Response KC"s Blog-J1

When reading KC’s blog ( https://is.gd/tZ7Frs) I agreed with everything she said. I to love point out truth tellers. Just because some people claim it’s the truth it doesn’t mean it is. We in the world of journalism should all be truth tellers.
People shouldn’t be dubious KC is saying. Not everything you read is true. Do your research on a specific topic and use sources. Often times people will just let the mainstream media spew garbage at them and be okay with it.
She made a point in censorship. In Russia they huge censorship laws. This also happens in many Middle Eastern countries too. This has got to end . We the people need to be given good news.

Class Discussion Response on Conglomeration-J1

At first when we started talking about conglomeration I didn’t know what Mr.Miller was talking about. I thought in my head “What is conglomeration?”. But, as he started to explain it became clear to me what he was talking about. As soon as Mr.Miller said “These big companies own lots of small companies to spread their message” . The first thing that came to mind was something I saw on Twitter a while back ago. It said 6 corporations own about 90% of what we watch and listen to. I knew that large corporations like to spread their message (good or bad) to as many people as possible. They have such an impact on our lives that we rarely even know. As said earlier they have the potential to spread their message, no matter if it's against the people’s wishes or not. As I see this unravel I grow deeply saddened , because in my view no one corp. should have so much power in this modern society. This is one thing I’ve been waiting to talk about , because this is an important issue and ...

Printing Press Discussion-What if it didn't exist?-J1

Today in class we talked about how our lives would be different if the printing press didn’t exist. I can tell you know that we had some deep thoughts in this discussion. My first reaction was me not doing anything but working. We wouldn’t have any kind of school unless you were rich. Imagine not having a chance to go to school because you’re poor or not good enough. That would be outrageous. We would all be illiterate. Books would be few, and life would be hard. We would have to literally sit around and talk amongst each other. What a radical idea? Things would be very different. I heard multiple people say they wouldn’t even be here. Either they were mixed or their parents met in college. The reason I say mixed people wouldn’t be alive is because their ancestors come from different areas around the world. People didn’t travel much prior to the Colonial era. People lived tight knit societies. You would have regional activities that only they would know. There would be many di...

Class Response-J1 blog

A couple of days ago both journalism classes had a group discussion. Mr.Miller made a Google Slideshow called “72 hours of hell”. That was a very good title. Last week was tragic for too many people. From the Kroger shooting, to the package bombs, and lastly the Synagogue shooting in Pennsylvania. We really needed to talk about this. Mr.Miller went over stuff that we as regular citizens should do. We openly talked about these terrible acts and heard many opinions on the topic. I comment I heard specifically was “ These terrible acts are happening from both sides of the aisle”, but that's simply not true. When in last 10 years have you seen any leftist do something to this degree? I bet your answer was “no” . We talked on how we should watch out for ourselves and overall be more aware. I think in today's society we need to change the way we think. These crazed people were racist, Anti-semitic , hated all minorities. Maybe mental health was a problem, but t...
