name is Alexandra D'Arpino, but I go by Ally for short! I am from Long Island, New York. I am specifically from a town called Syosset, which is on the north short part of Long Island. I come from a very close-knit Italian family back home, so my family is very important to me. I am a junior here at High Point University. I am majoring in strategic communications and minoring in sales. I have just recently this year changed my major to strategic communications!

 The focus of my studies here at High Point University is to learn how to create communication campaigns and strategies. After my time at High Point University has come to an end, I hope to work within the health communication industry, working to create health campaigns to make our society a little healthier! I also would love to work in the social media industry as well, doing beauty and fashion campaigns.


 My hobbies outside of the class include Greek life, hanging with friends, and SoulCycle! I am a part of the Zeta Tau Alpha sorority here on campus. I am currently the Academic chair of my sorority for the 2020 academic year. I also enjoy working out and staying fit. I love to take spin and dance cardio classes. It is a great way for me to stay healthy and clear my mind whenever I’m stressed. 

 I am very excited to take this Media Law & Literacy Class because I enjoy both writing and communications. I feel that this class is a mix of the two. I am very excited to learn about how communication and law intertwine through this class!

Disney World and Disneyland have both had to close due to the coronavirus outbreak. Disney is all about bringing together individuals from all over the world to celebrate light and laughter together. There is never a dull moment in Disney, it is constantly packed with people making memories with their friends and family. Everywhere you go to in Disney, you are surrounded by tons of people enjoying the same Disney stories as you. However, because of the presence of the virus, we don't even know if Disney will ever be the same again.       Disney World and Disneyland are taking very cautious measures to make that when they do reopen the parks that their customers are completely safe. Disney World is focusing on reopening in stages to make sure they are being extra careful. They plan to reopen up to 75 percen...

Fake News is Everywhere

Fake News is Everywhere       Facebook has focused a lot of their attention on making sure that their site is free from misinformation and fake news. They have even gone as far as to make new policies in order to keep fake news completely separate for their site. However, the editable link previews that Facebook had previously abolished because they caused misinformation, have recently resurfaced about six months ago. The editable link preview on Facebook gain people the access to edit images, headlines, and descriptions on public posts. Facebook terminated this feature back in 2017, because of the huge amount of fake news that was created because of it, but in September of 2019, it came back.      In my opinion, I am very impressed by how serious Facebook took this fake news information from the beginning. I believe that the fake news within our media culture has gotten extremely out of hand, especially on social media. My favorite aspect of soc...
