A New Birth for the First Born

Communication is forever evolving in to the modern lives that we live now. i totally agree with age comes value. Newspapers can be compared to fine wine. The older the wine the more expensive the price becomes, very similar to historic wrtiings of articles in newpapers. A valuable new paper might br one that revealed the death of Martin Luther King or the announcment of THe first black president of AMerica. True enough evrything thats manually written has a internet website, but thers nothing like sitting in a comfort zone browsing throught a newspaper or magazine. Nice article though.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog. I like your choice of wording. Its not the typical restate the question or answer the question with the question. You took a different approach than some would do and you made this a very interesting blog. This is definitely something worthy of being read or put in a magazine. Now on another note, I also agree that print and newspapers are not dying. Yes, the older something gets the better it is. Newspapers and print aren't going anywhere. I don't think they ever will especially as long as we have people that still enjoy them. And like Mrs. Flippin-Wynn said there is nothing like having a book, newspaper or magazine in front of you. I like that idea better than anything else. I would rather take the actual book...the actual text in my face then to have to read it on the internet.
ReplyDeleteHello Whitney, I enjoyed reading your blog. It captured my attention from beginning to end; I love the metaphor “Black don’t crack,” in reference to newspaper and print isn't dead. The internet give newspaper the opportunity to stay up to date on the latest event. For the readers its convenient to go to the internet and get the latest news with no cost to them. In my blog I also believe newspaper is not dying but making an transformation. Look forward in reading your future blogs and keep up with the great work.
ReplyDeleteI love newspaper cookies. Excellent. Ms Robinson. However, the new media in some instances has become a boom for writing skills everywhere. While students discuss and deliberate, they are also learning to argue, and establish their critical thinking skills with materials and content they believe have some relevance to their daily lives. It is up to the various disciplines to make sure that as technology changes, that the fundamentals are still taught and that students still get the basics.
ReplyDeleteSo, we can use the Kindle, blog our mornings away, and write that online essay, write a poignant letter to that special someone, create a memo for work, newsletter for your sorority and make up a lease application, and you have the choice to use whatever technolgoy you want, because you have been trained on the fundamentals and you won't be left behind no matter what they ask you to do. We can embrace the change without being absorbed by it. I'm just saying.
Please remember that your blogs have to be at least 350 words and your responses have to be 100 or 15) words to receive credit. If they are not a minimum of those requirements, you will not receive credit
ReplyDeleteFirst, I must start off by saying that the metaphor you used about John Campbell, Benjamin Harris, John Russwurm, and Samuel Cornish whipped up into the rocky texture of the yellow journalism style of William Hearst, baked by Benjamin Day and sold for a newspaper cookie was very clever I loved it. Second, I agree whole-heartedly with your entire blog newspapers are not dying they are simply taking on a different form; there is a word for that EVOLUTION everything has to evolve sooner or later to accommodate a new generation and a new lifestyle. I heard change was good, is this any different?
