In Response to "What's New(s)?" Movies Post:

I loved Maggie's response to the movie blog, talking about how it is a social event. The movies are cool because they're social events. The movies don't make it a social event. I thought it was a very interesting way of putting it. I didn't really dig deeper into the social aspect of the movies.

In Response to "The New Piper Times" Radio Post:

Piper first started out by sharing that KDKA was the oldest radio and that it still exists today. That was a cool fact, but then she decides to dig deeper and actually look into KDKA! She decides to go and listen to KDKA broadcasts and talks about what she learned from the experience and whether or not it met her expectations. I love that she found something from a lecture that interested her enough for her to go above and beyond and actually experience it. I'm extremely impressed.

In Response to "The New Piper Times" Television Post:
I absolutely loved Piper's response to television! I was also thinking about how advertisements for movies would say they were featured in technicolor. It made me think of when Shirley Temple came out in color and you could get the DVD pack with both the color and black and white versions. I also never knew that Wizard Of Oz was the first movie to ever be in color! That is too cool! Thank you Piper!

In Response To "The New Piper Times" Courier Journal Critique 2:

I loved Piper's critique! She gave great examples of pointless journalism. She made it easy to understand that some news is only meant for specific audiences, but is publicized as if it was meant for everyone. She also made good points that if you are going to reach a specific audience you should use details and really show them why it concerns them and why it is important. Go check it out!

Second Response to TV Lecture:

My next response to the TV lecture also builds of the fact that we spend 7 hours on average watching TV every day. We learned that television promotes kids to spend more time indoors rather than playing outside. This causes a major health problems in our society. If more people are spending the majority of time indoors watching TV, they are spending less outside getting vitamin C and staying active. Inactivity is a major case of obesity. Television is a distraction from what is best for our health.

First Response To TV Lecture:

I found this lecture very interesting. The thing I found most astounding was the fact that it has ben proven average humans in the US spend 7 hours a day watching TV! That is a lot!I love TV, but that is such a negative effect it has on humans. I don't want to speak for everyone, but I know that I have so much on my plate and no time to sit around and watch 7 hours worth of TV. Even if I do watch TV, there is always something productive I should be doing with my time instead. TV is used as a major procrastination tool. Kids waste time watching TV when they should be doing homework. It is a huge distraction

In Response to WLKY's News Website:
I was looking for dirt on WLKY for my media critique, when I came to a conclusion that the majority of their stories are about recent murders. I was going to put that in my essay, but then I realized that isn't a media critique. I realized that it isn't bad thing because people should be aware of these types of things. All of these people who have lost their lives should be recognized. It also made me think about how scary and sad it is that murders have been so common. Currently, of 10-26-25, the website has 7 murder/shooting news stories on their front page. That is extremely serious. Also one of the articles talks about how 68 people in KY have been murdered so far in 2015. Why can't people just get along?
