News & Events - December 2006

I am interested in newspapers and magazines for intelligent people. I enjoy reading about international affairs, economic analyses, technological developments, trends, food and travel. I want neutral analysis, not just opinions from the left and right (is there such a thing as objectivity in our world?). I am also NOT interested in reading any gossip and speculation: what other famous and infamous people smoke, kiss, drink and do, don't concern me. I want the facts as far as it is possible, although I know that 'facts' are not as they appear. What do you recommend, anywhere in the world?

Will George Bush be impeached?

As a citizen of San Francisco, my representative, Nancy Pelosi, who won with 80% of the vote, will become the new speaker of the house, and there is overwhelming demand from San Franciscans for her to impeach Bush (more than enough evidence supporting impeachment), and since she is our elected official and basically abides by the will of the people, do you think Bush will be impeached? My magic 8- ball says "All Signs Point To Yes."

LDS/Mormonism and the Media?

Why do you think that the media specifically will point out that someone is LDS or Mormon when reporting a story about them? For a few examples, the Smart family who's little girl was kidnapped. Thousands are kids are kidnapped everyday from people of various religions. Why this family the headlines were Mormon family girl is kidnapped. Another example is Dr. Phil had a family on his show he was helping that was LDS and on every commercial about them or every segment that came on, it was This Mormon family...... Well he's had lots of families on his show of other religions I'm sure. Why didn't they make a commercial like that for them, This Jewish family..... or This Baptist family.....?? Just wanted to hear some thoughts on the subject. Thanks!! :)

Confused with a few newspaper terms for a school project?

Hey guys. So, my Media Studies teacher got really mad at the class and decided to stop teaching us this unit (I'm not joking :P) So she assigned this project and no one knows what to do since she won't teach us, but basically no one in the class cares cause almost no one does their work.

But I do :P

So, the project says we write four newspaper articles:

1) Profile - with sensationilistic lead and headline
2) Editorial Colum - with slanted headline
3) Hard News - with accurate headline and common lead
4) Feature - with sensationilistic lead and headline

So, of those terms, I know what a sensationilistic lead and common lead are.

But what's a profile article? Hard News? Feature? I'm not sure exactly what types of news articles those are...so any info would help a lot...cause without knowing what types of articles those are I have noo idea how to write them :P

So yes, any info/definitions of those terms would help a lot. Thanks!
