Personal Reflection Of Newspapers

This statement really resonates with me. I am fully unable to understand many things if I only read them one time. The first time I read over to get the "gist" of the text. On my second reading, I skim the text a bit more quickly and pull out sentences that don't make much sense to me and I analyze them more in depth. This helps me a whole heck of a lot to better understand what I am reading.

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.

As a manager of a large residential service and working with a varied range of groups and individuals, communication is a vital part of how we care and support the people we work with. Communication affects my work setting in many ways, with the service user, their families, friends, social workers, counsellors, support services and medical professionals that we work with. The way that this can be done is in person, body language, telephone calls, text messaging, emails, group work, literature and written correspondence.

Solution of cheating culture is honor codes and techniques for academic integrity which are important parts of the solution. It is the responsibility of students as well as faculty and administration to establish an environment where honest students do not feel that they are at risk or disadvantage. “Just as cheating can become normalized at a school, so too can academic integrity efforts move the pendulum in the other direction and create a climate where cheating is not cool” (Callahan, 2005). Academic integrity and

Looking into the past by viewing old newspapers through a microfilm that was published on my birthday, February 4th, throughout the years of 1860-1940, was quite interesting. Getting the chance to see how similar things were, yet how far along newspapers in the United States came from analyzing the newspapers on how they were set up and the content that was involved and going on in the world at that specific time. Not only being able to see the changes in the way the papers were set up, but realizing that newspapers have so many similarities that we see in papers published today.

Within my job role it is essential to practice effective communication; it is a major aspect of the smooth running of the organisation therefore the systems are monitored to ensure they are used correctly and action is taken if improvements are necessary. In each of the projects there are communication books; these are used as a daily log for the staff to record the activities within the home, visitors and general day to day goings-on. There is additionally a handover book whereby important messages and information can be passed between staff, for example a medication change or if a citizen is away for the weekend; I make sure a note is put in the handover book then the same note is relayed in the other handover books (based at other projects)

Chaney on a Wednesday gave me an opportunity to attend the weekly staff meeting. This was a surprising and informational experience. Prior to the shadowing I had no clue that I would be invited to attend the staff meeting so I wasn’t sure what to expect. The staff meeting remined me of chapter eight “organizational communication”. I observed coworkers engage in water cooler communication before the meeting began which made me view the department as a friendly environment. During the staff meeting a warm welcome was presented to individuals who were attending their first staff meeting and sharing exciting news. I also received a warm welcome when Mr. Chaney introduced me to the other

The overall look of this newspaper, made it difficult to determine where one article would start and end. The search feature on the database made finding the articles much easier. I found it interesting that not every article had a headline, which also made it difficult to read. An interesting note was the language and the proper wording was so different from the current sentence structure used today. The majority of the terminology that was used was unfamiliar. The variety of the topics was interesting. Some of the articles were very brief and others were long and boring. It would be interesting to know what type of individuals that wrote the articles in the newspapers at that time.

I have worked for The Advocate, a Baton Rouge award winning newspaper, for more than 23 years. When I first hired on in May of 1992, it was only to be a temporary job until I finished college. Before computers and electronic layout programs simplified this process with the click of a button, people had to cut out and paste the stories, pictures, and advertisements that appeared in the daily newspaper. This was my job: I was a Compositor. I worked evenings so this allowed me the availability to go to school during the day. I have always been a hard worker and taken pride in whatever assignment I was given. This character trait was recognized by others and I was quickly promoted to other jobs. As the computer age and world wide web came to life,

Although the topic of communications is broad, there are very few, if any, job situations where you will never have to work with or communicate with others. The McGraw-Hill assessment shows that I have moderate communication competence with a score of 68% (2017). Improving in this area would require me to remain vigilant in how I manage my verbal and nonverbal gestures such as tone, touch, facial expressions, eye contact and active listening (Kinicki, 2016, pp. 299-301). From an organizational standpoint, I may benefit from embodying a storytelling approach, thoughtfully sharing details and information in a systematic, fluid, approachable, presentable and engaging way (Kinicki, 2016, pp.

In the wave of information explosion appeared in 90’ last century, the channels to obtain information among people have apparently been diversified due to the rise of new media outlets through the medium of the Internet. Although some advantage of newspaper has been overshadowed by the excellent performance of new media, newspaper is actively adapting to social and economic transformation based on maintaining its existing advantages. For this reason, the essay will describe newspapers’ prospects and explore whether newspaper have been outdated in the globalised era.

Communication is the process of exchanging information in such a way that mutual understanding is achieved between two or more people regarding work-related issues. In general terms, it is a psychological process of sharing information to achieve common understanding between ourselves and others (Dunn, 2015). The process of communicating to the community, stakeholders, partners and San Franciscans in order to achieve desired outcome is one that is not novel to the SFDPH. The SFDPH has to communicate public health issues or an outbreak of epidemic to the community as large, and it is important for the channel via which communication flow to be as effective as possible in order to avoid misinterpretation of the message. In the research study which we will further discuss

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.

In 1760, The Boston News-Letter was the first newspaper to be continuously published in the United States. A 250-year legacy of printed news could not have lasted if it newspapers didn't not have it uses. Aside from the entertainment value, newspapers exist for the main purpose of bringing news of international, national, and local news to the doorsteps of the people. Without such frequent and stable form of communication, it would be difficult for any nation to call itself a free democracy. Today however, it cannot be expected that newsprint will last forever. Statistical data firmly suggests newspapers around the world are falling both in number and circulation. The past several years have been difficult for newspapers as other news

JL MC 477 has influenced my thoughts and perspectives of how the media represents diverse cultures, ethnicities, social classes, and even gender. This course has helped me clarify how and why the media identifies each group with their own stereotype or portrayal. Before the course, I had a general idea of what the media portrayed specific groups as, but now I am able to understand deeper because this course enhanced my thinking and analysis of each one. I have become aware that many of the portrayals of these groups from the media reflect reality.
