Repsonse to Classmate (J1-2) (late)

http://manualjc.blogspot.com/2013/11/internet-privacy.html?m=1

Sarah had talked about the lecture we had going over Internet. And when we did the topic of internet privacy came up. She even gave an example of someone on her Facebook timeline being so oblivious to what she posted. Giving out times, locations, and other information has been so prevalent in the past years or so because our younger generations just don't understand that you could get in real trouble by posting things of that nature. Its a disgrace really.
I'm just glad that Sarah had hit this right on the head. Like most people, i forgot about how serious this can be. So kudos to Sarah and try to stay safe out there.

Sam had put on his blog that he thought the reasons why we still go to the movies is really interesting. I can agree.
One reason that he mentioned was that the movies are an immersive experience. While that is quite true  it's not the only reason we go. Yet it is a big part of it. I can definitely agree on why that's probably my favorite thing about going to the movies. Sam had done a great job on informing others about this topic.

Reponse to Classmate (J1-2)

I think that Lauren actually did a very good job on noticing something that was done wrongly on the news station that she watched. The lack of detail would be a huge problem in whether or not the story is news worthy. If there is not enough detail for the story then how can it be super relevant, especially to the people in the area. It's good that she caught this. And because WAVE 3 only shows an average of about 7 stories, most to all of them should be in depth. They aren't according to Lauren. Because of this, you wonder what they do with their time. It's basically commercials, weather, and sports. That won't help anyone in a time of need if something new happens and people need to know about it. The news station then won't have enough time to air every important thing they need to.

Alyssa did a nice job covering what the WLKY news station might have missed and may have to fix. What i mean is the shortened amount of time that they have to actually cover stories while on the air. From what i got by reading the blog, was that WLKY spends too much time on some stories so others may not be included. Those smaller stories that aren't included may impact the daily lives of people in the area. Such as the story WLKY didn't share about the bridge crash that backed up traffic heavily that day. I totally agree that new stations need to worry more about sharing the stories that will effect people, rather than fluff.

But one thing that she didn't mention was what principle or yardstick that this violated. If she would have then explained how the critique would've been a whole lot better.
