Response to Mya Cummins's Blogpost "Steps to Mass Communication"


Although we went heavily in depth on the steps of mass communication in class, it helped me out a lot to read Mya's blogpost on it. She carefully explained each of the five steps and gave examples of each. It isn't hard to tell that she fully grasped the subject, since she was able to explain it well in her blog. I would highly recommend the post to anyone looking for an explanation of mass communication, as well as to other students to use for test preparation.

Why I Watch Fox News (Response to Current Events Quizzes)

I watch Fox News. I know, most of you are probably cringing right now thinking, "What? Fox News?! What are you thinking???" And I see your point. While studying for our weekly current events quizzes, I couldn't help but notice the four sources we're given to study and four more liberal news sites (New York Times, Courier-Journal, NPR, WFPL). Not that there's anything wrong with them, of course. However, a huge part of journalism is knowing the full truth so you can report the full truth. That includes hearing both/all political stances. Although you may not agree with something you hear in the news, it's an obligation of journalism that we take both/all sides into account.  Of course, that doesn't mean that you have to believe everything you hear from every news source. Fact check anything that doesn't sound right, whether it was said by someone you agree with or disagree with.  To make sure I'm giving every side a fair chance, I added Fo...

Bi Sheng Press vs. Gutenburg Press (Response to Lecture on the Evolution of Printing)

Bi Sheng of ancient China was the first to create the movable type press. A lot of people attribute this feat to Johannes Gutenburg, although he created a later model of the press. Here's a brief explanation of the differences between the models. Bi Sheng Press:   - Made of clay - 1040 CE - Used Chinese characters - Thousands of individual characters - Broken characters had to be replaced individually Gutenburg Press: - Made of metal - 1450 CE - Used colloquial German alphabet - not many characters - Easy to replace broken characters - Required much manual labor

Response to KC Ciresi's Media Critique of CNN News

In her article critiquing an article published by CNN News about three infants killed at a daycare in New York, KC Ciresi claims it isn't newsworthy. She makes the argument that while this might be relevant to the friends and family of the victims and the New York community, it didn't matter to her in Louisville, Kentucky. While this is a valid critique and I don't necessarily disagree completely, this story does have a purpose on a national news source. Around the entire country, there are hundreds of thousands of parents with children that go to daycare every day. If you were a parent of a child in daycare, wouldn't you want to be informed about large events going on in other daycares around the country? In addition, people do like to be informed about what's going on around the country. I sure would want to be informed if three children were stabbed to death (which in this case, they were). KC is correct that this story doesn't apply to everyone, maybe n...
