Analysis of Newspaper Research Report Results

Clay Shirky who wrote Newspapers and Thinking the Unthinkable (1993) argues that society doesn’t need newspapers society needs journalism to save society. Shirky supports this argument by giving a historical background to the problems newspapers face and how the problems have developed over time and the solutions society has came up with. The blogger concludes that in order for journalism to go farther new models must be created in place of past molds. Shirky directs this blog toward the current and future generations in attempt to motivate new models and methods of journalism.

Oral contraceptives have provided the world with great outcomes. Planned parenthood stated that birth control has “advanced women’s educational opportunities, led to more college-educated women pursuing advanced professional degrees, enhanced children’s well being in the long run, saved women money, reduced teen pregnancy, and reduced unwanted pregnancy” (“Birth Control” 1-3). The argument that birth control has done great things for society is obvious.

On the 3rd of February 1998, a U.S. military jet sliced the wire of a

Therefore, they are considering the public’s opinion, and gathering information based on these studies which is unbiased. The quality of the article is very organized. It has subtitles for each section, charts and tables to show statistics, and a conclusion of the studies.

Both authors have PhD and work with the Center for Medicine, Health, and Society, which makes them experts on the field. Also the data used in their examples is from recent years, which make their data reliable.

Although the majority of women can receive birth control from their insurance companies, there is still a need for over the counter birth control. Recently, contraception in the United States has become more of a political issue rather than a public health issue. Present-day contraceptives come in a variety of forms, but still have the same function; to prevent unintended pregnancies (Cartwright-Smith 541). Cartwright-Smith also stated that in addition, certain hormonal contraceptives are prescribed to treat medical conditions such as severe menstrual pain, excessive menstrual bleeding, acne, migraines, endometriosis, and uterine fibroids (541). There have been arguments about how over the counter birth control leads to “promiscuity”. Moreover,

The article does well provide details to support main point of the author argument. In fact, the usage of statistics and other people stories may reinforced the credibility of this article. Furthermore, because of the usage of clear language and key terms that were fine defined aids the readers in understanding the message of the text. The only downfall of the article is some of statistics is not well supported with evidence or a guidelines guiding us back the origins of these statistics, although the paper is not flawless, the overall strong point of it defeats it

On the contrary Gotsche & Olsen (2000) disputed the findings of the Swedish randomised trials, claiming screening for breast cancer is unjustifiable, as there is inconsistency within the randomisation of the trial, as two of these trials found no effect of screening on mortality. A meta analysis was conducted by Gotsche & Olsen on the Swedish Trials results. This meta analysis found that ‘for every 1000 women screened biennially throughout 12 years one breast cancer death is avoided, whereas the total number of deaths is increased by six’. Other studies that were conducted in New York, Canada and Edinburgh had also been criticised on the methods of randomisation and validity.

In the hot days near the end of June 1998, my mother dealt with me kicking inside of her stomach. Similarly, in Washington, D.C., Senator John McCain dealt with figurative kicks in the stomach as the bill he created was being shut down. Determined and persuasive, big tobacco companies aimed their advertisements at teenagers more than ever before. Some members of Congress wanted to end the advertising, while others thought about the upcoming November election and did not want to be put on the bad side of big tobacco companies, who were some of their major campaign backers. Back in Louisville, Kentucky, my dad sat with my very pregnant mother; at the same time, he held a cigarette between his teeth and read the Courier Journal, which read all about the tobacco bill. During the last few weeks of my mother’s pregnancy, tobacco was the topic; specifically, Senator McCain’s tobacco bill, Kentucky analyzed how the tobacco bill

there is ongoing research on reducing the risk and how to cure the disease (Bethune,

The article we read over the Inuit tribe in Alaska was about this group of people and how the chances of them getting cancer are so little, it almost never happens. “1 in 1000 chances” as it says in the blog. The author of the blog is arguing that the reason the Inuit tribe’s chances of getting cancer are so rare because of the vitamin B17, which is in grass, which is what caribou eat, which is what the Inuit people eat. According to the author, vitamin B17 (or Laetrile) causes cancer prevention. While I agree that the theory does make sense, I don’t necessarily agree with it due to my own amount of research. I agree that most of the facts do hold up, such as the one mentioned earlier about the “1 in 1000 chances” and the fact that the Inuit people’s diet consists of caribou, seal, salmon, bears, and others. But as a whole, I feel that it may be other factors that are contributing as to why the Inuit people’s chances of getting cancer are so low.

Another limitation is that many of the articles did not report outcomes separately for the average women and those who are high risk leaving room for estimates to be biased. Quantitative estimates of outcomes were based from a relatively simple approach which could cause over or underestimation of mortality reduction. In conclusion, this study found that breast cancer screenings are associated with a 20% reduction in mortality rates among women of any age at average risk.

Ovarian cancer is less common, with a projected 22, 440 new cases. However, it carries a much higher mortality rate.

The exact cause of premature ovarian failure is unknown. In some women, genetic plays an important role. In an immune system disorder, the body may attack its own tissues; in this case the ovaries. I have no idea why the study was conducted in that university in Egypt. However, while researching for my topic, I found that there has been many studies to test the effectiveness of this treatment in both animals and human.

A Comparison of Two Different Newspapers In the following essay, I intend to compare the differences and similarities in which two different newspapers - a tabloid (The Mirror) and a broadsheet (The Times) report the same story. I will be looking at the presentation and the use of language as well as the basics of how the story is put forward and told. Both papers are reporting the same story in which Prince Philip made a statement along the lines that 'guns are no more dangerous than cricket bats' following a shooting at a school in Dunblane in Scotland. In general there are many differences between tabloids and broadsheets.
