Media Ethics Blog

       If I saw a police officer attacking and brutally beating a homeless man, I would interface. Firstly, I would take a quick photo of the brutal attack because the evidence is essential, and I don't want to be accused of something untrue. There would most likely be bystanders recording this scene because that's how the world works now. We watch injustice happen to innocent people and never stand up for them. I would discourage the officer by yelling at him to stop and telling him that people are recording everything happening. Getting physical with the officer would put me in danger, including everyone around us. A police officer attacking the community they are supposed to protect is not right in the head. It's highly wrong to watch someone get brutally beaten and take a photo for your editor just to get paid.

Yahoo Finance Blog

     This blog will discuss the Lyft stock exchange and what I discovered. The company's market capitalization is 3.1 billion as of today. Lyfe is trading its stock for $3.49. That's pretty affordable if someone is interested in buying supplies for Lyfe. Lyfe's enterprise value is 3.18 billion today, but it was 12.11 billion in March 2022. Lyfe seems to be doing well and will continue growing as people buy their stocks. 

First Amendment Blog

 I asked about six friends if they could name all five freedoms granted by the first amendment and it was hilarious to hear them tell me. I realize that a lot of people including myself don't realize our rights and I think it's because of how the world is. Some of us don't have the privileges that most do where it's normal to have these rights. 2 out of the 6 people I interviewed knew their five freedoms granted by the first amendment. After talking with them, I took the time to read the amendments again to refresh my mind on them so I can educate my friends in the future who are unsure of the rights. 

Growing up with video games

Video games have been a way to escape reality since I was seven. I remember, as a kid, I would play on the Wii with my two siblings. We would play our favorite Wii game which was Wii sports. My favorite mini-game on Wii sports was track racing and tennis. I enjoyed how interactive the game was. It made me feel energized after coming home from school. Games nights with my family always hold a particular spot in my heart. It was great having those moments when you could all come together and have fun. No matter if we were fighting hours before, we would still come together and have fun. Playing the Wii together introduced my love for video games and gave me a passion for new electronics.  When we got a desktop in our home, my mom allowed me access to her Facebook account. The reason she allowed us on Facebook was to play the games there. We would play games such as candy crush, animal planet, and sims. My favorite game to play was Uno because I could invite my siblings are friend...

Writing to be read blog

                 Can you guess the celebrity? They are from new jersey and began writing music at 17. She started her music career on youtube and Tumblr, where she would post videos of her performing different songs. One of her original songs blew up on Soundcloud and led to her being contacted by various recording labels. Before she got the stage name, we knew her as she would perform under different stage names. Her stage name refers to a station on the new york city subway in Brooklyn. She spent a lot of time there as a teen. In 2014, she released her debut EP which charted on the billboard 200. She opened for Imagine Dragons in 2015 for their North American tour. One of her musical influences is Justin Bieber, and she even got to collaborate with him on one of his songs from his album Purpose. Her collaboration with The Chainsmokers gave her a boost of fame and success in 2016. She continues to influence music in the pop genre and cr...

News Lead Blog

                 I collected three news leads from different internet sites. I used articles from "ABC," "Fox News," and "NY Post." The ABC article talked about a man fatally shot by a sheriff's deputy outside a Colorado middle school who wants to take legal action. This article used a summary lead. The article started with a summary of the entire post and gave the reader detailed information in the other set of paragraphs. It answers the five Ws of journalism and tells the reader what happened to the victim and why he wants to sue. It does not elaborate on the deputies who committed the crime and the reason for their actions. This lead caught my attention right away after reading the first paragraph. I prefer to read an article with a capturing title and topic sentence.       The Fox news article is informative and reports on Minnesota officials urging ammo factory workers to test kids for lead exposure. This article a...

News Story VS News Release

          There needs to be more clarity regarding the differences between a new story and a news release. I will explain the two in the most straightforward ways so you can understand. News stories are usually about a person or people. They can contain a lot of information regarding a situation, for example, politics. If a politician is exposed about his controversial past, there would be a news story about it. It would contain details about the incident creating backlash and the politician's statement. This would be considered a news story because it reports about the main topic, informs the audience about the relevant details, and keeps them updated with the latest details regarding the ongoing story. A news release is information from the community or offices with different titles, such as communication directors. Journalists would use this information instead of coming up with it by interviewing the person or people. In simpler terms, a news release ...
