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 talking about these issues because they use evidence and they covered this case especially well. 

WLKY keeps things brief, but also uses what's most important. Instead of covering every Kentucky football game, but instead they talked about Kentucky's first exhibition a few weeks ago. Overall I think that WLKY does a great job of focusing on what's needed and wanted by their audience, and their channel is very informational, making them appeal to their local audience.

Impacts of the Metal Type Press Response

Impacts of the Metal Type Press Response By Piper Shiflet Today in class we discussed the impacts of the metal moving type press, created by Guttenberg, and how it effected the history of writing. We first talked about different things that improved when we starting to produce better books and other things, with the metal type press. We discussed it’s impact on religion, the spread of literacy among the lower class, how it improved our economy, and how it helped people share knowledge. I thought sharing knowledge was one of the most important topics we discussed, and the topic of how important the printing press was had also become relevant in our discussion. Being able to share knowledge meant that people from further distances didn’t have to hear the word from another person, and word of new inventions and discoveries would no longer be jumbled up like a game of telephone. Having a printing press meant that people could make documents about scientific discoveries that could chang...

My Response To Isabella Bonilla's: A Reflection Of the Past 72 Hours

My Response To Isabella Bonilla's: A Reflection Of the Past 72 Hours Isabella ( http://isabelladorafirstblog.blogspot.com/2018/10/a-reflection-of-past-72-hours-classes.html) gave a compelling blog entry about our discussion talking about the current events going on in America. Though this did not happen in our official Journalism 1 class, I found this to be an amazing well thought out article. Isabella mentioned what we learned from Mr.Miller, quoting the point where he said, "It's okay to be scared, but we must stick together." She not only applied some elements of the seven yardsticks of journalism, but she also pointed out things she noticed. This was especially helpful since I hadn't realized some of the things she had made points on. In one section of Isabella's blog she talks about how some news sources and forms of media make things seem more extreme than they are, stating, " but sometimes they overindulge in descriptions and blow proportio...

Why We Still Go To The Movies

Why We Still Go To The Movies Recently in class we discussed the reason why people still attend movies at a theater when the technology is offered to us, giving us the chance to stay home to watch movies. We began by discussing ticket sales of the past, and how different types of movies began to be directed at niche audiences. This is what I found interesting. In the past, news papers had appealed to most people, since they had a section for comics, sports, news, etc. So hearing that movies had changed the game a bit intrigued me. I didn't grow up reading news papers, so I didn't really understand what it was like to see such a change, from a mass audience to niche one. While discussing why people still go to movies a lot of points were brought up about the 'movie experience'. But that went beyond comfy recliner chairs and movie theater popcorn. We talked about the surround sound speakers and and big screens, (my thoughts going straight to 3D movies that you can...
