Pat MacArthur Barely Exists

The Online Reputation of Grace McMorrow, the American

As an avid social media user, it does­n’t sur­prise me that, when I search my name, mul­ti­ple posts about me appear. I share my name with a woman in Eng­land so our online pro­files fill the first page of Google results.  In…

A view of Dhurata Lluhani’s Online Reputation: What Reputation?

Sylvia Cunningham, the Journalism Student (not the Apostle), gives her Online Repulation a Solid B-

Online reputation is more important than you thought

On the first page of my google search results, noth­ing about me shows up. My dad’s cousin Andrew Katzen­stein who is a phe­nom­e­nal lawyer shows up in almost every search result. My dig­i­tal foot­print is almost invis­i­ble. I found one article…

Aysha Mahmood’s Online Reputation…Or Rather Her Lack Of

My Dig­i­tal Rep­u­ta­tion When I first typed in my name, Aysha Mah­mood, I did­n’t see any­thing about me on the first page.  I want­ed to try a dif­fer­ent search, so when I typed “Aysha Mah­mood UConn,” my LinkedIn comes up…

Megan Frey: Am I Invisible Online?

I have always known that the way you con­duct your­self online can have a big impact on your rep­u­ta­tion. As an indi­vid­ual grow­ing up in the dig­i­tal age, I have nev­er googled myself, main­ly out of fear of what I…

Ylenia Elvy-Panton: Nothing Shameful, But Not Much To Show Either

I’ve always been para­noid about search­ing for myself on the inter­net. Despite all the posts I make on social media sites like Twit­ter and Insta­gram, the idea that any­one else can find me with a sim­ple Google search is…daunting. It’s…

Journalists must create a reputation on social media to be successful

Eval­u­at­ing my Dig­i­tal Rep­u­ta­tion When I plugged “Matt Zampi­ni” into Google, the first page that came up is the link to my Twit­ter account. I am extreme­ly active on Twit­ter so that wasn’t sur­pris­ing to me. I also found my Facebook…

My digital reputation: Non existent

UConn is an important part of Eric Weeks’ career

Abby Mace: Online reputation is too much track, not enough journalism

Accord­ing to Google, all I do is run track When I Googled “Abby Mace,” almost all of my results were sports-relat­ed. The top two results were my offi­cial ath­let­ic bios on uconnhuskies.com. The next results are links to Face­book and Twitter…
