Flashback Friday on the courier journal on 10-8-14

Hey it’s Friday! You know what that means on my blog? Well if you are new to my blog it means Flashback Friday!

An over view on the courier journal from 10-8-14:
  • ·         They talked mainly about national news
  • ·         They had the most stories in politics and government
  • ·         They didn't have as many stories as the other sources seemed to have.

A positive about this day in the courier journal would be: That they made sure that the topics were more things that matter more than things don’t affect the people that read it. This can be a positive because it means that they are reading things that can have an impact on their day or week and not things that have an impact on the people in the New York.

A negative about this day is that it was mainly national news and sometimes this can be a bad thing because people want to know what is happening the day they read the paper in their city or state. If they wanted to read mainly about the nation then they can watch a new channel that talks only about national news.

Here is a link that shows you that they talk about local things (check negative for the day for more information on why I picked this : http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2014/10/08/easy-ways-go-green-yard-waste/16905707/


Thanks for joining me in a flashback Friday.

Throwback Thursday on the courier journal on 10-10-14

Hey it is Thursday! You know what that means? It means Throwback Thursday!

An overview from the courier journal from 10-10-14 would be that day they talked about mainly local stories about crime and politics and government. On that day they hardly talked about celebrity fluff and social issues and human interest and business and economy.  Here is something good about the courier journal they divided up how much they talk about. They don’t always have a set amount of stories on this and that they seem to try to make it even in what they talk about. Also this day with their headlines they talked about Ebola, so for 2 classes in a row it seems like that they make Ebola their main topic.

Here a link to the online courier journal where you can see the Ebola headline: http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2014/10/10/st-soldiers-gear-fight-ebola-outbreak/17003605/


Thanks for joining me for a Throwback Thursday.

Way Back Wednesday on the Courier Journal on 10-13-14

It's Wednesday! And you know what that means? Way Back Wednesday! It may just be about yesterday but it is still in the past.

An overview from the courier journal from yesterday would be that for the most part is local story that would fit in to the social issues, human interest, and education. They don’t talk about crime or accidents.  But the stories they talk about  business and economy.  Now the online version is around the same. Also from knowing what the other sources of news have as headlines that the courier journal that they talk about things that the others might not even mention. For example yesterday they talked about Ebola and the rest talked about the hit and run that happened. Also that the courier journal didn't talk about international news yesterday.Also that the top news for them online is mainly entertainment. It should be more of the election and news updates on the hit and run suspect. 
Here is a link to the courier journal and here this is one of the top stories they had: http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2014/10/14/deadbeat-derided-mixing-reality-tv-court/17267367/

That's the update for today on the courier journal. Comeback later for a Throwback Thursday or maybe a Flashback Friday.
