Scott Fischler

After a diverse career that included guiding change within large corporations as a practitioner of business process redesign, risk analysis, and disaster recovery planning, as well as developing and presenting renewable energy public education, I have returned to university study in the Digital Media Literacy program at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University, maintaining a GPA of 4.0 in my major. My academic interests include Media Law and Ethics, Digital Media Literacy, and Investigative Journalism. I am creating my next career in Investigative Journalism to tell meaningful and impactful stories that improve the well-being of my community.

I am proficient in media law and the First Amendment, issue spotting and fact patterns, writing legal essays and legal case studies, and conducting state and local public records act requests. Additionally, I am proficient with application software tools such as Adobe Audition (digital audio workspace), Canva for designing graphics, Hootsuite for scheduling social media posts, Hashtracking for hashtag campaigns, and Talkia for creating  computer generated voiceovers. I have considerable experience in social media marketing, and have earned certifications as an E-commerce Specialist and Digital Ads Specialist (Google, Facebook, and Instagram) from Arizona State University’s Global Technology Program.
