Response to Macy Waddle's blog post"Conglomerate Businesses"

When reading Macy Waddles's blog post I liked how she clearly stated the definition of a conglomeration, this made it really easy to understand her post later when she used that world again. Another thing I really interesting about her post was that she talked about the aspect of conglomerations that she found most interesting, "infotainment". She also uses many good examples of infotainment in her blog like the history channel, which I believe is infotainment too. Her helpful examples made it easy to understand what she was talking about. Even though her post had a one or two spelling erase it was very interesting.

Demassification

Demassification In my previous blogs, I talked a lot about mass communication, however, I never mentioned demassification. Demassification is when something goes from being popular and reaching a mass audience too not being popular and reach a niche audience. A niche audience is a fraction of a mass audience. How radio has gone through the process of demassification A good example of demassification is radio. Radio used to be a very popular source of mass communication in the 60's they attempted to reach out to everyone on radio stations, families, adults, teens, etc. However, that is not the case anymore, when television was invented it soon too radios place. After this the radio started to reach out to a niche audience, some radio stations only played classical music and some only play pop. This caused the radio to demassify. An important thing to note when looking for demassification in the modern world is that demassification is not losing the audience but reacting to

Steps to Mass Communication

Steps to Mass Communication In my last blog, I talked about mass communication, what it was and how it affected you. In this blog, I will explain the 5 steps that it takes to form mass communication. All of which we talked about in journalism class. Step 1: The Stimulus The stimulus is where it all starts. A person starts off with an idea, an example that I will be using throughout these steps is my blog. My stimulus would be my idea/assignment to write about topics that have come up n journalism class. Step 2: Encoding Encoding is the step where you began making your idea into a produced. So in my example, I would be typing up and editing my blog. Step 3: transmission Transmission is a crucial par to mass communication. It is where your idea gets transferred out for the world to see. In my case, the transmission part would only include me hitting the publish button. However, in another case, it can be a very long process, like the disturbing book possibly across the worl

J1 media critique "Toddler killed after being struck by vehicle in southwest Louisville"

Media Critique "Toddler killed after being struck by vehicle in southwest Louisville" - WLKY On WLKY's news website I found an article that talked about a mother in Louisville accidentally hitting her toddler with the car. This story does not follow all 7 rules of the 7 Yardsticks of Journalism . Although this story did take place in Louisville it had little relevance to the actual citizens of Louisville, which means it does not follow the first yardstick, "newsworthiness". This story does not affect a lot of people for a long time, sure it does affect the child's family for a long time, but otherwise, it does not really affect anyone else. Away the journalist could have made this story more relevant is by talking about the importance of an adult supervisor and then listed multiple similar events happening. When reading this article and watching the video I noticed how they had sources that were not that reliable, which is not following th
