Tricky Picky

 This picture stood out for me because there is still racism going on in the 21 century. People just cant seem to let it go, they will never forget about it even tho everybody is the same. Shouldnt judge people just by the color of their skin.


  This picture is deffinetly fake becasue I highly doubt that somebody would do this. There is a small riot behind them and a cop with baton and they are layed out on the middle of the street kissing. Its not even sinsable.

   This technique would be considered fill the frame because the person takes up the whole picture. The details and features are very detailed and destinctive.

 This picture would be considered framing because he is the main focus and there isnt anything else shown. everything is blurry except him.
 this would be considered rule of thirds because there is allot of things going on in the picture, not focused on one certain thing, it lets your mind wonder.

  this would be point of view, beacsue it is getting the point across about the owl, its the only thing that you see, you focused on it.

Talking with Terry

Terry Seguin has other ways of communication such as twitter. Its good that he has it because people can communicate with him better, he can also get news out faster. I wasnt that surprised that he got little or no training because radio isnt that hard to do and its not really that complicatied. Journalism cant really be taught or trained because it should hands one, you cant really be trained for it becasue you cant really be told what to do. Radio has more time to ask the interviewer more questions than televistion does. The only thing about tv and radio is that you get to see the interview with tv and mosts people get bored listening to people talk they would rather watch and see whats going on. After I granduate I dont think I will ever have a job in journalism. I dont find it very much fun, im not interested it it. I plan on going to school and doing what I like most. There is allot of news that is not important or fake because when somone dont have nothing by the deadline they will wink it or just make up lies. Something like when you dont study for a test you wing it and see where that gets yeah. I actually really liked Terry's visit more then I thought. He was funny and I was interested in what he had to say.

Protection

The story is about a 16 year old boy dieing in hockey. He got struck in the throat with a puck and died. The video is takin by a bunch of interviews and the screen being split. They talk about the neck gueards and how they will eventually inprove the product. There was really no way for him to fix what happened, it was a fluke.  The introduction to the video is them talking about the tradedy and describing what all happened. This video is all true so there shouldnt be any lies, there sources are the truth. The only two sources that might have been asked were the refs and the couches, they would have got asked allot of questions. They would have asked what happened and how it happened. There was really no "b-roll" because someone died and they never caught it on tape. They just interviewed people. They end the clip with the girl saying what happened to the boy and how he will be missed and how they are going to fix it from happening again.

The Interview

While listening to the interview with Sandra Good, I was surprised that she asked all them questions and how good of order they were in she insulted her allot though. The way Barbra Frum kept her temeper down and didnt show any reaction to Sandra's insults. If Barbra got more aggresive on the phone the interview could have been bad, could have went the oppostite way that it did. I dont think I could have handled all the questions very well. When doing a interview you have to remember to ask the important questions first incase the person gets upset or mad over some questions. If I had the chance to interview any one the world I would probbly interview Ken Block. I would love to know how he learnt to drive so good and no i dont think it would a tough interview because he is a very out going person.

Caught in Lies

There are allot of News papers and magazines out in the world today, many people buy them by the dozen and did you ever think which articles is telling the truth and which ones are just all lies? Some journalist out there today dont really have the talent to write a hard hitting story without throughing in a couple made up things to make it more interesting. Those kind of people that cant tell the truth about someone and make up lies are insecure about themself, and lieing makes them feel allot better. Colleges and Universties shouldnt graduate all the student with journalism because some jobs dont really need it and they shouldnt have to do it.

A real soft story is "Is Jessica Simpson Pregnant?" Everyone is saying and sharing pictures about her and her pregnacy. There isnt really any hard hitting facts or truth to the artcle so you cant tell if it is true or not.

Frakie Muniz's engagement would be considered soft news because it doesnt have any hard hitting facts, it is just about human interest, it entertains instead of informs.

Starting with the basics

hLate friday night theives climbed down through the roof of the Ontario mall and stole 1400 pairs of hugh quiality sunglasses. The title was very effictive because it made me read on and it caught my eye. The story was very well organized and well told.  The best part of the story is when they said they climbed down through the roof to steal the sunglasses, they went through an awful lot of work for barely nothing. The ending was pretty good  it summed it up and it somewhat said they know who it was.

A mother rabbit helps nurse oprphaned kittens after there mother was shot. The lead is very effective becasue it makes you feel really bad for the kittens because they have to be raised by a rabbit itstead of there own mother. The story was very well organized, it kept me ready on and on, just wanted to keep reading

First Newspapers

News papers changed allot over the years, they have have correct spelling, allot more pages, and the apperence has changed. They were very plain and simple back in the 1700's and there wasnt very many picture.

The apperence of the newspapers has changed but not to much. There is allot more pages, allot less pictures, not as much writing and allot less color. There wasnt as much news back then as there is today because there wasnt much production and people just gossiped. Also there was only one story a day two at the tops, the news papers were so much shorter and probbly cheaper to make, it also saved allot of paper.


Allot of the newspaper industries today are rarely going out of buisness because there is so much news to cover each day like all the floods and earthquacks. The first newspaper wouldnt have lastest that long if there was a couple more of them beacuse they would have ran out of things to post. Some things in news papers today arnt even true or they are just plain and simple nonsense. In my eyes I probblt would have actually bought and read the newspaper because there was no tv. Today people pay for satalite instead of buying a newspaper. Back then people would either read the news paper or listen to the radio to get all there news unlike today they would just turn on the tv and watch live at 5.


So all in all the newspapers has changed allot over the years and they will probbly change allot in the furture or they might even be discontinued, the news might take over.
