One last update from 10-30-14

This is my finally blog on these kinds of things. I hope that everyone who read them enjoyed them and don't be afraid to leave a comment on what you thought on these types of blog entries. This update is from 10-30-14. It is as always the courier journal.

The good things was that it had a equal amount of the types of stories and one kind wasn't over powering the others. The last overall good thing on the courier journal is the amount of stories they do. I feel like this is the best news types that my class follows because of the amount of stories and the different types they do. i do understand that the others are T.V. and that they are more updated and they have less time. But still if I had to choice it would be the courier journal.

The bad thing about this day's paper was the low amount of international stories yes ther is an equal amount but there still could be more international I feel.

Throwback Tuesday on the Courier Journal 10-28-14

As a lot of you all would I know I follow the the news. Well every now and then I think want to update people on what the news type I follow is doing well and/or bad.

The good things was that it has different stories as a headline then the others. A few of the types of news have the same as the others and the online one might be different. But for the main part it has similar stories.

The bad thing was that: They had a lot of celebrity fluff and crime all together. I understand that people want to learn about that but maybe health and politics considering when they printed this the election was coming up soon.

A link to show that they used a different yet still important headline would be: http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2014/10/27/msd-workers-threaten-strile/18030527/  This was one of the headlines of the day and it was just as important about the story of the police chase.

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. 

Happiness

I looked at how many people had looked at me blog today. I was shocked to see a 102 there. I was like i hope i get at least 20.  Then there was a part to see where the people are from. It wasn't just America like I was thinking. There are 2 other countries there-Germany and Venezuela! My friend Cassie saw it and thought I put something on one of my social media to get these views. I was like no I don't tell people about my blog.
This was a kind of thank you for reading my blog. I really like to know that people read these and isn't just school!

Way back Wednesday:

It is Wednesday that means way back Wednesday on my blog. If you read my blog yesterday then you would know that I planned on talking about the printing press.  I'm not going to completely explain this like I did for the others. I'm going to mix it up! I will stick to what I think is the most important about the news press. I think that most important part was the literacy. This means people get the gift of being able to read and write. You are reading this yes? Well you have the gift of literacy. I am assuming that you went to school and learned and you parents knew. Meaning that your parents and other adults have already learned. This gift became available partly because of the metal printing press. Before this only the wealthy could read and understand what things like the laws said. Now it seems like everyone can read. If you think that the gift of literacy is not the important thing that came from the printing press, then comment and tell me! I am always open to feedback.
