NMC 301 Introduces Justin Molter

Hello, my name is Justin Molter I am from Sherwood Oregon and a junior in New Media Communication. I have been involved with technology sense I was a little one playing the old Nintendo with my dad. In high school I was interested in computer software, computer hardware, web design, and computer networking. I graduated with a Certificate of Advanced Mastery in the computer hardware field. When first coming to OSU I was interested in the Electrical and Computer Engineering major because of my interest in computers. I soon realized that it wasn’t the major for me and decided to explore some other options. That was when I ran into the New Media option offered here at Oregon State, I saw it roughly defined like technology meets communication. I am now involved at KBVR as the producer for the OSU Dating Game show. I am also in a college fraternity, Chi Phi, and hold two leadership positions, the social chairmen as well as the historian.

Over the course of my college career I have become very interested in the media. This last year I have been reading the Daily Barometer or going to KATU to get my news. I also visit gossip sites like Maxim and Rolling Stone to get information on new music that comes out or any drama that could be happening in the media. Then of course I look at different sports sites to follow up on my different sports teams.

To make sure that I am staying in contact with all my friends I have a Facebook, Myspace, and more recently a Lymabean account. I enjoy being able to reconnect with friends that I haven’t talked to in a while and also finding out what they have been up to.

I was first interested in New Media when one of my friends needed help with a video project he was doing for a class. The project was just a short movie trailer but I thought I was awesome he was doing it for a class. Then I began taking classes in New Media and never left. Through this course I hope to learn how to make my work more professional and get more of an idea of what people in the market are looking for.
