Media & Journalism - October 2007

I have two small,one page newspapers. The only problem is, I have no place to sell them, and nobody to read them. I do a lot of drawing, printing, coping, and writing, but how do I get other people read them? I'm still young, but I can sell if I had a proper place. I also don't have a job, but I do have a scanner, copier, computer, and lots of paper.Please help me. I'm
desprate. Please!!!!!

A CNN journalist heard about a very old Jewish man in Jerusalem who had been going to the Western Wall to pray, twice a day, every day, for a long, long time. That’d make a good story, she decided.

So she drove to the wall and, sure enough, there was the elderly gent, praying away. She watched him for an hour and, as he turned to leave, approached him for an interview.

“Rebecca Smith, CNN,” she said. “Sir, how long have you been coming to the Western Wall to pray?”

“Sixty years.”

“Sixty years! Amazing! What do you pray for?”

“I pray for peace between Christians, Jews and Muslims. I pray for all hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship.”

“So how do you feel after doing this for so long?”

“Like I’m talking to a bloody wall!”

I'm a freelancer for a local paper. My latest piece, an interview, was published with many factual errors, which I think she could have avoided if she had checked with me for clarification. Instead, the piece just went straight to print. Should I tell her about those errors, with a request for her to check with me next time? (This is not the first time, but this has been the worst.) Also, what should I tell my interviewee? Should I apologize for the errors and tell her it was my editor's fault?

I keep finding very interesting news articles, and breaking news on local newspaper online that undoubtedly would be of interest to people around the US, and have not been able ever to use a LINK, since I don't know how to place them.

The people who call in and talk as if they were really a part of the listening audience, but in reality they are working with the producers of the radio talk show and have a set of lines in which to read. Do you suspect certain well-known talk shows of doing this? If so, why are these shows using call-in "stooges" in their programs? Do you believe that there is a connection to propaganda agencies in order to change the way that people feel about particular "issues"? This seems to go beyond mere pandering or working to obtain higher ratings; instead, it appears to be the diliberate attempt to change the minds of people who are under the assumption that what they are hearing is real and not contrived.

One example that I recently read about in the New York Times was the case of Armstrng Wlms., in which allegedly involved the acceptance of over two hundred thousand dollars from a U.S. government organization in order to promote a certain cause.

The tabloids said today that during the interview on ITN last night Kate McCann broke down crying. I watched the interview and she was very emotional but I didn't see her cry and i am not being nasty just fed up with exagerated tabloid stories

Is all of your media sources so gossipy?
My goodness, looking at various newspapers online, they seem to be as gossipy as the old hens at the beauty salon.

No wonder the McCann's are being beaten so badly.

We have newspapers like that here in the states (we call them tabloids) too but they are easily identifiable and people who do read them will never admit to it.

I've learned one thing from Maddy's story, never visit Portugal!
The laws are just crazy. Not being able to speak publically about accusations made about you! How insane!

I am glad I live in American where I can speak my mind and defend myself.

Is there no end to this administration's fear mongering? I think there certainly is a possibility that some of the fires were started by arsonists, but al-Qaida? I think not! There are plenty of other nuts around.

Several years ago the supreme court ruled that The Boy Scouts of America were well within their rights to block homosexuals from becoming leaders. Part of their oath is to keep themselves morally straight and they back it up.
Personally I think that in a day and age when pedophilia is rampant that this policy is added protection.
Now the city of Philadelphia is jumping on the punishment band wagon and jeking their support of this wonderful program.

What a crock of bull. I can tell you from having known many people with illnesses that this is a CROCK.

Sure analyse the MOST terminal patients and arrive at this biased conclusion and then end it on the note, but we could be wrong.

I think this this is irresponsible, cruel, insensitive and immoral to write an article like this.

I just watched my father pull through a hopeless condition that everyone said he wasn't going to pull through, but I knew better. Why? Because of his will. Even though unconscious he heard every word I said. I would ask he squeeze my hand and he always did. So I told her every day, every hour he was going to pull through and you know what he DID.

So don't let these morons who know nothing but BIASED facts convince you of their garbage here.

Talk about reporting at it's worst

I personally think one should evacuate. But there are some people that really are not afraid of dying and would rather stay and try to safe their house from catching on fire.

Are the police allowed to forcefully remove these people from the area?

In this news video the fire chief is saying that in certain cases it is not legal for them to force people to leave their homes:
