I couldn’t think of a “favorite” YouTube video for this
assignment. Every minute 24 hours of video are uploaded so it is fairly
challenging to find a favorite, however, there is one video that sticks out as
relevant to me. When I was in high school in 2008 there was a video posted on
YouTube of the music mogul Beyonce, falling down the stairs at a concert in
Orlando Florida. At the time of this incident the news spread very quickly, I
heard about it on the radio and I immediately ran home to look it up. After
watching the video several times, I then shared it with my mother, who shared
it with her friends and etc. The very next day when I went to watch it again
the video was no longer available anywhere. Each website including, YouTube,
that housed the video had taken it down. This account of Beyonce and her tragic
spill down a flight of stairs is relevant to me because, as a public relations
major who is interested in client representation it is vital for me to know
that with the proper knowledge and expertise of digital and social media it is
not impossible to remove unwelcome items from the internet.
The video has since been re-uploaded
