Part One.

The role of media in the public is to get the story out there for viewers and to let them know what is happening in the world. Depending on the age group watching news, depends on the stories they will be looking for. Some people prefer to just know about the actual current events. If you go a little younger age groups will be more focus on the celebrity news. I would have to put the celebrity death as the lead story because I know more people will be interested with that. It is important to get the news delivered to the world because without the news no one would know what is going on out in the world. The news is a big part of everyone’s day. Whether it be just watching to listen to storied or to hear the weather or a celebrity death. Everyone turns on the news at some point in their day. Legally when it comes to posting stories and pictures on the web you have to make sure you have the permission to do so or they are 100% yours to own and put.

Just like it isn’t ethical to take a picture of a dead celebrity and post it to the web for everyone to see. Unlike if you were doing the story about the city parks you could take pictures and post them on the sites for viewers to see. Make sure to have permission from City Park to take pictures and put them on the web. Today we have a lot more ways to get news out there then what they had last century. We have radios, Television, internet, Facebook even could be considered one because everyone posts about all the main events going on. The advantage to having all these ways to deliver the new is that more people can find out faster. More people go online to read more into stories or to look them up. Back in the day you wouldn’t have been able to do that, you would have to wait for it to come back on the TV or listen for news on the radio. Disadvantage to this is that people can post from their phones to the internet so someone being a standby in a event could whip out their phone and post it to the web...
