My Final Paper

Okay so to be completely honest I am a complete nerd because I actually really enjoyed writing my final paper lol. I wrote my paper on the television show The Walking Dead (which is obviously my favorite show EVER lol). I did an analysis on it and it helped me notice a lot of things about the show that I probably would have never before even taken notice too such as the set and music and camera angles being used. I also analyzed the content of the show even more than I would have before. It also gave me an excuse to recap on all 4 seasons on Netflix...So thank you for that Professor Britos :) hahahah

AWKWARD...Our Guest Speaker

So this weeks blog suggestion asked us to ta ke a pic of the guest, now write something about his/her appearance....Awkward.. I didn't take a picture :( lol
But anyways this guest speaker was totally awesome He was so funny and I was not expecting him to be so humorous and down to earth considering how high up of a job he has with the news company here in Hawaii. I learned a lot from him though and I definitely enjoyed his talks and all of the advice that he had to offer our class. He was a nice guy and hopefully I get the pleasure of talking to him again.

Analysis of Sports Commentators

I actually really enjoyed this analysis because I am really into watching sports. I liked how Gitlin touched on commentating done on Jackie Robinson as well. While reading this I just kept thinking of the Dodgers current sports commentator Vin Scully who has been commentating for the Dodgers for such a long time and is the pride and joy of LA. But it was interesting that he even did an analysis on sports commentating. He is definitely accurate though, because if you don't have a commentator that can hype of the crowd watching from home, then you may as well not have a commentator at all.

My Favorite Crime Drama... That's EASY

My personal guilty pleasure is Criminal Minds. I have probably watched every episode ever of this show. It's so intense and I always try and figure out who the person that committed the crime was before they even reveal it. Sometimes however the show isn't too realistic but whatever I don't mind it at all. I think the criminal economy is scary in reality though. There are some people in the world that are completely ruthless and that thought alone scares me.

Newton Minow’s Speech

To be honest, I think that Newton Minow's speech isn't too relevant anymore. Today, when things are broadcasted nothing really gets too censored like it would have it it were back in Newton Minow's time. It seems like the media gets away with a lot now, and maybe for the rerun something that was inappropriate may get cut out. But there are so many things that sometimes I even find inappropriate to be shown or said on cable television without being blanked out. I think that Minow delivered a great speech though, because I personally don't think that media really has to be that uptight.

BIGGEST BASEBALL FAN EVER

What am I fan of?  That's so easy. BASEBALL. I am the biggest baseball fan ever, it's almost creepy. My favorite team is the Los Angeles Dodgers. Back home I go to almost every home game so it killed me this season when I couldn't be there to attend, however I did stream every game online on my phone and laptop! lol I have always been a huge baseball fan, I guess it sort of just runs in my family because we are all baseball fans lol.

Early Electronic Media

So am I the only one that still has my first cell phone? Crazy and funny to look back at that piece of crap that I used to love so much! haha But that was no more than 5 years ago, crazy how mew technology develops that fast huh? I have to hand it to all these inventors and innovators because they are developing new technology faster than we can get our hands on it. I can only imagine what the new cell phones laptops and tablets will look like when I have children of my own. I always think "I don't know how they can possibly make this any better" everytime a new phone comes out. I can not wait to see what the future holds for our constantly developing technology!
