This document discusses the past, present, and future of broadcast journalism. In the past, broadcast news coverage was shaped by major events like the assassination of JFK and Watergate hearings, which established news as a "soap opera." Currently, TV news focuses on ratings and is driven by speculation due to the demand for immediate information. In the future, technologies like GoPros and drones may decentralize news gathering and change how the public expects coverage by allowing citizen journalists to capture events firsthand.

Milestones tv and history
This document outlines several major historical events that were impactful moments broadcast live on television, shaping public opinion, including Nixon's 1952 Checkers speech, the 1960 presidential debates, the 1969 moon landing, the 1973 Watergate hearings, the 1981 assassination attempt on Reagan, and the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. Many of these pivotal events involved Americans witnessing history unfold live on television and receiving immediate news coverage, with some large percentages of the population watching the broadcasts as they occurred. The live broadcasts of these significant historical moments helped television become an integral part of documenting and reporting major news stories and events.

COMM 101 - Chapter #7 (WotW)
The document discusses The War of the Worlds radio broadcast from 1938 that caused panic among some listeners who thought the fictional story of a Martian invasion was real news. It provides historical context for why some listeners were fooled, details what aspects of the broadcast worked to increase believability, and discusses the aftermath including exaggerated newspaper reports of widespread panic and modern examples of media hoaxes.
COMM 101 - Chapter #7 (WotW)
The document discusses Orson Welles' 1938 radio dramatization of The War of the Worlds and the widespread panic it caused among listeners who thought the fictional Martian invasion was real. It analyzes what worked about the broadcast, like its realistic style and lack of disclaimers, and what didn't, like inconsistencies in the timeline. Later studies found the panic was exaggerated in newspapers, who wanted to criticize radio. Similar media hoaxes still occur today to critique how easily people can be manipulated online or on TV. While a War of the Worlds scale hoax may not happen again, smaller deceptions still influence society through different media channels.

Then And Now Kmh
On October 30, 1938, Orson Welles directed a radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells that caused widespread panic among listeners who thought the fictional story of a Martian invasion was real. The broadcast simulated news bulletins and was presented without commercial breaks. While most listeners only heard part of the hour-long broadcast, newspapers exaggerated the extent of the public reaction. In contrast, modern audiences approach information with more suspicion and cynicism due to the abundance of information available, and a hypothetical leak about aliens today would likely spread rapidly online through blogs, social networks, and microblogs before the story could be dispelled as false.

Orson Welles' 1938 radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds caused widespread panic when many listeners mistook it for a real news broadcast and believed Martians had actually invaded New Jersey. The hoax worked because radio was a new technology, people were not used to being deceived by media, and the timing coincided with increasing international tensions.

WCC-LUTHER COMM 101 Chapter 7-Music and Culture+Reflective Project #3 POWERPO...
This document discusses a documentary film called NY77: The Coolest Year in Hell. The documentary examines the year 1977 in New York City and how music genres like hip hop, punk, and disco reflected and influenced the political and social realities of that time. It used a hosted narration style, with a narrator appearing on camera to conduct interviews. The document suggests the documentary was effective because it showed how these music genres have endured and continue to influence broader culture and society, such as through fashion, advertising, and language. Music acts as both a reflection of culture but can also spark new cultural movements that persist over time.
WCC-COMM 101 Chapter 7-Music and Culture + Reflective Project #3.pptx
This document discusses how music can reflect and influence culture. It focuses on New York City in 1977, when hip hop, punk, and disco emerged and related to the political and social realities of the time. The documentary NY77: The Coolest Year in Hell is analyzed, which examines this relationship between music and culture. The document argues that these genres have had lasting impacts outside of music, such as in fashion, film, language, and advertising. It maintains that studying mass media, including music, can provide insight into cultural evolution and future trends.
LUTHER-WCC COMM 101 chapter #5-MAGAZINES (part #2)
This document discusses magazine media representation and reality. It notes that media, including magazines, construct reality around topics like body image standards of beauty. This is seen in the unretouched photos of Serena Williams in Harper's Bazaar, showing her athletic physique and imperfections. The document also provides background on magazines as a mass media form, how they have specialized over time, and current issues around declining circulation numbers but high readership across platforms.
WCC COMM 101 chapter 5-MAGAZINES (part #1)-LUTHER
This document discusses mass media and its influence on culture and reality. It begins by noting the power of media images, using magazine images as an example to show how mass media produces, maintains, repairs, and transforms reality while also shaping culture. Graphics in magazines and other media can play a large role in creating reality. The document then discusses a documentary called Embrace that examines issues like body image dissatisfaction that are in part influenced by mass media portrayals. Students are assigned a reflective project to evaluate their own dissatisfaction with how a particular mass media message represents certain groups.
Comm 101-Newspapers chapter 4-LUTHER
The document discusses newspapers and yellow journalism. It begins by explaining the origins of penny presses in the 1830s, which made newspapers more accessible to the masses and shifted their focus from elite politics to sensational stories. Yellow journalism then emerged, prioritizing sensationalism, illustrations and cartoons over accuracy. It cites William Randolph Hearst's exploitation of the USS Maine's sinking to push for war with Spain as a prime example. The Daily Show segment satirizes how modern clickbait journalism resembles yellow journalism's prioritization of sensationalism and popularity over truth.
COMM 101 chapter 3-BOOKS (LUTHER)
The document discusses censorship and books. It provides context on early colonists who were largely illiterate and did not view books as important. It describes the 1765 Stamp Act that taxed printed materials, which colonial printers opposed as it limited freedom of expression. By the late 1700s, pamphlets fueled anti-British sentiment leading up to the Revolutionary War. More recently, there has been a dramatic increase in attempts to ban or censor books in schools, primarily targeting books about race, gender, and sexuality. Censorship threatens free speech rights. The document also discusses the trend of aliteracy, where people have the ability to read but choose not to, and how this amounts to a form of self-censor
WCC COMM 101H reflective project #1 recap-LUTHER
The document outlines an assignment for a class project on understanding mass media. Students are instructed to avoid all direct and indirect contact with the 7 main mass media channels for 24 hours. They then report on the media they could not avoid, what they missed, substitute activities, and conclusions about their relationship with mass media. The conclusion suggests that while mass media helps people connect, it can also be overconsuming and impact mental health. Students discover that mass media plays a major role in their lives and society.
WCC COMM 101H research paper-LUTHER
The document provides guidelines for a research paper assignment on how mass media or mass media technology has impacted culture in a significant way. Students must write a 7.5-8 page research paper on a mass media channel or message and how it shaped culture. They should use at least 3 credible sources and MLA formatting. Example topics are provided that analyze the impact of various media like movies, television, books, and the internet on culture.
Comm 101 digital nation reflection-LUTHER
This documentary examines how digital media and media convergence are impacting society in various areas such as education, social relationships, work environments, and the military. It discusses concepts like digital natives, who have grown up with technology, and digital immigrants, who have had to adapt to new digital technologies. While made in 2010, the topics covered are still relevant today, though some of the specific technologies discussed have evolved. The documentary looks at issues like multitasking, internet addiction, the gamification of education, and how digital technologies are changing our concept of reality.
WCC Comm 101-Chapter #9 focus video games (updated) LUTHER
The document discusses how a 2013 UK documentary makes the case that video games have changed the world by impacting society and culture. It highlights how the documentary provides examples of at least 3 games that had significant impacts. It also notes that the number one choice of most impactful game may seem surprising. Additionally, it presents statistics that show video games are played by people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds in the US and that three-quarters of gamers report video games provide mental stimulation and relaxation.
Comm 101 chapter #7 music and culture powerpoint-updated LUTHER
The document discusses a documentary film titled "NY77: The Coolest Year in Hell" about the pivotal year of 1977 in New York City and how the music genres of hip hop, punk, and disco reflected and influenced the political and social realities of that time. It provides context on documentary films, describing NY77 as an observational documentary that uses silent narration. The document discusses the lasting cultural influences of these music genres on areas like fashion, film, television, and language. It emphasizes how studying mass media can provide insight into cultural evolution and trajectories.
COMM 101 chapter 7 power point (hoaxes and WOTW) f21-LUTHER
Media hoaxes are deliberately fabricated falsehoods that are spread through mass media channels. One of the most famous media hoaxes was Orson Welles' 1938 radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds, which convinced some listeners that Martians had actually invaded Earth. The hoax worked because people in 1938 had little access to other information sources and were primed by real war reports to believe an invasion was possible. While hoaxes can cause panic, some artists like Welles have used them to demonstrate how easily the media can manipulate beliefs and perceptions of reality.
Comm 101 chapter #6 (film) - fall '21-LUTHER
The document summarizes the history and evolution of the Hollywood film industry. It discusses how:
1) In the Golden Age of Hollywood, major studios owned all aspects of film production and distribution, but this monopoly system broke down as stars, writers, and directors fought for independence.
2) Television emerged as competition in the 1950s, forcing movies to differentiate themselves by featuring bolder content and themes. Studios also sold films to television and realized home video's potential.
3) Modern blockbuster films rely heavily on franchises, sequels, remakes and merchandise to drive massive profits globally, with production and marketing budgets often over $100 million.
COMM 101 project #1 recap fall '21 LUTHER
The document outlines an assignment for a class project on understanding mass media. Students are instructed to avoid all mass media channels for 24 hours and then report on the media they could not avoid, what they missed, substitute activities, and personal conclusions about their relationship with mass media. Mass media is defined as using technology to deliver the same message to many people at once who typically do not know each other. The assignment asks students to reflect on how mass media both allows bonding with others but can also be used to avoid introspection, and how mass media has become integral to participation in social, work and education life.
WCC COMM 101 Connect check in (chapter #1) + paper LUTHER
The document provides an update on student progress on assignments in their online course. It states that 13 students have completed the reading for Chapter 1 but reminds students they must also complete the accompanying questions. It also says that 8 students have finished the Chapter 1 quiz and notes the policies for late quizzes. The document outlines potential topics for a research paper on how mass media or technology has significantly impacted culture and provides examples of past paper topics. It encourages students to pay attention to examples in the course and everyday life.

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
