Blog 9 Phony Ass Fake Journalists

The movie with Stephen Glass, Shattered Glass, showed not only up and coming journalists why writing fake stories is a poor example of trying to hold your job. but as well as just trying to gain respect about nothing you reported and wrote about was real, simply meaning your a LIAR. This movie proved all the aspects of just that and still managed to be entertaining and interesting provide all aspects of journalism reporting in a Newspaper office when good and bad strike. It seems you worked your entire life trying to get this job and then throw it away by making phony stories up. To me its dumb, no common sense and a lack of excellence after working so hard to get your job.
Mr Stephen Glass. fabricated 27, let me repeat 27 of his 41 or so news articles not only making him look like a goof but the entire post he works at. That worthless act not only lost him his job, his respect and any other chance at getting a writing job but criticizing that news firm and actually thinking if all their news is made up. The goal of journalism, after going to school for it and spending all that money on schooling, is to report a story, a TRUE story without fake ass facts just to get attention. Its your job to get the news, report the news and make it into a fascinating story with legit creditability
Fabrication in the world of journalism is seen as "fake" and not well recognized. Any one with common sense and in the field of journalism, other than the famous Mr Glass would agree to fullest extent of that. Using someone else’s work, creating a "real story" and writing as if it happened is nothing more than trying to impress people, and the lose of your job. I would like to thank the always not respect Stephen Glass for his unworthinesses and dumb actions to show that lying in real life at a real job is no joke and you have to be a hard headed dumb ass who wants attention to do it, aka Mr Glass.

aw yeah something new yea

After the short time spent sitting in the class of EN212 and all the hard work putting in the papers and blogs I've been writing, my knowledge has increased from the first day i walked in class. I would have never learned some of the things I've learned thus far in any of my English classes i have taken. After obtaining much information such as what a nut graph is, how to interview someone, attribution, and the basic elements of a news story, nothing more has gave me more knowledge than a hard news lead and summary lead. In chapter 7, it is the most important part of the chapter because summary leads and hard news leads are the most important part of any story.
After we learn new concepts or idea's we put that information to use in a homework assignment like a simple two column report or the writing and editing project. However, a hardnews lead can be used in any assignment in any class when writing about something because it describes the most important things first before getting into detail and that can be used in any subject and something. One assignment where this was put to good use and help me understand the importance more was writing about the parking situation at FCC. The hard-news lead choses the most important factors first and simple information like who, what, where, when and why. In the story about FCC i had to come up with a simple, catchy, lead that had the most important information in it. Thats where using who, what, where, when and why helped me out in making a strong lead, providing the best and most important information first. Like where, FCC, when, summertime, what, students, tickets and parking crisis.
A hard-news lead let me understand the concept of having something short and informative about the most important information in a story or report of some sort. This idea was the most beneficial to me so far.

Sainz Article

After the Saniz incident, things haven't changed all that much from woman in reporting. Woman sports reporters still interview players on any sports team before and after games. It's how the players react to the reporters draw a scene. Yes Ms. Saniz wasn't dressed in the best outfit, but she had something coming to her. I mean a football team, professional level, full of men who just played have emotions running wild and are going to say as they feel toward the woman reporter, as so did happen. Now from back in the day to present times, yes things have changed. Woman were relied on to write in the womans department/ section of the paper about fashion, setting the table, recipes and such. They were included or had a contribution someway. Now woman are journalists and sports reporters and new broadcasters all over the world they no longer have their small section in the paper, they write or report what their assigned. Woman reporters have more freedom to report on the tasks they choose or assigned now at whatever firm or company they work at, rather than being assigned one small specific area in the paper.

Dan Rather most emhasized idea about journalism

Dan Rather emphasized the state of journalism as a whole, is in a crisis right now and is being over-worked. Crisis was the most said word in the video simply because it is summing up the point of journalism right now with one word. The crisis of journalism as he see's it, is that it is over worked. The internet should not be the only source for information because anyone can post anything. Yes it is the easiest form of getting news now but and that with technology advancing the old media world is transforming / collapsing. There is more of so-called surface reporting right now. He wants to see reporters and news be reported deeper. Get the cream of the crop of a news story not just a quick glimpse. Here's where creative thinking is what would be needed for the future, and keeping independent to diminish quality and qunity. Dan Rather simply saw the world of journalism transform throughout his life. As the world continues to grow, the state of journalism is collapsing and needs help to be fixed with addition of new technology and the future coming.
