Modern News

Microsoft News App for Edge | Microsoft

The new, it’s something that almost every kid hates when it’s taking up the tv at night, and It’s something you don’t talk during when Dads Trying to listen. the news used to be the people eyes and ears for any breaking news happening around the world, the news would tell you anything from what world leaders had at lunch during a meeting to where the newest war is today. Now a days the news seems more like a reality tv show rather than an informative channel. But is it that news stations are getting more untrustworthy or the people are getting harder to keep watching something?

How to Cultivate Great Sponsorships for Your Nonprofit - The Modern  Nonprofit

                      As we have talked about in previous blogs that entertainment has changed a lot over the years, and the people watching it have changed as well. The way people consume this entertainment has changed the most over the years, from books and newspapers to radios to tv. With the way they send the media out has changed so has the ability to go more and more into depth in the topic so people get better understanding of what people feel and say. This also makes it easier to see how people truly feel inside by being able to see peoples face as they talk unlike the radio and newspapers. This could mean that the reason behind news stations getting more political is that they aren’t doing anything more besides their facial expression and the tone of their voice when they talk about someone. For example, if news caster 1 says “Trump signed another executive order then morning” and says it in a monotone voice without a smell. Than news caster 2 on another channel says “The President signed an executive order this morning” with a upbeat tone and a smell on there face. I think it’s pretty safe to say most people can pick up on what way the news casters lean politicly. And this is some of what I think is happing today and why there are news networks that lean one way or the other is because it’s sometimes hard to hide how you really feel when talking on camera but it is easier to hide your views when writing in a newspaper not saying it’s not possible but its definably harder.

The Newsroom,' an HBO Series From Aaron Sorkin - The New York Times

                      This week’s viewing was very interesting and was very cool to watch what it’s like inside a newsroom other than the movie the Anchorman. The first episode of the news room was very fast paced which I liked lot, this show really show chased the work that goes in to a news story from the beginning to end. It also talked about how news is not just news it is paid for by sponsors and the news station has to a line its self with the sponsors values it’s not just a news station that produces news. I also think the way they determine what news stores ae worth covering was very out dated seeming and makes me wonder what stores they pass up on to keep a narrative or to save a political party they are affiliated with. I think news should be free flowing and we shouldn’t just hear about the things that will make the most money or the most sure thing, it should be about the American people and what they need to hear and nothing else.

My question to the readers is what do you think does it make you nervous that the news is getting to be more about their affiliations and not about bring you the stores that matter to the people?

    It definitely worries me because we are not getting the real picture of what is happening. If a certain news station only focuses on what is happening on one side, like a political party it is just contributing to a false narrative. We need to be able to listen and discern for ourselves. I think that we have gotten too used to having an answer right away and the truth takes much more time to get to. To follow a story, you need to have the time to interview people and continue to uncover truths. I just feel like there are so many people looking for the shiny things that it is much easier to move onto the next story. As for political parties, we see how people argue back and forth on the news, it just seems like a difficult battle to fight. I think that we need to have certain regulations for journalists across the board and for all stations and better representation.

    I’m definitely troubled by our news sources being manipulated by money. Obviously in our current system it’s not really a possibility to run news well w out some kind of payment, but when it gets to the point where they are being influenced by those paying them, something needs to change. I firmly believe news should be unbiased and factual and I can’t be too sure how much of that currently exists.
