Week 7/Hum176/University of Phoenix
Week 7/Journalist E-mail/Alek Talevich
Hey best-friend, Man, I must say that I have been EXTREMELY busy covering these politics because it’s full of false accusations and scandals and I am trying my hardest to be honest and fair. Now my friend what I mean by false accusations and scandals is the media; both printed and social media; have a way of influence the audience into believe what they feel they want them to believe versus how I believe in what we need to be believe and deserve that (to certain circumstances). I’ll go through all that stuff and enlighten you a bit more about what I have learned this past week about it so you aren’t confused. I’m also going to talk about how hard it was to determine whether or not my stories were socially responsible, assessing the credibility of the sites I visited (which was only one really I trusted) and my awareness of how I might influence the public and or other reporters. Well my friend, now that you know what to expect, let’s just dive right into my responsibility of being fair and balance coverage. Once I got here I thought that I was ready and revved up to go, to be the best I can be, but that was not the case. I learned that as a reporter for the visual media I have a time limit, whereas when I was printed media time was not my concern but its own. This means that when it comes down to the wire I have to absolutely let go of my ethics and any moral codes that I may have. Sad but true my friend, this is one thing I did not like about time being against me, but at the same rate it made it very intriguing because I saw exactly how it operates in a professional manner. When I was doing a mock report I had ran out of time and was going to make up an event just for fun. The man in charge had said, “This is the news, never mislead our viewers and never create event, two golden rules or news broadcasting”. So that in a sense made me feel good about keeping my own ethics to an extent. I had asked but I have this
