2012!!!! The Shift

     I, The President of the United States, was very honored to serve as your leader. I see though that at the end of this month [december of 2012] the world will implode. I am very sorry. I'm also very sorry also for not listening to the mayan calendar.
    For the time remaining you must be calm and act as if it's a normal December.
                       End of Messege...Second to Last Day...
  I'm The President of the United States and I've announced that I have a solution for this problem. I will be mailing a lethal or suicide pill to each person in the U.S. It will kill you all, but it will be instant and painless. Please take them this night because tomorrow is the day! Thank you and enjoy your last day! ☺

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ NEWS HEADLINE: Not News Worthy!

     I don't think that "Space-Time Cloak" should really be any news, especially the head news. The possibility is only slightly possibly. They say it's mathematically possible, but that means it would take time, tools, and the knowledge. It's just to unreal.
     The people overreacting to this shouldn't be. For example: your dad says you might get ice cream (or whatever you like). You think that's a immediately a 'yes you are'. When you don't get ice cream your sad and all the dad says is, "I said maybe darling". The dad= scientist. The ice cream(or what you like)= Space-Time Cloak. You have to consider the possible not happening of the space thingy. 

Illegal Downloading

   I don't think it's very ethical to let people illegally download images. What if you were that person? How would you feel? What happens if it were your best friend in that situation?? I was in that situation about one month ago....
                                                                            ☺
   Me and my friends were hang'in around a tree that had fallen near my house. I saw my friend kissing her boyfriend. So I took a pictures, not the best idea ever! They found out and the both got angry. They chased me around to delete the picture from my phone.
   Finally my friend, Alice, got the phone but instead of deleting them she threw it in a lake!! Not a happy ending. Thats what I got for "illegal downloading images". It was embarrassing for her and I should of listened.

Ethics !REVISED!

     Communications ethics can be put into many categories. It could go into personal ethics because everything they write is cause from their personal ethics. An example could be some writers won't write about all the gossip and others won't write anything but the gossip.
     

State Requests Silence

I think we shouldn't listen to the state's request, for this particular case. I think people have the right to know what is going on.Some times yes we should follow the request, but it really just depends on the situation. I mean if it was something stupid then o you should listen to the request of the state.

Religious Cartoons

  I believe that we should respect the muslim religion. We shouldn't publish the charicatures of the Prohet Muhammed. Obviously the muslims do not approve of the republishing in 2006 from those tweleve pictures.They were rioting, burning embassies and and killing people!
  Nobody would love it if they disrespected any of the religion beliefs in our country. So no, i don't think it's right to disrespect them or anything like that such. And just think we don't need another war coming... do we?

Non-coverage of diabetes

How is the news not covering the diabetes problem? All the news is focused on the news of justin bieber and not the real stories. Diabetes is the real story i mean we all love the fast food, but look at the side effects of it all: EVERYBODY GETS FAT AND HAS DIABETES! No one wants that. All the lovely food has it's evil for example that Mcdonalds has one of the most fatting foods ever. Think about it...

Tape It!

I disagree about how the interviewer recorded the interview with out the person being interviewed without having any knowledge of the act. I can see how they would think that not telling them about how they're being recorded would make it a more truthful statement,but still they have the right to know about the recording.

Social Networking Revolution

Social networking has revolutionized in making friends since all the websites for example like: facebook,eharmony, and myspace.People don't have to even leave their house so they can make friends.It's easier to make friends with common interest since all the compatibility sites.
        The news is revolutionized since now you don't need the news paper or the news on television to find out about it.Just click a button and you know all the latest news reports.The revelation of communication is now you could be miles and miles from each other but talk to each other from a tiny device called a cell-phone!Now in business the revolution hasn't been much but now you can text/call your friends or co-workers can tell you what they did that day.

Journalism Delema

Well no, the journals are getting slightly off task with all the gossip on blogs instead of hard news.i mean it's all about Justin Bieber and him going through pubity(his voice)!Really it should be about cold hard news!!!!
(i didn't really understand the question)

Writers Block

 Many countries control a journalists freedom of speech.For example:you could go to china and right a journal;next day your dead by bullet from a policeman. Apperently they don't allow free press! what the freak.I think there is nothin we can do or should do.I mean there is three reasons for this: 1.)it's not our country. 2.)we're in the middle of making peace with them. 1.) also we already in one war we can barely handle so i don't think we can handle two at one time.

Hard news ideas

Hard news ideas for Ancient bakery:
-where it happended
-when it happened
-what happened
-why it happened
-how it happened

Army of Journalist

 I think it's a horrible idea to put journalist in the war. Bob wood may of been a journalist in the war AND say it's a great idea. i disagree from to perspectives:my uncles in the war and i know if too many soldiers die then they will use the story-crazy journalist as army men.the second perspective is from me, a journalist, who doesn't agree because they shouldn't just let a random journalist in the war! they would freak, they know nothing of procedure or cautions!!!

The Privacy Thought

    Have you ever thought "oh crap i shouldn't of done that!". After that your stomachs in a knot and have a major headache just by the thought of the post you sent out on that website that anybody can see. I once was on facebook and posted something about my friend and she got freaking made at me!!!!!!! So think before you post "think it before post it" : )                          -John Perry

Dove Church Incident

Would you agree with Terry Jones;Would you burn the Koran?On nine eleven Terry Jones was going to burn the Muslims holy book because like three Muslims out of thousands destroyed a building. Terry thinks its a big deal when really its just a building gone and tons of lives lost which by now we have more than that! he thinks that making thousands of people angry because some people killed only about 300 people. I disagree with Terry Jones because his idea was idiotic. I also think the media completely made a big deal out of some act of stupidity like a kid who got his blankie taken from his brother so he toke his cookie.

Discovery in Egypt!

Dr. John Darnel and his wife Deborah Darnel has discovered a bakery complex in Egypt! John says this discovery ,in kharga oasis, could change history for a not very well known egyptian time period. they call the site Umm Mawagir in arabic meaning "mother of bread molds".

What is best to remember when writing a hard news story.

When writing a hard news story its best to remember that when writing one it shouldn't be about any celebrity scandal or some sort; for example "did you hear about  Justin did this and blah blah blah!".Another reason is do you really have evidence about any of the gossip(gossips are just rumors); its not important and it's stupid. What you should be writing about is great news with hard evidence supporting it!
