Tiger Reaction

I think it's good that Tiger put in the effort to apologize and accepted the responsibility of his actions directly. It shows he's trying to get back on track. Although some of the words he said seemed very scripted, most of his words seemed sincere. His speaking skills were just so bad that it made it come off insincere and not very believable.

Newspaper Closings

This article is about daily newspapers going out of business. I think this is happening because it is getting more common to see the articles online, and that maybe more are watching television news. I think that this too bad, because now we have less freedom to learn what we want to, because with television and radio you can't choose what you hear/see. On the internet, you can choose which articles you want to read and learn, which I think is highly affecting newspapers because it is free and more are turning to this cheaper form of news.

News Notes

Broadcast Journalism is the airing of news/current events instantaneously through TV, radio, or the Internet.
News is an account of events that interest and concern the public.
Six Criteria of Newsworthiness
1. Unusualness- different, out-of-the-ordinary
2. Significance- important events that affect many
3. Timeliness- current, while it's happening
4. Proximity- nearby, local events
5. Prominence- well-known people/places involved
6. Human Interest- emotional and personal appeal; heart-warming
Differences Between Print and Broadcast Journalism
1. Print Journalism provides fuller coverage of more stories
2. Readers choose what they want to read
3. News magazines provide more in-depth coverage
4. Radio offers excellent coverage of fast-breaking stories
5. TV news provides the most dramatic news coverage

CNN Article

The article I read was about Stephen Schafer being killed by a shark attack. It makes me wonder, for one, why he was out far enough for sharks to attack him. Its crazy how when one attacks, more and more come to join. This is a sad and unfortunate story, but I was also relieved to read that shark attacks are on the decrease and there are less and less of these stories and that this is rare.

Broadcast Journalism

The definition of Broadcast Journalism, to me, is broadcasting news and information to the public through forms of media, like television and radio. Real Definition: Airing news/current events instantaneously through TV, radio, or the Internet.

USA Today

I read an article on what happens to 3-D glasses after they are used in the theaters. I was surprised to hear the different kinds of 3-D glasses that are used, and how fancy they can get, and it makes me want to try the $50 pair to see how much better they are. It's smart that they reuse all the glasses so often, but I think they should find a way to cleanse them that uses less water, since so many go through. I thought it was pretty crazy the amount that are used per day, too.

Get to Know Activity

I interviewed Kayleigh Montgomery. She's a senior who is taking Intro to Broadcast Journalism for a public speaking credit to graduate. She enjoys softball, hanging out with friends and works at Papa Murphy's. Food wise, her favorite restaurant is Chipotle and she doesn't like berries at all! Something unique about her is that she has a geographic tongue, which means her taste buds move around on her tongue.
