Lives Lost- He stands up to show where the girls "perfected" their jump shots, practiced their cheering, and sang their first sweet song. He used the rule of threes with the kids sitting in the bleachers.

"Cheetah" Woods' Apology

After listening to this article I honestly believe he did just to get back on the golf course. Golf is his life, and his legacy. Yes, it is sad to see it overshadowed by an incedent(s) like this, but he needed to clear it up with the public and his fans. It is known that Tiger is a guy who can't even stand when a snapshot is taken during his backswing, can you ijmagine the mayhem if he just started golfing again straight away? While his apology is greatly appreciated by all, I think it should've come sooner. It's good that he's going to treatment for his "problem" and even though he'll never be married to his wife again, and owes her an enormous amount of money this apology will most likely be accepted by Elin, and everyone else.

The Threat Against Newspapers

If America loses it's newspapers I think it's going to be a very big deal. For some people newspapers are the only way they get there news, other than people telling them stuff they heard earlier that day. My family doesn't get newspaper delivered to our house anymore, but I enjoy reading the paper because it goes in depth more on things you can't see on FOX, or ESPN. If Minnesota and the rest of the world loses their syndicated newspapers, I think it would be a very bad thing.

Newsworthiness Notes

News is an account of events that interest and concern the public.

Criteria for Newsworthiness:

1. Unusualness- How out of the ordinary that particular news story is. (A Plane Crash, doesn't happen everyday and is rather unusual)
2. Significance- How important that particular news story is. (Taxes, Elections, Wars, Scientific Discoveries, the Economy)
3. Timeliness- How new that particular news story might be, or how quickly it is relayed to the public. (People want to know about the flood as it's happening not after the fact.)
4. Proximity- How close a person is to a place where a news story may occur. (Nearby Events: New Regional Highway, Tax Proposals)
5. Prominence- How well known a person, place, or thing involved in that particular story is. (If you're arrested shop lifting it's not a prominent as a movie star taken to prison.)
6. Human Interest- How that particular story appeals to the public. (A Heat-warming, Heart Wrenching, Humorous, or Dramatic Stories.)

Differences in Print/Broadcast Journalism:

1. Broadcast journalism is something that you would listen to, and Print Journalism is something you read.
2. Broadcast Journalism gernerally breaks the news to the public faster because it doesn't have to wait to be printed and distributed.
3. Broadcast Journalism is usually distributed electronically, and print journalism is usually distributed physically.

Brittany Murphy's Accidental Death

Yes, another person in Hollywood died of a drug overdose. I don't understand why these people want to do drugs. They have huge amounts of money, and still insist on doing things like this. With as many big name people that have died or have struggled with drug problems it's not uncommon to see drug usage in Hollywood, or anywhere celebrities may migrate to. But, the fact that she overdosed is really dissapointing.

Broadcast Journalism

My definition of Broadcast Journalism is reporting to, or informing people in some way of the answers to questions people would want to know.


Broadcast Journalism- Airing news/ current event instantaneously through TV, News, or Internet

Article Review

Overall, I agree with the environmental part of the process of reusing the 3-D glasses. Even though some people might not believe that its the most hygenic, it's definitely the most efficient. Especially since so many people saw Avatar, its easier and less expensive for companies to wash and reuse their 3-D glasses.

My Partner Interview

My partners name is Dylan Leininger. He took Broadcast journalism because he can see himself being the newscaster behind the desk delivering the news to people around the town. Dylan enjoys playing hockey, and even has a job as a ice hockey and soccer referee, and with the money he earns he likes to "make it rain." An interesting fact about dylan is that he has gray hair already and he hates it.
