My name is Alisa and I’m a Multimedia Producer at WHO-TV
Channel 13 in Des Moines. My title
sounds really professional, but I have a lot of fun at my job.
I’m so excited to be speaking at a breakout session for this
year’s The Future is Yours Event. At this fantastic event, girls will have tons
of opportunities to learn about how to prepare for the future! Our hope is that
girls who attend will walk away feeling READY TO TAKE ON THE WORLD!
My session is called The Secrets of Social Media and
Blogging Basics. In this day and age, social media is SO important. It can
serve as a very useful tool when it comes to applying for college, applying for
jobs, networking, and of course, is a great way to share your hobbies and
experiences with friends and family!
During my break out session, I’m going to talk about its
importance as well as how much fun social media and blogging can be! I’m also
going to talk about Internet safety and a few warning signs to look out for
when you’re cruising the Internet.
It’s important to remember that not everyone is who they say they are on
the Internet.
I’m also going to talk a little bit about my job at Channel
13! I write the stories for the website, www.whotv.com. Sometimes the stories are the
same stories you hear on the news, but other times they’re stories about events
and causes I am interested in, or I think "Des Moinesians" might be interested
in.
Another part of my job is social media. I run WHO’s Facebook page and I run the WHO Facebook and Twitter pages for our sports show, SoundOFF. I also have a
hand in helping our reporters with their blogs.

Social Media has brought me
on so many adventures. I blogged my way through RAGBRAI (see picture above)
I tagged along during RVTV (see picture at left)…
And recently, I’ve invited
my readers to read along as I eat locally grown food for 100 days.
It’s always fun to write about my experiences and share
them with the world! I can’t wait to chat with you all during my break out
session at The Future is Yours, which is right around the corner! You won’t
want to miss out on this amazing event! Can’t wait to see you all in July!
Sincerely,
Alisa Link
WHO-HD Multimedia Producer
