Think about the traditional work and rolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMVz5C38yi0 e of the journalist as you approach this question. Think about the information shared in the PowerPoint about the importance of journalism.

Consider the journalists portrayed in the movie, All the President’s Men, who were real-life journalists in the 1970s. Then consider how the role of journalists have changed, including how social media is creating a form of citizen journalist where everyone with access to a smartphone and the internet can film, post, and circulate stories of interest.

Answer the following in a thoughtful 1-to-2 page response:

• Consider the point from the final scene of All the President’s Men:
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMVz5C38yi0that shows the publisher’s remarks to journalists. What did he mean when he told them so much was “riding” on their story?
• How do journalists affect the role of media in our society?
• What effects, if any, do social media have on the function of journalism?
• Do you consider the emergence of citizen journalists using social media a positive or negative outcome of our modern age?
• How might these changes affect the role of journalists, particularly newspaper journalists, in the reporting of information?

The two articles are interrelated but written in a different literature style. Both discusses the effect of a prior existing traumatic event on children that witnessed the September 11 attacks. However, each article targets different kind of audience The article from “Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine” is a scientific research based on a retrospective cohort study. It targets students studying social sciences, professionals working with children and variety of interested researchers. Therefore, this research is considered a scholarly article. It can be used as a reliable resource for building a perspective on the impact of conjoined exposure to the WTC attacks and to other traumatic events on the behavioral problems of preschool children. This research presented information using proper outline starting with an abstract and finishing with discussions. The authors included figures and tables to further represent data in a clear and accurate manner. Table 1 shows that exposure to high intensity WTC events took place independent of other trauma exposure (Chemtob, Nomura and Abramovitz, 2008). The second article written by Carey is a news paper report published by New York Times that targets readers interested in having a general idea about the latest studies concerning the risk associated with prior trauma exposed on children that witnessed the September 11 attacks. This report focuses on the findings of “The Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine” that shows the negative impact of 9/11 on children that experienced a prior traumatic event (Carey, 2008). This article is less reliable for observing the progress of the research implementation and theory establishment. However, this popular media article gives an overview of the research and insights on the surrounding opinion relating to it. Moreover, Carey expressed her own point of view regarding the research and supported it with additional researches regarding the functioning of the amygdala part of the brain during exposure to a traumatic event.

The manner and format through which data is presented can completely change what the audience takes away from any type of news or informational media. Writers and editors have the power to infuse their opinions into their interpretation of scholarly data sets, compiling fact with opinion in a way that can sensationalize a topic or ‘dumbs it down’ in a way that makes it more interesting to consumers of the media. Examples of this can be found in any contemporary news broadcast, and constantly fills our social media feeds regardless our network of choice. The Word is a powerful tool, and content creators, editors and aggregators need to understand the responsibility that they have to their audience to produce content that is factual, unbiased and true to the spirit of the original source of the data set.

Benedict Carey provides an example of a writer that chose to refrain from sensationalizing a study related to a very sensitive subject, and instead provides an informed summation of a very detailed experiment. His article ‘Study finds prior trauma raised children’s 9/11 risk’ is a great read, although the title of the article still contained elements of the tabloid flair that is now quite common with the New York Times and other major newspapers. The target reader for this particular article is one that can be considered educated, but someone with an academic interest in the topic. The narrative refrains from being overbearing, and the reader doesn’t come away feeling burdened by facts and statistics. My one concern with his interpretation of the results of the study is that he glosses over the fact that traumatic events had an affect on children, regardless whether they had experienced traumatic events in the past. While both Carey’s article and the original study clearly indicate that prior events resulted in a higher likelihood of chronic stress-related symptoms, Carey’s interpretation doesn’t state clearly enough that children without prior trauma were still very effected by 9/11. According to an article detailing another study detailed in the New England Journal of Medicine, thirty-five percent of parents surveyed throughout the course of the study reported that their children had at least one of five stress syndromes following exposure to the terrorist attacks of September 11th. (Schuster et al., 2001) A scholarly paper covering the same study takes a different approach. Rather than relying on their abilities to craft a narrative, the authors of the article chose to present a very wide sampling of data sets relating to the effect that 9/11 had on children that were privy to the event. The reader is provided much of the raw information, but is also provided room to deduce their own interpretation of the data. The group’s summation of the study was very informative, going above and beyond in collecting a sampling of demographic information to include factors that didn’t even have a clear correlation to support the hypothesis of the study. The intended audience for the Chemtob, Nomura and Abramovitz article is a psychology professional or an individual interested in an in-depth analysis of the topic. All three of the contributing authors are veritable experts in the field of psychology, with added expertise in child psychology and stress response in children and infants Both articles describe the same experiment but the intention and perspective of each is very different. It is clear that each of the articles was written with a different target audience in mind, and there is nothing wrong with this. Not every reader of Carey’s article is going to want to know the detailed elements of the experimentation, and very few readers of the Chemtob, Nomura and Abramovitz article would prefer a narrative summation to ‘the real thing’. I am happy to see that a writer from a mainstream news source has the necessary restraint to properly present information on what many still consider to be a sensitive topic in this country, and look forward to taking a closer look at other articles written by Carey on other topics that can command my attention.

For this experiment I chose case study 2. Based on the information, my hypothesis is that during weeks 1 and 3 Jacob will take less time to finish his homework due to the implementation of an incentive, that is early completion of work results in longer play time. On weeks 2 and 4, there will be a longer time to completion because the incentive for work completion is already given. In this experiment, the independent variable is Jacob’s homework, the dependent variable would be the amount of play time awarded to Jacob. When conducting this experiment, the two extraneous variables that would play a factor is the amount of homework Jacob is assigned and Jacob’s mastery of the material. Part II There is a study that I simulated in Stats that helped me lay the foundation for the actual study. The topic of the study is “The Perception of Manhood in Minority Communities and its Effects on the Family Dynamic”�. The mood regarding minorities and manhood is often misunderstood and misrepresented by those who live that reality. I believe that a positive trend in the perception of manhood in minority communities will provide a significant boost in male confidence level (where confidence level is equal to a numerical value) and in some way challenge the legacy definition of manhood. The independent variables are the race and gender of the participants whereas the dependent variables are the individual’s sociocultural definition of manhood and the post interview adjusted confidence level. There are several extraneous variables that could also be dependent variables in this study such as: engagement in an interracial vice intra-racial relationship (assuming that those in interracial relationships definitions would be different from those in intra-racial relationships), educational level (since those with higher educational levels would have a more modern definition of manhood) and positive paternal involvement (assuming negative paternal involvement would affect the definitions of those with positive paternal involvement).

“Karl wants to determine whether adding a gas treatment to his full gas tank really does help increase the number of miles to the gallon his car gets. He suspects it does help but wants to test it to be sure he is getting his money’s worth for the treatment. He decides that for one month, he will track his gas mileage without the treatment. He records his gas mileage for the month. The next month, he adds the treatment each time he fills his tank. He records his gas mileage for the month and compares the mileage of the two months.” In example A, the hypothesis would be the outcome that Karl is attempting to predict in regards to his gas mileage. Since the example tells us Karl suspects adding the gas treatment to his gas tank does benefit his gas mileage, in this case, we could formulate Karl’s hypothesis would look something like this: “Adding a gas treatment to a full tank of gas will increase the number of miles to the gallon the car gets to a clinically or statistically significant degree.” The independent variable, which is the factor that Karl is manipulating in order to test his hypothesis, would be adding the gas treatment to his car’s full gas tank. The dependent variable, the factor that is being tested for dependency on the independent variable, would be the car’s gas mileage, or how many miles it gets to the gallon. A possible extraneous variable would be the temperature outside while driving, as temperature is an extraneous factor that affects gas mileage that also would generally be outside of Karl’s control and independent of the gas treatment’s effects I’ve always been interested in the natural ecological environments that exist around us. However, as we know, recent climate change has affected that plant life rate. An experiment I would like to conduct would be one concerning the rate of plant growth in relation to recent significant climactic change events on planet Earth. My hypothesis would be that places with a more industrialized, more highly concentrated population will see a greater negative effect on plant growth rate in those geographical locations due to higher amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. The independent variable would be concentration of greenhouse gases, and the dependent variable would be plant growth. Extraneous variables would of course be any factor that could possibly affect the plant growth independently of the greenhouse gases, such as fertilizer, soil, light, water, and pest population.

Scenario: In Week 3, you selected a product or service that you believe your organization should invest capital resources to develop the product or service for sale. To speed up the new product investment, you decide to write a memo proposing and advocating for the launch of a new product or service to the company president. Create a memo proposal using the AIDA model in a Microsoft® Word in a minimum of 1,400 words. You will add an introduction and conclusion, and your paper will include the following components: •Convince your audience to invest capital resources to develop the product or service you intend to sell and explain your rationale. See Figure 9.5 – Persuasive Message Using AIDA model. •Gain credibility (for yourself and your request) and (2) to make your readers believe that helping your product/service will indeed benefit the company. Close with a request for some specific action, and make that course of action as easy to follow as possible to maximize the chances of a positive response. •Include secondary research to support your argument, related to your product and/or service. â—¦Explain what you will do in case the selected product or service does not initially sell as much as expected. â—¦Indicate potential digital channels for marketing your product or service. â—¦Consider cross-cultural and multinational implications. Note: Main points from this memo will be included in the Week 5 Persuasive Presentation. The following guidelines will help you effectively format specific memo elements, Business Communication Essentials, 7/e (Pg. 410): •Addressees. When sending a memo to a long list of people, include the notation See distribution list or See below in the position at the top; then list the names at the end of the memo. Arrange this list alphabetically, except when high-ranking officials deserve more prominent placement. You can also address memos to groups of people–All Sales Representatives, Production Group, New Product Team. •Courtesy titles. You need not use courtesy titles anywhere in a memo; first initials and last names, first names, or even initials alone are often sufficient. However, use a courtesy title if you would use one in a face-to-face encounter with the person. •Subject line. The subject line of a memo helps busy colleagues quickly find out what your memo is about, so take care to make it concise and compelling. •Body. Start the body of the memo on the second or third line below the heading. Like the body of a letter, it’s usually single-spaced with blank lines between paragraphs. Indenting paragraphs is optional. Handle lists, important passages, and subheadings as you do in letters. •Writer’s initials. Unlike a letter, a memo doesn’t require a complimentary close or a signature, because your name is already prominent at the top. However, you may initial the memo–either beside the name appearing at the top of the memo or at the bottom of the memo. Format consistent with APA guidelines.
