My Response To LaNasia's: A Class Discussion!

My Response To LaNasia's: A Class Discussion!

LaNasia typed an article discussing wha we had talked about recently in class, regarding not only the synagog shooting, but also the Kroger shooting. When I read over her blog, I noticed that she spoke about how we allow criminals mercy just because they have a mental illness. I had been talking about this situation a while back when the school shooting regarding Nikolas Cruz occurred. I noticed that many people who decide to shoot up local destinations, or commit hate crimes in general, usually show signs of having a mental illness or issue.

LaNasia also talked about how people should be more accepting to others, she states, "This whole class discussion, and the crimes itself has me thinking of how I can become the start to the end of these problems, we as people, as Americans have failed this country, if we put aside whatever feelings, beliefs, and values we have just for a second, we can make a change." These words stood out to me because this is truthful for not only the society we live in, but the world we live in too. 

Overall I think LaNasia points out good facts about how American's respond to hate crimes, and shows her own perspective on the situation. She related to the topic and spoke strongly about how America is diverse, and we can't stop the world from becoming more diverse. I think this article is one that speaks for a lot of our generation.

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...
