Hum 176 Week 9

PART ONE As a local anesthetic television Director, my main focus is on the local word of honor and the issues that affect the community in which I live. I would ingest to make the determination of the commonaltys for three days my lead news subject field and leave the celebrity death to the bigger networks. My first anteriority is to report news that affects the citizens of the community that I religious service, even with the prospect of bigger ratings I would feel an obligation to my audience to report issues that ar more close related to them.I would fall in an intense investigation on the money issues that has cause the city council to start looking at ways to save money. I would manoeuver a reporter to talk to each council person to obtain each development into the current expenditures that the city has invoked. There would be a conk out of the initial story set up on our local news website, which would include a blog box to obtain audiences feedback and comments . Prior to the city council meeting, I would pee-pee run a pit of the stories that the investigating reporters had found and announced the time and place of the city councils meeting.This way those that be pursuited in attending provide be well informed and those that did not know bequeath know see the ability to participate. One reporter and crew would be assigned to spread out onsite coverage of the meeting, which could report breaking news on the vote and how it talent affect the community. One reporter will man the website natural endowment updated information on the voting and answering any questions that may arise from bloggers. at one time the vote has been tallied, we connect with the on-scene reporter with the results.Now, the reporter on-scene will also be responsible for the follow-up story. Getting information from the city council persons on wherefore they voted the way they did, what comments do the elected officials have in response to how they voted and w hy, and ar there alternative ways to save money other than closing the parks? Some key questions that imply to be asked are how will this affect the community, are there more budgets cuts coming to save money, and what are the long term effects that the community might need to be aware of?These questions play an distinguished role for the audience and how their lives will be affected for the months to come. Giving residents the ability to post their comments, dear(p) or bad, on the website is also extremely important, the feedback can be used to gauge the communitys reaction to what was reported and it can serve as a forum for states voices being perceive by the city council. The follow up is just as important as how it all began, following other stories that are related to the parks closing and money saving ideas by the city council need to be investigated.Any important shut downs or closures must have priority over no community based issues. We must focus on the goal of serv ing our community and understand that, yes, there are ratings to be made airing the popular stories, but if one issue slips by our attention the community will turn on our station. PART ii For years our society has transformed from one era to another. These changes were made because of our subtletys enquire of better products it also was changed with the creation of advance technology.Inventions much(prenominal) as the radio, television, electricity, transportation, and computers have shaped our culture into what it is today. When culture changes, so do the things our cultures like much(prenominal) as movies, television programs, and games. These changes are seen as an evolution for the better. Our culture has vie a major role in movies and television shows along the years. warfare of the Worlds, which was originally broadcasted on radio in 1938 showed a time when the reports of flying saucers and aliens were on everyones mind.Orson Welles created it as an entertainment broadc ast, which caused a panic across the country. Later, it was made into a movie and depicted the events that happened when people thought that the broadcast was true. Movies such as Men in Black, Signs, predator and Aliens have vie on the Orson Welles saga and shows our cultures interest in life on other planets, which still persists today. Era movies such as Platoon, Apocalypse Now, Thin Red Line, and We Were Soldiers Once show our ethnic involvement in many wars and conflicts.Television shows followed the same type of evolution. Hogans Heroes, X-Files, Brady Bunch, The Waltons, and the nonuple reality shows that air today all reflect the things that people have going on in their lives and how they can relate to the programs they watch. You take shows from 20 years ago and compare them to the shows today you will find a vast difference in language, violence, sexually explicit content and gore. This is imputable to the change in our culture which has directed the television shows and movies to evolve to where they are today.Gaming has really evolved of the last ten years, originally created as entertainment for children, it has in truth captivated all ages. Starting with simple graphics and controls, as our culture evolved, so too did the demand for better graphics, controls and more games. The first games systems I can remember was Atari and know we have Xbox, PS3 and Wii to name the top few. spillage from table tennis to interactive games which can be controlled by a persons body shows how our cultures advancements have played a role in the bid industry.Due to the War in Iraq, games such as Modern Warfare and Call of Duty have emerged to be some of the top games released as of late. Along with the encouragement of a whole society Wii Fit and the Xbox Kinect have hit the spot in giving all ages the ability to play and exercise at the same time. The Wii gaming system is even being used in medical give-and-take to help people learn to walk again. Many pe ople would label that games have become more violent and gruesome, thus having a negatively charged effect on the youth of today. They blame gaming systems for encouraging sloth and obesity.On the other side, studies have shown that gaming systems have enhanced childrens hand-eye coordination, circumstantial thinking skills and problem solving skills. Our culture creates a demand on better quality and new technology. Movies, television and the gaming industry will be ever changing in the hopes of creating something that our culture wants. Since the people after part producing and creating these media platforms are from our culture, it is safe to say that our culture and these media platforms will forever be linked and intertwined for years to come.
