Hi, my name is Sinclair Portis and I am a multimedia journalism major at Troy University. I am beginning this blog to express my love for movies and books. I also would like to inform the public about the details of these entertainments for lovers like myself. I have worked at a theater near my home for a little more than a year and it enhanced my love for movies. I was better educated by the aspects of movies by some of my coworkers and also by taking a film class last year. I have always loved books of all different genres and am very passionate about them. I have recently became interest in comic books and will record my journey through getting to know all of these characters and stories through this blog also. I have special interest in DC comics with their new spark that they are trying to start in their movies. I thought I'd educate myself on the real stories of characters like Batman, Superman, the Flash and more. During this blog experience I will be giving my opinion on these movies, books and television shows, but also the opinions of critics and the public for comparison. News of upcoming movie, book, and television releases will be reported also. I will try and post every Thursday evening with one or more post depending on what all I have to speak on that week. This blog's address is sinclairsnippets.blogspot.com just for your convenience. I will also share my blog through twitter.

As we continue to talk about entertainment and all variations of this I think there is one that I have been leaving out. Recently I have been working with a with a public radio station and it has been eye opening to the entire platform.  A lot of people think that radio is just the local music channel you listen to. This channel play music and commercials and might talk every once in a while. While that is a type of radio that is not all radio is.  Public radio is news and interesting stories that you can listen to. They have everything that happening now all around the country and internationally. They also have interesting stories about prisons, ticks and convicts. Its like Facebook to your ears.  The process of public radio is also very hard, but also very cool. As an intern I do stories that air in a special segment. Though this is only one type journalism it works about the same way. You find a story, you go after the story, you get the story...
