Professional Article Review

About

This article is about how people feel uncomfortable about reporters ambushing them electronically for information on a report. Now that people can "live tweet" events, new reporters want accurate information they can give the public and quickly.

Article Review

This author takes the standpoint that it is a reporters job to give accurate information to the public. He says that journalists have been saying the public misinterpret their actions,"this how news is gathered and how the pubic gets accurate information when news breaks"(Farhi). Before this news reporters would knock on doors or ask strangers. The article does not show a clear standpoint of whether or not they agree with the claim that new reporters are attacking people via social media or not. The article gives plenty of evidence that is relevant. The author summarizes what happened in Oregon and how reporters are getting backlash for trying to get information about the event.

My Critique

The author does not give a clear claim. He gives good evidence to  prove a point, but it is not clear on what he is supporting. The evidence does give a good point of view as to why a reporter goes to social media first. There is self promotion within the article. There is a gallery of photos that show what caused the media reports. I don't understand what claim the author is trying to make. He does not give a clear statement of what side he choses.

Conclusion

This article was interesting how technology is now backlashing on reporters. Before technology it was hard to receive accurate or fast information, but now that we can get information faster people are not happy with it.

My script was originally about a boy and girl who both suffered from social anxiety and together they are able to work on it and overcome it.  The pre-production process was rushed due to our time restraints. Courtney spent a day revising the script to reduce the amount of locations we had to go to. I called a couple coffee shops to see if we could film there, but ended up filming everything at JCCC. I also created shot lists for our shoot day in order to try and give some structure and efficiency. Courtney was our actress and she found Danny for our actor. I was the cinematographer and editor for the film. Originally Grayson was the cinematographer, but was unable to make the shoot.  On a Saturday Courtney, Danny, Wes, a...

Color Codes Today I shall teach you about hexadecimal, rgb, and rgba colors. I will also teach you how to use the rgba colors in Dreamweaver. Hexadecimal and rgb makes it easier to manipulate how dark and light a color is compared to telling Dreamweaver light blue, which could not be the right shade for you. This gives you the power to get the color you specifically need. This is especially helpful in web design so your server knows which exact color needs to be used because this is an almost universal code. Color Words: Color words are colors written is words hence "color words" You do not have as much control over the shade and tint of the color In a code you will type the color name Example: Website:   Color Words List   Hexadecimal:  The hexadecimal color code is a 6 word and or number combination.
