Here is Tom's example.

And here is what he had to say about it:
"This blog discusses in detail several different issues regarding the music business that have arose over the past few years. As the music industry continues to change, artists & bands are noticing a shift in revenue streams. In the old days, selling records was the highest source of income. Bands would go on tour to support their records. Now, bands are putting out records to support their tours. Music has become more of a "branding" game. Artists & Bands are surviving off merchandise sales (T shirst, hats, hoodies, posters), ticket sales, & other "trademark" affiliated forms of income. Bands are now giving more insight into their lives and providing their fans with more ways to feel a part of the music. By using social media tools such as twitter, facebook, U stream (similar to skype), and blogs, fans can monitor their favorite artists and bands on a daily basis. In this day and age, it is important to develope strong relationships with fans so that when a band goes on tour, all the fans that are following them on twitter and reading their blog posts will purchase tickets to the show and hopefully a piece of merch as well. Meet and greets are becoming more common to further promote the artist-fan relationship."

Media Example #16
Here is Daniel's media example.
Parents Upset Over School Photo
And here is what he had to say about it:
"This article is about a very peculiar protocol for a student who did not get a consent form signed for a class picture. The picture has sparked outrage among parents and staff, but according to the photographer, he was just following PTA orders. Personally I think the picture is absolutely hilarious and don’t understand the uproar. It’s pretty apparent that there were many alternative routes that probably would have been better received publicly, they could have simply left the child out or just rescheduled the picture. Despite the bad judgment I think people should view this more humorous than as offensive. On a grander scale though, is this article really even newsworthy? I think that the need for round the clock updated news created by the media allows trivial stories to make headlines. Personally I think people and the media need to reevaluate what real news is and if having so many news outlets really such a good thing?"

Media Example #15
Here is Liz's example.
NY Times Vocal Patterns
And this is what she had to say about it:
"I found this to be a very interesting article about vocal trendsetting. New York Times reporter, Douglas Quenqua, has a unique view on the idea of uptalk also know as valley girl speech. (If you are still unclear about what this is just listen to the pod cast.) The view on the article is that young women are vocal trendsetters and that men eventually join in once they realize that a particular trend is not going away.
In my opinion, the most obvious valley girl word is "like" and this article gave me a new look at that word completely. It stated that "In 2011, Dr. Liberman conducted an analysis of nearly 12,000 phone conversations recorded in 2003, and found that while young people tended to use “like” more often than older people, men used it more frequently than women." I was also surprised to hear that the word "like" has made its way to the Webster's Dictionary.
Overall, this was a well written article because the writer tells us what he knows, what he does not know, and what we think we know. I found it to be very interesting and think other people will too."
