Rule of Three's

First, they tell you the answer they want to hear. Second, they explain their answer. Third, they blurt out a soundbite.

Example:
"I always tell the truth."
..................
"Well most of the time, okay? I always try to do it anyways, and I do my best"
..................
"OKAY!! My dog didn't really eat my homework!!...."

CNN Tiger Woods Response

I have never really been a fan fan of Tiger Woods, or of Golf at all, so I have no response from a "fan perspective". But from a reporter point-of-view, I believe that his fame got the better of him and now he is in a WHOLE LOT of trouble. He is now, supposedly, addicted to sex and is going to rehab for it. I am not surprised, however, that another celebrity is to rehab... :P
But he is apology is a good one and will keep people debating if it is TRUE or FAKE.

Newspaper Closings

http://www.usatoday.com/money/media/2009-03-17-newspapers-downturn_N.htm

I think that people ARE going to have to start closing newspapers (physically) more often. The average person now a days looks on the internet for their daily news. If not, they'll just click on the T.V. and watch the news. As the generations go on, people are getting lazier and trying to avoid ways of reading. If ANYTHING, they just avoid the news and watch T.V. shows instead.

News Notes

Define "Broadcast Journalism"- Airing news/current events instantaneously through out television, radio, or the Internet.

Chapter 3-"The News"

What is "news"?
-News is an account of events that interest and concern the public.

SIX CRITERIA OF WORTHINESS:
1.Unusualness: Most often found in bad news
2.Significance: Important events; ones that affect many people
3.Timeliness: When something is happening; needs to happen fast
4.Proximity: Nearby events
5.Prominence: When well known people, buildings, or places are involved
6.Human Interest: Stories about ordinary people or animals.

EXAMPLES:

1. A plane crashing
2. 9/11
3. BREAKING NEWS
4. The crasing of 35w
5. Stories about celebrities/politions
6. Stories about random people

What are the differences between "print journalism" and "broadcast journalism"?
1. Newspapers provide fuller coverage of more stories than the media
2. Readers act as their own editors, picking and choosing what they want to read
3. Radio New's reports are very limited
4. Within minutes of a diaster, radio listeners know about it
5. Radio offers excellent coverage of fast-breaking stories, ones that change from moment to moment

EXAMPLES OF CRITERA FROM NEWS:
1. "'Vegetable State' Man Responds to Questions"
2. "Pakistan leader still alive, Taliban says"
3.
4.
5. "Brittany Murphy's death ruled an accident"
6.

CNN Article

Article: The Government Has Your Baby's DNA

http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/02/04/baby.dna.government/index.html?hpt=C2

I think that the parents who are suing the government are just over-reacting. The reason that the government has the children's DNA anyways is to check for genetic diseases. The parent's arguement is that it might affect the child getting a job or getting good health insurance. If the child has something that could be depremental to a job, it is okay if the people hiring know that. After all, "Secrets secrets are no fun. Share your secrets with everyone."

Broadcat Journalism??

To me, Broadcast Journalism means a way to bring news to people via TV, Radio, Newspaper, or even BLOG. It affects the way we live because it shows us what's going on in the world.

Real definition: Airing news/current events instantaneously throught television, radio, or the internet.

USA Today Response

Article: "What Happens to Those 3-D Glasses After 'Avatar'"

-Im glad that the glasses are being recycled/washed after being worn for the movie. After being washed, they're sterile, so people cannot complain that its not healthy. With the tons of plastic being used for the movie, it shows that the 3-D providers are thinking of the only planet we live on. Being the most popular movie of almost ALL time, it is useful.

Overall, when I met him, I noticed that he's a GREAT writer and I expect him to do well when he graduates :)
