Television Reporters and The Art of Telling a Story

The way Walter Kronkite handled the broadcast of the JFK assassination spoke to the time period in which it fell under. Although to us it seems like a joke, the way the reporters were fumbling with the telephone, and seemed unprepared and unprofessional, but technology has come a long way for NBC today, and it was important to learn from. Although NBC's reporters did not do a picture perfect job with the broadcast, it was still apparent they did the best they could with the circumstances at hand.

Response to waking life video

I found this video to be very interesting. Language is a commonality that helps us to work together with others, but consciousness only allows for us to understand a small percent of the reality happening around us. We cannot fully express ourselves if we don't understand ourselves well enough to articulate it to people around us. Therefore, one cannot claim to understand another person through language alone, since we are far more complex than we can ever explain. I think it proves that everyone creates their own realities based on their experiences, and perceptions. Sometimes it goes deeper than we think.

Reaction to Child labor in America photo journalism

These photographs, although still pictures, screams loud and clear the message the author is trying to convey.
