Wilke Vs. Televised Journalism
Wilke fails to realize that regardless of how sloppy televised journalism may be compared to print, it will always be more practical than its alternatives. Within our modern world, the public cares more about immediacy than detail, especially during a hurricane. Within the eye of the storm, people depend upon televised news to know where the evacuation centers are, which streets have been flooded, and if help is on its way. These people do not care if news anchors make an assumption or exaggeration once in awhile, and they do not have the luxury of waiting until tomorrow for news that does not. Wilke also fails to acknowledge the larger, more diverse audience broadcast news is able to reach that print cannot. The portion of our population that

    The Role Of Journalism In The Flq Crisis

    Any discussion regarding the defining moments in Canada’s history must include the infamous October Crisis of 1970. Occurring throughout the province of Quebec, particularly in the metropolitan areas of Montreal, the socio-political implications of this affair were so significant that its effects can still be felt four decades later. However, many tend to overlook the substantial role that the media played in shaping the series of events that would eventually culminate in the first, and only, peacetime usage of the controversial War Measures Act and forever smear the relationship between Quebec and the Canadian government. Although many only see the major players as the Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ) and Prime Minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau and his federal government, the media played such a large role in sensationalizing the events and making tangible goods out of abstract concepts – such as civil liberties and public safety – that it should be considered its own entity in its entirety.…

    Personal Narrative-My Stereotypes In Thunder Alley

    Instead of saying, “We have unconfirmed reports that—This just in! We now have confirmed reports that those unconfirmed reports have been denied. No, wait! There’s a new report denying the confirmation of the denial of the unconfirmed report.” and giving viewers whiplash, they suggest that the reporters simply wait until a story is confirmed before reporting it and do commentary in the meantime. The content of news has an advantage and disadvantage. The circumstances they portray tend to be one sided. Some people prefer reading a newspaper because there information can be more accurate. I don’t feel like the media is actually helping us. I think it scares us more than anything because all the bad that goes on. It helps them get an audience while we are being talked…

    Clay Shirky's Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable: The Future of Journalism

    Clay Shirky says what everyone in the field of journalism is thinking, but is scared to admit- we can’t predict the future of journalism, in “Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable”. We have an idea of where it is headed, that being technological instead of pen and paper but nobody knows for sure where the technology is going to take us because lets face it, nobody thought that we would be where we are today. We are living in the “unthinkable scenario”. So what does that mean for anxious journalism students like myself? Keep up with the pace. Not only keep up but be two steps ahead of everyone else. Traditional journalism is no more and as much as I hate to say it, traditional newspapers are looking like they’re on their last string. Online readership versus print readership has done a 180 and online readership is on the rise. Journalists need to not only be good reporters and writers but internet savvy as well. Facebook, Twitter, Wordpress etc. are all internet sites for social networking but they are becoming a large part of journalism. We need to come up with the next piece in the puzzle, and make it better. It worries me not knowing what the future holds for the career I’m pursuing but at the same time it exciting to know that I can be apart of another journalistic revolution or rather the continuation of the revolution. People will always need to the news, it’s just a matter of how we give it to them.…

    War Of The World's Response Essay

    The broadcasters dismiss what is happening as nothing until it is too late. This entices the audience to continue listening, which makes panic as it gets worse and worse the pauses to report other news stories add to the suspense as well. Also, at the time, there was no exaggeration in the radio business, they told the complete honest truth, and there was no reason to doubt the radio, so people thought they were reporting real events.…

    The Impact of Media on Hurricane Katrina

    As technology advances we increasingly use news media as a means of communication, when all else fails. Immediately after Hurricane Katrina, the news and internet media took on the responsibility as a main source of information. This essentially made them responsible for unfolding many unnecessary events. Many news reporters and journalist contributed to the spread of false rumors and overstatements that have been proven to have negative impacts on relief efforts. Since the 21st century the term “media” has expanded and altered the public’s opinion tremendously. As proven by the inaccurate portrayal through skewed communication during Hurricane Katrina, the American media has begun to have negative effects on the consequences of natural disasters.…

    It’s no secret how powerful the news networks are. They connect everyone in this country through television media, and what adult doesn’t occasionally watch the news? But the news doesn’t cater to different groups of people. Think of the news as one size fits all socks: for most people they’re either too big or too small. The news channels have a large heterogeneous target they market themselves to. In 2010, an average of 21.6 million Americans watches one of…
