Discussion: What Is News?
As you watch a local news program or read a newspaper, you consume the report of recent events created by professional—and sometimes amateur—writers, editors, and reporters. Regardless of their status, these journalists take time to consider the details of a story and how to present it to you, the news consumer. These details can have a powerful effect on how you perceive local, national, and world events. In this Discussion, you will have an opportunity to become a more savvy news consumer by choosing a news story, determining how it was created, and tracking its “newsworthiness” from the day the story “breaks” through several days afterward.
To prepare for this Discussion:
· Choose a discussion thread based on the topics available this week.
· Each thread will present a different topic for a news story. For the topic stated in your chosen thread, you will find a news story that has the necessary elements for it to be considered news and determine whether the news story will persist or fade away.
· Review Chapter 13 in the Course Text, The Dynamics of Mass Communication: Media in Transition.
· Based on the five elements in the reading, reflect upon what is considered to be “news” and what is not. How does the definition of news change?
· Consider the multiple modes of mass communication used to deliver news stories. How do you consume news? How does your choice of mode impact how you view local and world events?
For this Discussion, choose one thread from the choices listed this week. Each thread is limited to a maximum number of students based on class size. A thread will close if the limit is reached. If a thread is closed to new posters, select from the open threads. You will post both your initial post and your response post in the same thread.
By Day 3
Thread 1: International Relations
· Post a 1- to 2-paragraph explanation of why you believe that your chosen international relations news story is or is not considered “news.” Could this news story be the headline or lead story for today’s evening news? What aspects of the story’s message make you believe it would be or wouldn’t be the lead story for the evening news, and why?
Refer to 2 specific examples from your course reading or your chosen news story and record in your assignment information about each source, including author, year, page number, and publication title.
Thread 2: Economics
· Post a 1- to 2-paragraph explanation of why you believe that your chosen economics news story is or is not considered “news.” Could this news story be the headline or lead story for today’s evening news?

shape a single event differently.
4
Your assignment is to select ONE of these four events and examine how various media outlets cover it the day after. You will need to plan ahead and start thinking about your paper assignment now so that you can pay attention to media coverage leading up to the event, as the lead-up will likely inform the introductory paragraph of your paper.
On the day of your event you should plan to watch the television coverage and follow social media buzz during it. This will inform your analysis. Then you should monitor the coverage of, and information flow about, that event as it appears in a variety of media and platforms, on the day after. Clearly you cannot monitor everything in all media being published and broadcast, even about a single event. So to simplify your analysis, you should choose one outlet from each of the following five types:
a general interest (legacy) news source such as The New York Times, CNN, Wall Street Journal, or NPR
an industry specific news source such as Sports Illustrated for the Super Bowl, Politico for politics, or Entertainment Tonight for the Grammys
an industry owned source such as the Twitter feed of the NFL, Grammys, or Republican National Convention
an international news source (anything produced outside the US)
a niche media outlet that is created for and by a marginalized group (LGBTQ, Hispanic,
Black, women’s media)
Your sample MUST include examples of all five types listed above so that you can compare and contrast how different media outlets, with different audiences and missions, frame stories differently. Again, you should plan ahead by selecting your media outlets even before your event happens.
For example, if you choose the Iowa caucuses, you might choose to monitor New York Times
coverage; Politico coverage; the RNC’s website, the Guardian, and theroot.com. Or you might choose, instead, the coverage on the Chicago Tribune’s website, politifact.com, the DNC’s
Twitter feed, Le Monde, and latinomagazine.com. If you are covering the Grammys you might choose the LA Times, Variety, @theGRAMMYs on Twitter, the BBC, msmagazine.com.
That should provide you with a diversified sample of media content about which to make some judgments. If you have any question about the sample of media you have chosen, see us and clear the sample.
Once you have all your data in front of you, analyze it. Think about it. Figure out what lessons you can learn from it. In writing the paper, below are examples of the kinds of questions you might choose to answer. These are not exclusive.

Doing PR in the US (French Version)
Public relations differs from advertising in that PR can be less expensive but also less controlled. Effective PR involves building professional networks through traditional and non-traditional media outreach as well as by engaging customers, potential customers and even competitors to promote positive word-of-mouth. PR in the US market requires attending conferences early to secure speaking opportunities, applying early and often for awards to gain recognition, and pursuing out-of-the-box tactics to capture media attention.

They should gather at least 9 sources that include announcements from the organization, media coverage about the organization's response, and public reaction. Sources should be analyzed using both a chronological framework and a scholarly framework chosen from options provided. The purpose is to write a white paper explaining how the communication affected the organization and how effectively it communicated about the pandemic crisis.
Writing for Public Relations
The document provides information about writing for public relations. It discusses what public relations practitioners do, which includes communicating information from organizations to target audiences in a clear manner.

AssignmentCoverage by of the news is not carried out by any mono.docx
Assignment
Coverage by of the news is not carried out by any monolithic organization that gets to decide what is, and is not, the correct way to report the news. Today perhaps more than ever, the editorial or opinion piece of the news is more apparent and widespread than it had been in the decades before cable news, 24-hour-news cycles, and the rise of the Internet as a news source. This does not necessarily mean that the news has become any less impartial, simply that news organizations are more conscious of markets and demographics, the people they are trying to attract, than ever before.
For your assignment this week, find two articles that address the same issue produced by two different news sources (this cannot be the same AP story published by different sources). In 1-2 pages, provide a summary of what message each writer is trying to get across, and provide a brief compare and contrast analysis of the two pieces. Explain which piece you feel is more effective and why. Be sure to include links for each article in your assignment.
Requirements
Some questions to consider
Is it clear? When you read an article, is it clear what is the thesis or topic is being reported? Does the title of the article accurately reflect the story or opinion reported?
How accurate is the reporting? Are the facts being reported accurate, or is obviously incorrect information present? Fact checking is less and less prevalent. With news blogs this happens for a variety of reasons, including limited or no staff, intentional slanting of the report, and amateurish of the bloggers reporting skills. This happens in professional and large news agencies less frequently as well, though more often this is because of understaffing or a desire to break a big story before other agencies rather than intentional deception.
Is the reporting and language precise? How well written is the article? Is the right language being used in the right places? How specific are the facts and events being reported? Are the details being provided, or is everything reported in broad generalities?
How relevant are the facts and ideas being used to backup the report? Are the people interviewed knowledgeable and/or close to the situation, or do they seem random or unnecessarily distant? Do the statistics offered directly relate to the situation, or do they seem distant or off the point?
How in-depth does the report go into the situation? Are they searching for all of the relevant details and comments, or are they satisfied to take the local authority's word for it?
Are outside sources or opinions considered? Is the report offered one-sided, or has it taken into consideration several perspectives to ensure the whole story is being told?
Is the report logically constructed? Does the conclusion follow from the facts and evidence presented? Is the thesis supported by the supporting evidence and conclusion?

Assignment
Coverage by of the news is not carried out by any monolithic organization that gets to decide what is, and is not, the correct way to report the news. Today perhaps more than ever, the editorial or opinion piece of the news is more apparent and widespread than it had been in the decades before cable news, 24-hour-news cycles, and the rise of the Internet as a news source. This does not necessarily mean that the news has become any less impartial, simply that news organizations are more conscious of markets and demographics, the people they are trying to attract, than ever before.
For your assignment this week, find two articles that address the same issue produced by two different news sources (this cannot be the same AP story published by different sources). In 1-2 pages, provide a summary of what message each writer is trying to get across, and provide a brief compare and contrast analysis of the two pieces. Explain which piece you feel is more effective and why. Be sure to include links for each article in your assignment.
Requirements
Some questions to consider
Is it clear? When you read an article, is it clear what is the thesis or topic is being reported? Does the title of the article accurately reflect the story or opinion reported?
How accurate is the reporting? Are the facts being reported accurate, or is obviously incorrect information present? Fact checking is less and less prevalent. With news blogs this happens for a variety of reasons, including limited or no staff, intentional slanting of the report, and amateurish of the bloggers reporting skills. This happens in professional and large news agencies less frequently as well, though more often this is because of understaffing or a desire to break a big story before other agencies rather than intentional deception.
Is the reporting and language precise? How well written is the article? Is the right language being used in the right places? How specific are the facts and events being reported? Are the details being provided, or is everything reported in broad generalities?
How relevant are the facts and ideas being used to backup the report? Are the people interviewed knowledgeable and/or close to the situation, or do they seem random or unnecessarily distant? Do the statistics offered directly relate to the situation, or do they seem distant or off the point?
How in-depth does the report go into the situation? Are they searching for all of the relevant details and comments, or are they satisfied to take the local authority's word for it?
Are outside sources or opinions considered? Is the report offered one-sided, or has it taken into consideration several perspectives to ensure the whole story is being told?
Is the report logically constructed? Does the conclusion follow from the facts and evidence presented? Is the thesis supported by the supporting evidence and conclusion?

Standupsandvoicing
Standups are any on-camera presence by a reporter that establishes credibility and builds a relationship with viewers. They help audiences make sense of complicated topics by demonstrating or substituting for a lack of visuals. Effective standups are planned as an integral part of telling the story. Reporters should know where their standup fits in the narrative, what the audience already knows, and what soundbites will be used before and after. When voicing, reporters should mentally prepare by thinking they are sharing what they learned in a conversational tone. Physically preparing involves relaxing the neck and jaw, taking deep breaths, and warming up vocal muscles.

Choosingsoundbites
The document provides tips for selecting effective soundbites for interviews. It recommends that soundbites be clear, authentic, subjective, and passionate. Soundbites should convey a complete thought and keep the audience's attention, while running between 5-15 seconds. Interviewers should ask the right questions to elicit noteworthy and distinctive quotes, and avoid long or factually inaccurate responses. The biggest mistakes are letting soundbites run too long, choosing predictable bites that offer nothing new, or having responses that seem rehearsed rather than authentic.
Writingtovideo
Here are 3 potential soundbites from the list:
"Football is life for us." - This succinctly captures the central role that football plays for this family.
"We won a big game in overtime. He made some throws and I’m saying hey, those look pretty good for somebody in the sixth or seventh grade” - This provides insight into Joe Burrow's early talent and family support at a young age.
"If you can’t follow directions when you’re tired during the summer, you’re not going to be very good against Auburn in the fourth quarter when you’re tired and there’s a 100thousand screaming fans in your ear." - This bite emphasizes the work ethic
