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 Logo

My logo is a fake coffee shop I would create. It's called After Midnight Cafe because it would be for the night dwellers who stay up late and like to have a place to go. The dark blue almost black represents the night sky. It is supposed to be calming and peaceful for the customers. I chose this font because it has a nice look that is not too serious but still professional.

AB Sequence

In the  AB Sequence project I learned that you use almost all the same components as the 6 shot sequence. The only difference is that there are 2 sets of of 6 shot sequences and a few in between shots. In my next project I will try to incorporate different angles instead of the same angles each time. When I incorporate different angles it will make my video look more interesting. In a collaboration you combine two or more things together to creae one whole thing.  In this project you had to combine two 6 shot sequences with some extra shots in between to create one video. Having a partner also requires collaboration. We had to work together and use two activities of her choice and combine the clips into one video.

Semester Reflection

Looking Back... At the beginning of the year I was terrified because I did not know who everyone was and I thought I was going to be a loner. I became friends with Sydney and Mallory which helped. We have been doing convergence journalism, in my opinion, it sucks. I think entertainment will be better.  The projects we have done are: basic procedure, an audio story, an ONW now feature story, a report on the school blood drive, and out ONW Now segment. The key invent of this semester was Allam getting fired. It really messed up the flow of the class because the sub knew nothing, I personally did not enjoy her company, and everyone was confused about what to do. The other key event was producing the ONW Now show. It was kind of stressful having to plan things out and make sure everything got finished. I did enjoy my group, we worked smoothly. The class did not have enough computers for everyone so someone had to use the teacher's, but a student left the class so a free compute...
