Semester Project

Caroline Becker


Trying to figure out what my semester project would be was a little bit difficult. I soon came to realize that an outlet like YouTube would be perfect. For my semester project, I am going to base it on YouTube with one main star who I personally watch and like listening to, Jenna Marbles. I am going study and research why is something like YouTube so important, how we use it in the media, how Jenna Marble uses it to become such a large sensation and spectacle to thousands and thousands of people.

Hundreds, if not thousands, of videos and media content are posted onto YouTube. People have accounts, there are tutorials on how to curl your hair or how to cook a certain dish. Jenna Marbles, was just an average 28 year old girl from Rochester, NY. She went to Suffolk College in Boston for both her BS and graduate school and she received a Sports Psychology and Counseling degree. After school, she maintained countless jobs and on the side started making YouTube videos. People strated to like them and watch them and that is how she grew. Jenna Marbles, her real name being Jenna Mourey, net worth is 2.5 million dollars.
