Response to Isabella Bonilla's: Consumption of Mass Communication

Response to Isabella Bonilla's: Consumption of Mass Communication

By Piper Shiflet

As I read Isabella's article, Consumption of Mass Communication, I became more intrigued in her explanation and views on this topic. She pointed out many ideas and thoughts she had, as well as questions. Isabella ends her first paragraph with the question, "How do we observe this information, and whats the science behind the phycological categorization?" She expresses her thoughts about how we process mass communication, which interested me as well.
Throughout the article Isabella kept a consistent mindset, educating other people about what she already knew, and also diving deeper into topics we didn't discuss in our recent lectures in class. I found this quite interesting and found myself wanting to know the answer too.
She then goes to explain her interest in filters, especially the phycological filter. Isabella explained it as, "When you impose the physiological filter on your daily life, you basically shun this whole part of your world. If it doesn't fit your views, you won't even acknowledge." While explaining her interest in phycological filters, Isabella also talks about how difficult it is for many people to have a physical filter, where they are unable to read the paper based on a physical issue.
Overall I think that Isabella's article and writing style are very unique and make you question things as much as she questions it herself. I really enjoyed the fact that she could see her interest in the lecture, and how dedicated Isabella was to being attentive in class.

Response to Demassification

Response to Demassification  By Piper Shiflet Demassification was a word I had never heard of until our recent discussion about the topic in class. We had covered mass communication in pervious weeks, but demassification was a new concept. The thought originally stuck in my head that demassification meant losing your mass audience in some way, but it wasn't, it was how you deal with losing your mass audience. I had to think about this for a long time, how exactly would I deal with losing a mass audience?  During this situation you would have to figure out how to gain your audience back, and this is seen everywhere, especially in social media, which I had realized as the definition was being told to me. You see demassification everywhere in this century, and that's why I was surprised that I had never heard of the term before. Demassification happens all the time, and I was oblivious. That's why I was so interested in this topic.  We then proceeded to learn about ...

My Response to Karlie Brockman's: Are Vague Titles Necessary?

My Response to Karlie Brockman's: Are Vague Titles Necessary? Original Article: http://karliejournalismpage.blogspot.com/2018/11/whas-11-are-vague-titles-necessary.html Karlie Brockman covered a specific topic that is rarely addressed by journalists. The 'clickbait" title trend. She explained her thoughts on how journalists use vague titles that are too unspecific to blow up their article to be more entertaining than it actually is. I believe she made great points, because I often see titles in the news, (even from official trustworthy cites) that often make me question the reality of the problem. I found that many people think this to be true, but have a harder time admitting to it.  Journalists often use this form of 'clickbait' to gain attention for their article, and I personally agree with Karlie when she says, " In my opinion, if the title tells readers the important details and the story is newsworthy, the reader is more inclined to click as ...

WLKY Response

WLKY Response While following WLKY and watching their nightly news at 6:00, I began to understand their format and the way they cover their stories. WLKY does a great job at covering mainly local events, like the shooting that recently took place at the Kroger in JTown. They only now and then include national or international news, which I also find is a good thing since many national stories are unnecessary. WLKY also goes into depth on the main stories, and stays quite on the surface of the other ones, whether its sports or a forecast.  They recently took into account the Kroger shooting and interviewed quite a lot of people effected by this dilemma. They first spoke with Dominic, the man who exchanged shots with Gregory Bush in the parking lot, who conveniently used the gun that he claimed, he, always had on him.  They also interviewed Gregory's brother to talk with him about the event, and even Gregory's sons friend. I think that it's WLKY shows strength when tal...
