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 demassifi...

Thoughts About WLKY: Name of man killed in Clarksville shooting released

Title: Name of man killed in Clarksville shooting released     When reading this article about a man who got shot by a neighbor because he was abusing his wife and her 9-year-old daughter, I found that it had little relevance and impact to the people living in the community. When writing the story, the journalist did not implicate how this affects members of the community or why this affects them.    The journalists just told us what happened, the killer's name, and that there will be no charges on the man that killed the abuse of husband. These are all things stated by the police, showing that this is is not following one of the seven-yard stick, enterprise. Enterprise is when a journalist is actively seeking answers to questions asked by the community, however, this story is not doing this, but instead just repeating what the police said.  They did not ask the witnesses or interview the wife or daughter. This causes the s...

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 s...
