WEEK 9: Media law

WEEK 9: Media law
The New York Times published an editorial advertisement in 1960 entitled “Heed Their Rising Voices by the Committee to Defend Martin Luther King. The full-page ad detailed abuses suffered by Southern black students at the hands of the police in Montgomery, Ala.
 Even though he was not mentioned by name in the article, L.B. Sullivan, the city commissioner in charge of the police department, sued the Times and four individual black clergyman who were listed as the officers of the Committee to Defend Martin Luther King.
Sullivan demanded a retraction from paper. After not receiving a retraction, Sullivan then sued the newspaper and the four clergymen for defamation in Alabama state court.
The judge instructed the jury that falsity and malice are presumed. The judge also instructed the jury that the newspaper and the individual defendants could be held liable if the jury determined they had published the statements and that the statements were “of and concerning Sullivan.
The jury awarded Sullivan $500,000. After this award was upheld by the Alabama appellate courts,
the defendants appealed to the United States Supreme Court.

Comments: Well, i think he did  deserved that win in the court. He wanted a retraction from the paper and when new ork times did not give what he wanted he sued. The newspaper defamed Alabama state court.Also they reopened it in 2010 but in the supreme court.

WEEK 8: PROPGANDA

WEEK 8: PROPAGANDA  

I found this advertisement on my way to work. This ad uses two propaganda techniques to draw the consumer in to buy this product. In this case, its a coke cola ad. In this ad, has a slogan written in the ad and it says "coke-cola is real". Also it has happy people laughing and having a good time. This shows that if you drink coke-cola you become happy. This technique is called beautiful people.

    My favorite recording of 2010-2011 is a toss up between "written in the stars" by Tinie Temah ft. Eric Turner and "Price Tag" by Jessie J. I like these two songs or recording because they have good meanings and the songs are catchy. I first heard these recordings in the radio on the way to school.

WEEK 3 BOOKS

The three most influential books for me was THE THIEF LORD, HARRY POTTER series, and 1984. Thief lord by Cornelia Funke, this book is influential to me because this is the very first chapter book i read. This book opened my eyes to other books. Harry Potter series, by J.K Rowling,  These books was my second stepping stone to reading because these series was the longest series i ever read. I thought i would never finish. These books were so long And hard to understand words that i almost gave up, But no i never gave up. These books made me realize that reading should be fun. The bigger the book, the more fun you will have with it. My final book is 1984. There is one reason why this book made my list of most influential books. This book had the ugliest cover. At first i did not even want to read it. But in the end i read and i loved it. This book made me relize never judge a book by its cover.

WEEK 1 Media Autobiography

This my first time studying or even thinking about media. I just use it without thinking why and how it got here. The eight types of media is books, magazines, newspapers, recordings, movies, radio, television and internet. I start by talking about books, books are great. They bring your imagination step foward. i read a lot and i have a big collection of books at home. Magazines, magazines are not my prefence. Out of these eight this is my least favirote. The problem with magazines it has way too much adverisment. Newspapers, newspapers is my second least favriote out of these eight media. I dont have time to read the newspaper. it is faster just watching the news. Recordings, well i play in a band. The band is called Portuguese band of San Jose and in this band, every year we record a CD. Also i download a lot of music into my i pod. Out of these eight this is my third favorite. Movies, movies is great. I watch movies every time i have free time. Out of these eight this is my favorite. Radio, radio is the most important media i have. i keeps me from going insane in traffic. Television, i watch it every night before i go to sleep. The problem with television is all the ads. It seems like every minute there is an ad. Internet, internet is important to me. i use it every minute of my life. I never had a job in the media but i use it every time. My major is speech/communications. ill be transfering into San Jose state
