WEEK 10: AHA MoMENTS

WEEK 10: AHA MoMENTS

The first AHA moment in this class is bueno's micheal jackson impression. It was crazy, he really dances like him. And to top it all off, he does live shows.

The second AHA moment was The pot luck in the class. Since i have been in college we never had a pot luck.

The Third AHA moment was the fact the Cecilia Deck, are beloved proffessor made boring topics, fun and exciting. For that, i am thankful.

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.
