# Alliance PEMOSSO > Communication | Digital Design | Training ## Posts - [Publishing on Medium Felt Different](https://www.pemosso.site/publishing-on-medium-felt-different/): Publishing a feature article on Medium — outside Canvas, outside the rubric — raised a harder question: does the story still hold up for a reader who owes it nothing? - [Newsworthy and Sensational Are Not the Same Thing](https://www.pemosso.site/newsworthy-and-sensational-are-not-the-same-thing/): Dr. Mélodie BOUEYA's health could have been the headline. Alliance explains why he chose the quieter, more newsworthy angle instead. - [A News Story Still Has a Person Inside It](https://www.pemosso.site/a-news-story-still-has-a-person-inside-it/): A journalism interview about a colleague's health and childhood becomes a lesson in compassion: how to write true, difficult details without reducing a person to their hardest moment. - [Interviewing Changed the Way I Write About People](https://www.pemosso.site/interviewing-changed-the-way-i-write-about-people/): A 30-minute interview about leadership turned, unexpectedly, into a lesson about saving money — and about listening for answers that arrive somewhere other than where they were expected. - [ClearWeek Started With a Very Ordinary Problem](https://www.pemosso.site/clearweek-started-with-a-very-ordinary-problem/): A creative brief for an imaginary student-deadline app, ClearWeek, turns into a short case for subtraction — in interface design and in writing. - [Ten Headlines for One Article](https://www.pemosso.site/ten-headlines-for-one-article/): Ten headlines for one article taught a graphic designer’s lesson: sometimes the simple, honest headline beats the clever one. - [Two Conversations About AI in Moungali](https://www.pemosso.site/two-conversations-about-ai-in-moungali/): Two interviews in Moungali, on the same topic, produced two very different views on AI — and a more honest article because of it. - [Blogging Is Making Me Notice What I Actually Think](https://www.pemosso.site/blogging-is-making-me-notice-what-i-actually-think/): Five weeks into blogging for COMM 310, Alliance notices he is not only writing more — he is starting to hear when the writing does not sound like him. - [Feature Writing Gives Me More Room, but That Can Also Be the Problem](https://www.pemosso.site/feature-writing-gives-me-more-room-but-that-can-also-be-the-problem/): News writing forces fast decisions about what matters. Feature writing gives more room — and that freedom turns out to be its own kind of challenge. - [Editing More Than My Writing](https://www.pemosso.site/editing-more-than-my-writing/): A week of heavy editing in COMM 310 got Alliance thinking about correcting small things in life, one sentence and one moment at a time. - [Design Cannot Rescue an Unclear Message](https://www.pemosso.site/design-cannot-rescue-an-unclear-message/): Good design cannot fix a message that was never clear to begin with. - [Fifteen Headlines for One Story](https://www.pemosso.site/fifteen-headlines-for-one-story/): Writing fifteen headlines for one press release turned out to be an exercise in deciding what the story is actually about. - [What I Would Change About My Social Media Posts](https://www.pemosso.site/what-i-would-change-about-my-social-media-posts/): Introducing the same video on Facebook and LinkedIn taught me that publishing on a platform and writing for it are not the same thing. - [Why YouTube Is Still the Most Powerful Platform for Me](https://www.pemosso.site/why-youtube-is-still-the-most-powerful-platform-for-me/): Of all the platforms I use, YouTube is still the one built for showing someone exactly how to do something. - [What I Want My Social Media to Be Useful For](https://www.pemosso.site/what-i-want-my-social-media-to-be-useful-for/): Doctrine and Covenants 4 got me thinking about what actually counts as useful work when so much of it now happens through a phone. - [The Part of Video Editing Nobody Sees](https://www.pemosso.site/the-part-of-video-editing-nobody-sees/): Finishing a two-minute video for COMM 310 took far longer than two minutes, mostly because of decisions nobody watching will ever notice. - [I Still Learn While I Teach](https://www.pemosso.site/i-still-learn-while-i-teach/): Teaching computer skills means admitting sometimes that I don't have the answer right away, and that has turned out to be useful. - [The Script Saves Time Before the Camera Starts](https://www.pemosso.site/the-script-saves-time-before-the-camera-starts/): A script and storyboard save time by moving decisions before the camera starts rolling, not during it. - [My Script Looked Different Once I Had to Say It](https://www.pemosso.site/my-script-looked-different-once-i-had-to-say-it/): Writing the script for my Coach Alliance video taught me that a sentence can look fine on paper and still sound wrong out loud. - [What I Choose to Put on a Screen](https://www.pemosso.site/what-i-choose-to-put-on-a-screen/): This week's Article of Faith 13 reading made me think about the connection between what I create for other people to see and what I choose to consume myself. - [The HDMI cable was not the problem](https://www.pemosso.site/the-hdmi-cable-was-not-the-problem/): Before a computer training session in Brazzaville, my projector stopped displaying my laptop. I was quite sure I knew what was wrong. I didn’t. - [Why I still teach Excel](https://www.pemosso.site/why-i-still-teach-excel/): New digital tools appear constantly, but Excel keeps returning to my training work for a simple reason: people have real problems to solve with data. - [Why professional writing matters to me](https://www.pemosso.site/why-professional-writing-matters-to-me/): My professional work started on the visual side, but I keep finding situations where design cannot carry the message alone. - [Knowing who I am writing for](https://www.pemosso.site/knowing-who-i-am-writing-for/): I write for students, clients, viewers, and professors. Using the same approach for all of them would make little sense. - [Speaking so people can understand](https://www.pemosso.site/speaking-so-people-can-understand/): Teaching has shown me that knowing something well and explaining it clearly are two different skills. ## Pages - [Contact](https://www.pemosso.site/contact/) - [Resume](https://www.pemosso.site/resume/): Alliance builds communication that works, for academies, studios, ministries, and multinationals alike. - [Portfolio](https://www.pemosso.site/portfolio/) - [Blog](https://www.pemosso.site/blog/): Notes and articles from my COMM 310 work, along with things I learn from communication, design, digital tools, and training. - [About](https://www.pemosso.site/about/): My name is Alliance PEMOSSO, and I live in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo.
