Convergence journalism weekly blog 4

Hi everyone this is James. I 'm about to do my weekly blog post for class. I will put a link to the article I found in this post. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/26/politics/us-military-response-puerto-rico-hurricane-maria/index.html


I think the headline of the story does in fact get your attention. Also, the lead paragraph answers what is going on, and it answers who, and what the story is about. Another thing I thought the reporter did well was the fact that the lead paragraph gives you information you need to know to understand the story. I also think the body paragraph  was able to explain what is going on well.


I do however, think the reporter could have done a few things better.   I personally thought the ending was somewhat abrupt. I also do't think it was necessary to write the names of the military units in bolded font type. Another thing I noticed was that the story was some what short.


I will make sure I keep the format consistent throughout my stories. I will also be certain to include information that is required to understand the story and make sure the ending does not seem abrupt. I have collaborated with my class to help get a few stories done as well as to get some of our equipment fixed.

    Hi everyone this is James, and I'm about to give my feedback on an article I found online. I will put a link to the article in this post. http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/20/americas/hurricane-maria-caribbean-islands/index.html

   I  thought the reporter formatted the headline well, the language hat was used gets your attention. It also gives a brief summary of some information you need to know. The lead paragraph  has information  you need to know and it also answers who was affected and where this happened. I thought the body paragraph was structured well, it supports the lead paragraph and gives you a few quotes.


I do however, think the ending was somewhat abrupt, and the lead para graph is mostly made up of quotes. Also, it doesn't really answer how many people were affected by the hurricane.  Another thing I noticed was the fact that the article does not give a very god explanation of how this could affect people who are reeding the article.

 I will make sure I explain how the stories I write affect people who reed them. I will also check to . be certain that I . answer the . who, what, when, where, why, and how questions. Also I'll check to . see if the ending sounds abrupt.

I collaborated this week with my class to help get the assembly set up. I also have been working with some one in my class to learn how to use some of the equipment.

Hi every one this is James. I'm about to give you my feedback about a news story. I found that has effected a lot of people already. http://money.cnn.com/2017/09/08/technology/equifax-hack-qa/index.html?iid=EL

Some things the reporter did well were the fact that the head line was written  well not every word was capitalized and it also gives a brief summary about what happened. Another thing the reporter did well was the fact that they listed who, what, where and, when questions and answers, along with the fact that the lead paragraph gets your attention as it should.

Some things I think the reporter could have done better are the fact that this article was relatively short and I wasn't sure about the list format of this article. However, it dit make it easier to find some of my information. Also, the article did not have very much content.


I will use what I have learned from .his article by making sure I have enough content, along with putting my information where it should be located. I will also configure my articles so that they will not appear like a massive list. I will . also make sure to get all of my information on the article.

Hi every one this is James. I am about to write my first weekly blog post for Convergence Journalism.

The article I found is on CNN.com, I have put a link to the article bellow.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/09/06/us/hurricane-irma-puerto-rico-florida/index.html 

some things the reporter did well are , for one thing the head line of the story. does give a very. brief. summary. of the article and does get your attention. also., the head line was configured properly. another thing I noticed was the lead paragraph does answer the what,where, when, and why and also is able to get your attention.

Some things I think the reporters could have done better are, some of the information was repetitive. Such as the fact that the article mentions where evacuations are taking place multiple times. Also, the body. paragraphs seemed some what long .

some things I. will use in my reporting are, the configuration of the headline will be a good thing to review. Also, I will. be sure. to list what is going on, who this effects, where this is happening, and why this is happening. I will also be sure to use the length of the lead paragraph.
