Are Reporters Crossing the Line?

It seems that as soon as an incident happens, reporters instantly swoop in for an interview. Just recently, a shooting happened at a community college in Roseburg, Oregon. Almost instantly, people began to tweet about it, leading reporters to ask those people for interviews. by doing this, the reporters sparked heated feedback and criticism. Some said “Absolute human vultures”, while others said “Sickening”.

The Author was trying to convey how media is labeling Reporters as vultures. The author provides an example of this happening. ‘The exchange started when a young woman who goes by the Twitter handle @KP_Kayla Marie began live tweeting… Kayla Marie was soon swamped by requests for interviews. “Can you DM [direct message] when you find shelter,” tweeted NBC’s Emmanuelle Saliba to Kayla’s account (the tweet has been deleted). “I’m a reporter for NBC News.”’ The author does a great job wording his points, but he didn’t provide a solution to solve the problem. He just kind of stated the facts. I think the author was generally trying to convey the idea that reporters are being called vultures needlessly.

This evidence definitely showed what the author was trying to say. I understood what the main points were, and I agree with what the author was saying.

End Of Year Senior Reflection

e-Communication has greatly impacted my life, even though I don’t plan on entering the AV Communication field. I am going to school to study music education, and I plan to take the leadership skill I gained in this program and applying it to my own classroom. I feel that I am more technically advanced than a lot of other kids my age. For example, I made my grad party invites myself, after coaching my mom through the photography process and photoshopping my own pictures. I have learned to collaborate with people I don’t particularly like, and I feel this skill will help me in my future workplace. As a teacher, I will need to be able to communicate with my students and my coworkers, and my job as AD greatly prepared me for that. Managing a set taught me management skills by allowing me to know when to adjust deadlines and when to stick to them. Leadership went from being a quality I never had to one of my greatest values, and I’m so grateful to e-Comm for teaching me all of this. Le...

My Chair

Hey Guys!!! Long time no see hahaha ok I’m done. In SketchUp today, I made a chair! Ya. Not too impressive, but I love it. I used a variety of tools to edit the legs of the chair, such as the Ruler, Rectangle tool, and the Follow Me tool. It was kinda hard! I put differents masks on the pieces, and I struggled getting the pattern to line up, so I improvised with dark gray. Also, I put a little design on the side of the chair. I love it!
