Today at CJN network we have a crisis in what to publish first on our broadcast. As news director, I want to touch on the subject of the local park closing 3 days a week to save currency when the first segment opens. We also have to focus on the gloomy subject of losing a major superstar today. Our role of being a multimillion dollar media outlet is to give the people what they want. I understand that local news is important, but our ratings could increase substantial if we cover the entire tragedy on death. Although, I do believe that the local park closing for 3 days will affect mostly women and children, I do not see a need to continue hours of coverage over this. We will state a link to our website for more detailed information on the park closings with dates and times for our views to relate to. This link will be discussed and shown when the story goes live on television. It is our role as well-known news cast to deliver correct information to our viewers. We have many reporters on the story 24 hours to keep us up-to-date, and provide facts to the viewers. If a there is a major break in the story we do have and will enforce our right to break into other programs for updates. Again, we must stick to the facts. This will allow the viewers to understand what is taking place at all times. All information from both stories will be on our website. It is very important that we keep all links modern. If anyone finds any errors on the site or incorrect, misleading information, please contact me immediately, because with the website we are able to fix any mistakes straightaway and not have any misleading biased information on there. By posting both stories online we are also able to report any changes and have up-to-date stories... ... middle of paper ... ...these games are produced to the public. Many people do not like to walk into a store and find a sign hanging advertising a game that contains nudity or violence; yet, this could tell the individual,” if you don’t like what you see here then do not purchase the material.” Advertisements led to a purchase and that can lead to a problem with finances for many. Games are expensive and many people purchase them on an impulse buy. This act could only lead to debt, but to riches for the industry that is proud to take your money. Works Cited Newcomb, A. (2012).

...ek we had the sawmill story, story on the new National Historic Park in Misky Bay, demonstration over foreign high electric rates, the shrimp processor?s strike ? good, solid local stories ? and we had to camp ?em in very hard. No pix. I mean, it would be different if it was real ads.? (Proulx, 292) This confirms Quoyle is beginning to get stronger within as an adult. The Gammy Bird newspaper always had violence in it such as the car wrecks, sexual assaults, thefts etc. There would never be any good news in their newspaper and that is what Quoyle wanted and he said how he felt towards the situation and that was a big step for him because he usually lets others make their guidelines for him. Now the newspaper can have good news in it such as a Lifestyle section for people to enjoy reading and it was all because of Quoyle putting his mind, effort and courage into it.
The workers of the New York Times share a mutual understanding of what to write about and how they should go about doing it. According to Bill Kovach and Tom Rosenstiel, “The quality of the decisions journalists make from day to day is heavily influenced by editors and the culture of the newsroom” (243). Journalists find the facts but each of the editors and culture ...
...ers need no substantial ideologies and beliefs to run a country. As long as they create a “performance”, they can be trusted. In addition to being glamorous, a newscaster’s job is to simply report, free of all emotional ties from the story. If a reporter were to show any signs of terror or inflict a concerned tone of voice, the viewer would be quite disconcerted. “Viewers, after all, are partners with the newscasters in the “Now…This” culture, and they expect the newscaster to play out his or her role as a character who is marginally serious but who stays well clear of authentic understanding” (104). If story is in fact, grave, the audience will not perceive it that way because of the constant commercials and discontinuities throughout the program. Unlike a book that maintains a consistent tone and continuity of content, this is not the expectation of television.
There is a tiny widow of opportunity that the press has in these situations to report the facts, before the overwhelming
Most games today that children play depict some type of violence. However, parents neglect that the games have warnings for violence, language, and even nudity. In my own personal experience, kids will ask for the most trending games at the time and parents will buy the game to satisfy the needs and wants of the children.
“On Tuesday, November 2, while the rest of the country was voting, the Supreme Court of the United States heard oral arguments in Schwarzenegger v. EMA, the landmark case in which the state of California is petitioning for the re-instatement of a California law banning the sale of deviant or morbid violent video games to minors” (Macris). This case is a current example of the opponents of video games trying to prove video games are a bad influence on children and teenagers. Violent video game opponents have always tried to disprove the positive effects of video games. They also have been known to make up and mislead with tales of terrible side effects. This essay will prove to the reader that many of these various statements against video games and their creators are false. Contrary to opposition arguments, video games actually present benefits to gamers by reducing stress, providing entertainment, and helping to develop motivation that could not otherwise be achieved through conventional means.
The chief argument why video games are harmful according to the media: violence. These games apparently brainwash children into thinking that violence is okay and influencing them to go out and shoot their neighbors and puppies. But they are a falsely accused party. First of all we must consider this: video games are rated similarly to movies. These ratings are supposed to protect the kids. K for kid friendly, T for teen, M for mature and AO for adult just to name a few. Many video game stores, such as GameStop, forbid employees from selling M and AO rated games to people under seventeen and eighteen respectively. There are also sub-ratings. Some are as bad as "Blood and Gore" which means depictions of blood or the mutilation of body parts. There are many ratings to protect kids. They do work sometimes, but the ratings that are supposed to keep these violent games away from kids do not always work. The ratings prevent kids from buying the games themselves. The parents just buy the games for them. Many times the parents don't know what they are buying for their kids. The kids’ older brothers or sisters may just buy the games for them because they don't care what they see. If there is any uncertai...

Video games are a rapidly growing industry. There are nearly two games sold for every household in America each year (Anders 271). The vast majority of these are sold to adults, but there is no national law that prohibits minors from buying violent video games. A few states have legislation pending that will prevent this, but the fact is that minors do have access to violent video games. There is a voluntary rating system implemented by the ESRB, where games are rated based on their content. The games that are rated Mature are not supposed to be sold to anyone under seventeen and Adults Only titles, but “some retailers do not impose such limitations” (Anders 271). The bottom line is that minors do have access to these violent games.
Video games have been a growing industry for about 30 years and has never been bigger. As a whole, the industry made around $66 billion last year, and is expected to make even more this coming year. Because of this growth, gamers have sought better graphics, better stories, and even more violence. Developers have satisfied this want with more M rated games that include heavier violence, stronger language, sexual themes, and intense blood and gore. Past acts and laws have been put in place to try and eliminate violence in video games. These laws have stiffled the industry's freedom of expression and caus...
First video games are not harmful to the public quite the contrary actually. Many video games encourage social behavior and team work whether that is the two player cooperative shooter game that two brothers play together working as a team inspiring positive feelings overriding the negative ones as stated in the study coauthored by David Ewoldsen. Or a family on game night all playing a game together and having a great time and bonding together because of the experience. And many games today don’t stop there at just play together and have fun. Many games promote teamwork skills through puzzles which can be solved together, or enemies that the players must work together to defeat. These positive social effects are not limited to one’s family but extend into online play, where one can converse and enjoy his time with others, creating entire
The four dimensions of journalism, as mentioned by Don Heider, Maxwell McCombs, and Paula M. Poindexter in What The Public Expects Of Local News: Views On Public And Traditional Journalism, include good neighbor, watchdog, unbiased and accurate, and fast. (Heider, McCombs, Poindexter 952) With that said, traditional journalism strongly fulfills those attributes as opposed to public journalism. Much is being discovered when the public, also known as the consumers and recipients of the news, share their views on journalistic practices. One might suggest that traditional journalism has, in due course, come to an end.
Several years ago, technology and child’s play were not such as extremely developed as today. Thousands of teenagers have video game as their primary form of entertainment at home. The disagreement about violent video games is because they focus on several subjects such as violence scenes, pornographic content, racism and other resources. For many years, researchers have been debating if video games can cause dependence or not. However, an expert, Jack Flanagan believes video games have a really negative effect on a person’s life and even for children. Jack states that video game addiction exists, and can have the same effects as drugs and alcohol (Netzley 36-37). This shows that video game addiction can be like other addictions
Video games are not considered as a serious addiction amongst teenagers and adults, often being compared to severe cases of addiction, such as drug abuse or alcohol abuse that may result in the appearance of a decrease in the severity of the addiction. However, video game addiction is a serious matter and has unhealthy consequences for an individual 's life and their health; spending too much time playing video games can take a great toll on one 's physical and mental well-being. Continuing unhealthy patterns of video game activity for prolonged periods of time can result in mental health issues, physical health problems, and a decline in a social life.
As the time passes, technology is expanding and developing many creative ideas. Unlike in the past, nowadays we have computers, TVs, internet, and many inventions that have bad and good effects on us. Children used to interact with society by hanging out and playing sports with each other, but now we can see a big percentage of children who play video games for many hours daily. Addiction controls the lives of people, there is addiction to drugs, cigarettes, alcohol or gambling, and there are some forms of addiction associated with modern life, such as the Internet and video games. Most people think that video games are harmful and a waste of time.
