This document summarizes a research project comparing news coverage of the US fiscal cliff issue in the Wall Street Journal and the Sunday Times. The researcher analyzed 12 articles from the two newspapers and found they both discussed the negative economic impact, while the Sunday Times focused more on the serious situations the US faced and the Wall Street Journal focused more on how the US was preparing for the fiscal cliff. The researcher believes the Wall Street Journal articles were more valuable as they concerned finding solutions rather than just worrying about the problems.
Gold snapped a four-week winning streak last week, closing below $1,800. Investors are now awaiting the key US consumer price index (CPI) data on Tuesday for clues on the Federal Reserve's tapering plans. Technical indicators show gold has turned neutral to bearish in the near-term, with support at $1,790 and resistance at $1,800/05. While last week's performance was poor, sentiment polls still see gold rebounding next week and maintaining its bullish bias in the monthly and quarterly outlook.
This document discusses best practices for writing news stories and summarizes an editor's process. It notes that headlines, photos, and topics catch readers' attention. The editor's process involves checking content, accuracy and style, choosing a story format, adding links and resources, including photos and captions, integrating multimedia, and writing headlines and previews before reviewing. Headlines should be short with abstracts and can also be longer for in-depth pieces. Examples show different story types from basic to in-depth, how-to, lists, and those using multimedia.
The document discusses macro editing and provides guidelines for editing news stories at a high level. It defines macro editing as assessing whether stories are worth running by considering factors like leads, organization, flow, unanswered questions, accuracy, and ethics. It also discusses determining a story's importance based on audience and available space. Hard news is described as timely, containing conflicts, and answering who, what, where, when, why and how, while soft news is less time-sensitive.

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.

The document discusses the role of mass media in politics. It explains that modern political success depends on controlling the media image. Politicians use media to communicate their messages to the public and control the flow of information. The media acts as a gatekeeper that sets the political agenda, influences public opinion, and monitors politicians. However, media reporting is also a business influenced by profits, ownership, and biases that can shape what stories are covered and how they are presented.
This document provides instructions for completing a project. It recommends choosing a project option, estimating the time commitment, determining necessary research, and breaking the project into manageable sections. It lists five potential project choices: writing a news story, profile, op-ed, sports story, or reflection. It also provides details for creating an online multimedia package or research paper. The document stresses developing a timeline, prioritizing tasks, practicing self-discipline, creating to-do lists, and setting a daily schedule to stay organized while completing the project.

In just the first month of our COM 107 class this Spring, a number of major events are scheduled to take place: the Grammy awards, Iowa caucuses, New Hampshire primaries, and the 50th Super Bowl. These are opportunities we ought not ignore. We can use them to examine how new and old media

legacy, digital, and social
—
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.
Structure and working of a print newsroom publication housesushant pathak
The document discusses the key components and departments of a newsroom. It notes that a newsroom is where journalists work to gather and publish news in newspapers, magazines, radio, TV or online.

In today’s online news environment, the story never ends. And now there are more stories than ever before. So how do you ensure your news gets the attention it deserves? In this presentation, you'll learn about the reality of today’s newsrooms; how to build relationships and target your news effectively; the need for quality multimedia assets, and incorporating continuous measurement to adjust your strategy for success.
This document discusses the structure and sections of newspapers. It describes the front page as containing the title, publication information, and main stories.

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.

Crisis! Zombie Apocalyse: Planning a Live Event Simulation for MCO StudentsTexas Wesleyan University
This document outlines the Teachapalooza VI Show and Share crisis simulation exercise for journalism and public relations students. The purpose was to give students hands-on experience covering and responding to a crisis. Journalism students practiced real-time reporting and distinguishing facts from rumors. Public relations students implemented a crisis plan, disseminated information, and worked with the media. Students created news coverage and crisis communication websites and podcasts which were reviewed by professionals. The event required extensive preparation but provided a fun, engaging learning experience for participants.
This document summarizes research on Spanish-language media usage today. It finds that Hispanics lead in social media usage, sharing content more often. Current research looks at social media usage at Spanish-language newspapers compared to their English-language counterparts. Preliminary findings show Spanish-language media receives fewer resources, negatively impacting social media usage, though staff at both see social media as important. Barriers between English and Spanish content are breaking down. The presentation discusses these findings with media professionals and takes questions.
This presentation at the Poynter Institute's Teachapalooza V shows how I use reading assignments coupled with social media in two different classes, Feature Writing and Survey of Public Relations, to expose students to good writing and some of the basic concepts all mass communication professionals should know.
Social media usage drives traditional media usage at newspapers throughout the nation. But is that different for Spanish-language newspapers? Just how integrated are the social media sites for Spanish-language newspapers in the United States. This presentation at the Eastern Regional Conference for the National Association of Hispanic and Latino Studies explores this question.
You use social media to catch up with friends, but you also need to be using LinkedIn, Tweetdeck and Hootsuite to improve your reporting and reach your audience. This presentation will teach you the basics.
This document outlines an workshop on taking feature writing and turning it into multimedia content. It discusses having workshop participants develop a feature story idea in groups for the Texas Intercollegiate Press Association conference. The winning group would receive stickers. It then talks about how to expand on the story ideas by including photos, graphics, and other multimedia elements to illustrate the stories. The document provides examples of how a feature writing class was previously taught focusing only on written work, but now incorporates multimedia elements like creating slideshows and social media plans to promote stories online. It encourages thinking about how to expand simple information gathering and illustrations for written features into more robust digital content and production.

This document discusses how to write effectively across different media and social media platforms. It outlines several key principles for good writing: writing concisely using precise language; focusing the writing; including important details while keeping it brief; using an active voice; maintaining consistency; organizing information in an orderly manner; and viewing writing as an iterative process of drafting, revising, and editing. The overall message is that these principles of good writing are necessary for success when writing on Twitter and other social media.
