Media blog 1 (Mr Halsey)

The future of journalism 1) Clay Shirk argues that "accountability journalism" is important as the media gets their information which they base their news story from journalist and if the journalist isn't correct or accountable then this makes the news story false and inaccurate.  2) I think he states that advertisers place their adverts on news websites showing how they have a symbiotic relationship as advertisers benefit from placing their news advert as they can get new customers from them viewing the advert and newspapers benefit as they make money from advertisers place their as on their websites. 3) I think Clay Shirk states that due to newspapers having so much content in terms of them consistently covering news stories, this causes the person reading the newspaper to go through many stories as they can thus unbundling as much content as they can. 4) If the internet was more widespread I992 then more people would have definitely known about it ...

News Values 1) Conflict :  Yemen conflict: A million more children face famine, NGO warns BBC News     Progress :  Kenya makes progress in supporting people with albinism, but ‘much remains to be done’ says UN expert   UN News      Disaster : Hurricane Florence The Guardian    Consequence :  Mental health and drug issues affecting vulnerable parts of Puerto Rican society   Bradenton Herald    Prominence : David Beckham sends VERY flirty message to A-List star on Instagram   Celebs Now    Novelty : UK braced for more disruption as Ali clean up continues   BBC News 2) The news story that was used to illustrate Galtung and Ruge's News Values was "British servicewomen died after Afghan bomb blast". This news story is likely to gain prominent coverage as it includes a British getting killed which would gain the interest of a British people acro...

News Story 3 1 ) https://www.dailymail.news.uk/news/article-6232587/Knifeman-goes-rampage-stabs-commuters-east-London-train.html Knifeman 'goes on the rampage' on London train and stabs one person putting Hackney Central station on lockdown. 2)   3) I would consider this news story hard news as hard news tends to talk about politics, war , economics and crime and this would be considered crime. Also, the website uses a factual approach in which they explain the events and what happened . This also talks about a serious topic which is a knife man going on rampage which causing three people to be hurt and because of this I would consider this hard news. 4) This might appeal to an audience as it uses Familiarity and Surprise. Familiarity is used as it the incident occurred in the Hackney which is in the UK causing the audience who are predominantly UK readers to be effected more as it is closer to them. Surprise is used as this incident is indeed a surprise whic...

News story 2   1)  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-6230247/Thousands-passengers-left-stranded-budget-airline-Primera-Air-goes-bust.html  The title of the news story is "Thousands of passengers are left stranded after budget airline Primera Air goes bust." 2)  3) After the airline of Primera Air files for bankruptcy thus shutting down airlines and airplanes. This then causes thousands of passengers being left stranded without any of them being able to go home. Passengers or people left their start to take pictures and post them on Instagram. I would say this is an example of soft news as even though the news story talks about an issue that many people are facing however this centres on the lives of the individual and has little urgency when compared to other events that are currently going such as the Syrian crisis which would be considered hard news. 4) This story might appeal to an audience as it talks about ever...

News story 1) https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6163063/Novichok-suspects-speak-TODAY-says-Kremlin-funded-Russia-Today.html The name of the news story is " Two Novichok assassins make bizarre claim on Russian TV - 24 hours after Putin insisted on they were civilians, not criminals" 2) 3) The news story is about two suspects named Ruslan Boshirov and Alexander Petrov and they've have spoken out for the first time and say they were just tourists  enjoying the delights of Salisbury. They've both been accused by British police of being two spies. They claim they are fearful for their lives and say that they were only in Salisbury because they wanted to visit Stone Henge. 4) This might appeal to an audience due to the increase of political issues which involve Russian. Also, people tend to have a negative view on the Russian government and if there is a story of two supposed assassins that entered the country that might intrigue people as one...
