So Main headlines don't mean what they used too I'm guessing?

In a recent article posted by WHAS 11, the reporter talks about a new breed of cat known as the "werewolf cat" or Lykoi. This breed has a close semblance with dogs and wolves, despite being 100 per cent cat. There was nothing wrong with this story, but the fact that it was a main headline makes this situation troublesome. WHAS needs to stop making the important interesting, and start making the interesting important.  http://www.whas11.com/story/life/pets/2015/10/30/werewolf-cats-existand-you-can-own-one/74887230/

Isolation, you mean on crimes?

Something that has been brought to my attention recently is the lack of newsworthy crime stories in many of our news stations that we have been studying recently. Newsworthy stories are supposed to cover events or topics that affect a large group of people or communities in general. Isolated crime incidents do not fall under this category, yet it is all that these stations seem to report about. For example, in the article http://www.wlky.com/news/Police-Man-charged-with-arson-after-intentionally-setting-his-own-house-on-fire/36167524 , a man is charged with arson after setting his own house on fire. That is an isolated incident that only affects that man and his house, not the community. This makes it unnewsworthy and unacceptable to the public.

The Press Corpse, Dealing with lies and biased reporting.

Populist reporting techniques, un-newsworthy content, where does it end? The truth? It never will. Instead, the lines between information and infotainment will continue to blur. When binary models become non-binary, journalism will become less and less trustworthy. Our definition of newsworthy content will become skewed. This is why we need to keep entertainment and information separate.

WHAS, More like BS

I was exited to do a station, literally ANY station that wasn't WAVE 3. I wanted some substantial news, you know? Something that wasn't fluff for a change. Boy was I disappointed. Instead of newsworthy, serious stories, I found sponsored ads and videos about community events. Also, the lack of variety in their stories is terrible. Almost all of the online stories were crime and/ or human interest. WHAS has left me very disappointed, and I hope that they can improve.

Response to Plagiarism Post On Jaylin Fartow's Blog

Jaylin Farrow made a post about Plagiarism on her blog. I really enjoy how she gave us a new outlook on the fact that people plagiarise everyday unknowingly. It made me realise how people plagiarise all of the time and don't even know it. We have to make sure to be super careful about plagiarism.

Booooooooooooooooooooooooks man...

I have a bit of a bone to pick with Mr. Miller right now. Yes we learned about books and the printing press, but how did fictional stories become popular? how did Classic poetry and fiction books get spread to an audience? Were there publishing companies back then? What about graphic novels? These are just a few of the questions that I have for Mr. Miller about books. I do think that it was a good lecture, and yes I may have just wrote this because I wanted an excuse to say that I have a bone to pick, but these are real questions that I have and I hope they will be answered.
