Work Assignments: Reflecting and Planning

Podcasting: Eagle Talk

Ciara (my partner) and I have been assigned to set up a podcast for our school. We had named this podcast Eagle Talk (reasoning for "eagle" is because its our school mascot), through the semester of podcasting non-stop we have in my opinion mastered the basics on podcasting. Although I can't see myself becoming a professional podcaster or whatever there actually called, I know now that it takes a lot more to just sit down and play around with sounds and edits. I have learned that you need a soft voice and lots of enthusiasm or it gets a little boring. Knowing what I know now about podcasting I know to be more prepared with information and with my scripts and everything, now that I'm sure I did my best podcasting with my partner, It's time to part ways with Eagle Talk and I can only hope that next years podcasters will learn from there experiences as well.





PS, Mr. Carter I don't know if I did this assignment right!    

Hard News VS. Soft News

Hard News:

This is hard news because it involves politics, which people all around no matter what age is involved in. People will read news like this to know whats going in America even though there not from there. Everyone is involved in this particular news because a person like Trump being voted President of the United States is a big deal. Therefore this is a wide spread news story, reaching many of people out there with internet to read.

Soft News:

This news about the famous Canadian singer Justin Bieber is really soft news because its only reaching a younger generation because his fan base is mostly younger people. However it does bring a lot of soccer fan groups to the reading too, considering he's with the Barcelona team. 

Blurred Lines:

This news article is classified as blurred lines because it about animals, and everybody loves animals, however also its funny and who doesn't love a good laugh. Its not hard news because its not really important or serious news and its not soft news because lots more people would click on this news article than a Justin Bieber article.
