Knowing that my posts to my blog are open for anyone to view and comment on does make a difference depending on my audience and topic.
It does make me more thoughtful on how I write. You want your audience to understand it and get all the main points.
Had this been a more personal blog it would have made a difference. In a personal blog it tends to be more your opinion and some things left out because the people that you know understand what you are writing about, unlike our assignment for the newspapers where you had to keep in mind the audience and topic.
I liked the feedback. It was helpful. It let me see what I may have missed or did not have worded right. It makes you more concious to trying to make sure it's right and lets you know that it is being read.
Electronic media has an immediate feedback process. It's a matter of writing the feedback and hitting send and it's there to view. Traditional is a little lengthy process. You have to write your comments then mail them to writer, which can take up to 3 days depending on your location. If they are going to print your feedback it takes even more time to get it to print.
I've enjoyed this class and the assignments, it was very interesting. I will walk away with more knowledge and paying more attention to what I write on the web knowing that it can be immediately seen and/or commented on. I've also learned there is a big difference in personal blogging and media blogging. I liked that we did our assignments on a blog rather than blackboard. For one blackboard doesn't work right half of the time and second it makes it easier to comment to each other and share ideas and so forth. In some cases forums such as blackboard doesn't suit the purpose such as this class. Thank you Brad!

Sound Portrait Reflection
Besides the complaint I had before that the narrator talked to fast, hearing Geneva Tisdale tell her story made it easier to understand how she was feeling and helped to see her perspective. It made it more personal than just reading text.
Julius Howell - Civil War General
Julius Howell spoke in front of congress at the age of 101 about the morning that Abraham Lincoln died and how as a boy of 16 and a half he joined the Calvery out of Richmond, Va.
He began his speech with how Abraham Lincoln was made president and there was alot of excitement that there were talks of slavery being ended. He described how in his mind he felt like it was a curse on the country that they had slavery. When war was declared, at the age of 16 and a half he joined the Confederate Army, Calvery Company.
The marched out of Richmond, Va in the southeastern direction. They ran into a few squirmishes and a small battle. The Federals, under General Sheridan, overtook them and he became a Captain. 20,000 of them were captured and sent to the Union Prison Camp.
On the morning of April 15, 1865 he awoke early and went to look outside. He saw that all the flags were at half mast. He called to the others and said "Boys, there must be some big Yankee dead, I wonder who it could be". Not long after the Sargent sounded the bugle and they asked him what the half flag meant. The Sargent replied, "President Lincoln was shot last night".
That ended his speech. You could hear how his tone changed during the speech. While he was talking about Lincoln becoming president and joining the war up till his capture he seemed rather excited to be telling that tale. When he told about Lincoln getting shot you could hear the sadness in his voice.
If I could create my own sound portrait it would probably be about my own father. I've heard his stories about the Vietnam war and his part in it. He was an aircraft mechanic and had to go on missions to salvage parts from aircraft that was down so that the enemy could not use them. He also was on a ship next to the Floristal that had caught fire. He had to board that ship and try to rescue people. It's a horrific story entailing shipmates literally melting into the decks because of the fire and how it heated up the metal decks so hot.
I believe it's possible to create my own sound portrait and I probably would if my father was willing to talk about any of it. It's hard to get him to talk about it, it's all timing.

Regional Preferences
When we did the assignment for the newspaper front pages it was interesting to see the difference of what was important news to larger cities compared to smaller cities and also the different regions they were in.
The larger cities put more of a focus in their main headlines to national topics. The smaller cities were more focused on local news in thier own areas.
Each region has what they consider thier own importance that is newsworthy.
When we write for the web we have to keep in mind who our audience is and make sure to add details that would not otherwise know. For example, you couldn't just say "Piqua's City Manager" you would have to say "City Manager, Frederick E. Enderle" or the audience would not know exactly who that person is if they are not in the region.
You could apply this on the job by creating newsletters for employees. Most work places are broken up into different departments, which means you would have to be a bit more discriptive with the information, such as names and departments. This way anyone that is not from that department has a better understanding of what is being written about and who it is written about. Each department has thier own idea of what would be considered important and worthy of a headline and would be important to that department. The main headline of the document would appeal to all employees as it would most likely have overall company information, stats, events, changes and things of that nature.

Woman gets 12 years for attempting to keep baby
Mike Wiser
Maria Salinas was involved in a plot to keep and raise the newborn baby of a mentally impaired
woman as her own. The woman was impregnated while she was living with or being cared for by Salinas. Salinas kept the woman from the baby by having her stay at the homes of acquaintences while she raised the child. Salinas pleaded guilty, in September. Her sentence was three years shy of the statutory limit for attempted aggravated kidnapping. Judge Rosemary Collins sentenced her to 12 years in prison on Monday saying she felt she needed to send a message to people who prey on the disadvantaged and mentally handicapped. "There are many good people who help people and religious people who do good things to help people," Collins said, "Maria Salinas was in it for Maria Salinas."

Rally protests use of police
Robert Rogers, Staff Writer
A dozen protesters hand-delivered a letter addressed to Mexico's President Vincente Fox by marching into the office of the Mexican government's chief representative in San Bernadino. They also aired thier concerns for about 15 minutes to Carlos Giralt-Cabrales, the Mexican government's diplomatic representative to the Inland Empire. Armando Navarro, a critic of the Fox administration, called the protest. "What happens in Mexico...will ultimately impact us over here," Navarro said. He said the federal response to demonstrations for higher wages for teachers "rapidly escalated the unrest" in Mexico. The turnout on Monday was low but energy was not. Some protesters held up signs that were streaked with red and depicting bloody clashes between police and protesters in the past. They drew comparisons between the current situation and the 1968 Tlatelolco Massacre. Navarro said "The police did not use any kind of arms, pistols or guns, only defensive elements, like shields. The federal government only acted to restore order and security to the people of the city." Later, Navarro said he was not convinced.

Fees falling at two-year colleges
Selicia Kennedy-Ross, Staff Writer
In order to make community college more affordable for low-income students, fees for state-funded community colleges will be lowered from $26 to $20 per unit by state lawmakers beginning Jan.1, 2007. "Several years of rising costs have created a barrier for some of our prospective students," California Community Colleges Chancellor Marshall Drummond said in a written statement. The fee reduction is expected to help turn that around.

Illegal dumping trashes Idaho public land
The Bureau of Land Management monitors illegal dumping sites. Areas with rapid population growth provide good examples of the problem. Many people dump illegally because it is a free and easy means to get rid of trash. Much of the trash is toxic, including asbestos and antifreeze. The Bureau of Land Management in Idaho spends $50,000 to $75,000 in tax dollars each year to clear the illegal dumping sites.
Boise schools redrawing boundaries
The School District is redrawing the boundaries of 24 schools. The changes will go into effect in the fall of 2008. The plan is to ease overcrowding in some schools and fill classrooms in others.

Heart Rendering Choice
32-year-old Troy Shaw is in intensive care. His enlarged heart is too weak to sufficiently pump blood through his body. It’s a genetic defect. His only hope is a heart transplant, but they are not performed in the state. Nevada Medicaid, his insurance provider, doesn’t pay for heart transplants in adults. His only choice is to move to California where they have MediCal which would cover the transplant, but they don’t have the money to move and are not guaranteed to get admitted to UCLA or receive a new heart.
Cigarette giant began years ago to fight smoking bans
In the mid-1900’s while anti-smoking advocates were attempting to lobby the Legislature to pass smoking restrictions in Nevada and the federal government was weighing a national ban on smoking in the workplace, Philip Morris was planting seeds that would help business owners such as casinos and bars fend off future smoking bans. Philip Morris funded a 1996 study saying that the state would lose jobs. Nevada was considered by Philip Morris to be their greatest success in the country.

Gang Communication Goes Wall To Wall
Police expect 2006 to be a record year for graffiti.
Detectives say street gangs use graffiti to establish an identity, challenge rivals, bolster egos, memorialize dead members, define territorial boundaries and celebrate violence. The Des Moines police are working to develop booklets for residents to educate them and their neighborhood groups on how to spot and interpret gang graffiti.
PAC: Money not linked to restoring TouchPlay
Owners of the TouchPlay lottery machines have vowed to make the gambling game an issue in the Nov. 7 election. They have raised about $77,000 since July from their political action committee that they formed, named Revenues for Main Street Iowa. They have contributed about $54,000 primarily to Democratic legislative candidates.

Woolworth's Waitress
It was important from my perspective to hear the story in Geneva Tisdales own words because it gave the story more character. Listening to the story you could hear her happiness at remembering some moments, sadness at others and laughter at what amused her.
The transcript differed from the audio considerably. When I was listening to the audio David Isay it seemed like he was rushing, monotone and I couldn’t find punctuation, as in pauses or endings, in his voice. The transcript did not come across like that. The transcript actually came more across as a story to me that I could actually take in and not feel rushed, unlike the audio where I felt like I had missed things and needed to listen over again.
David Isay had interviewed Geneva Tisdale on the day the Woolworth’s lunch counter had closed. Geneva had worked at Woolworth’s for over 4 decades. She worked there when four young black men sat down and asked to be served in 1960. They were refused service and protests followed. After several months Woolworth’s changed their policy and chose Geneva and a few other co-workers, who were also African-Americans, to eat lunch at the counter and if they didn’t want their pictures taken before the press came to hurry back into their work clothes. It was apparant she was happy to be the first, and a memory she treasures. After the changes and after all the years she worked there, Geneva still felt that had she been white she would have made more money working there. She made five fifty an hour and it never changed during her employment. She had always hoped after retirement to come back and be a customer, instead of an employee, with her grandchildren, but that day was the last day the store would be open.
I think the most important details of the story is how long she worked there and how her pay never changed and how she felt about it. It must have also made her feel important to be among the first that were able to eat at the counter when Woolworth’s changed their policy.
It was very interesting to hear and then see the difference in David Isay’s documentary. If I would have had a choice on whether to listen to the audio or not, I wouldn’t have listened. I had trouble with how rushed it seemed and no verbal punctuation. I had trouble following it.

David Sedaris ~Ashes~
I thought I had posted this before, but I must have done something wrong.
I enjoyed reading the essay by David. When I was reading the essay I thought he came across as sarcastic and his sense of humor at times was dry. It seemed his whole family was the same way by the way he described and quoted them. I found the essay humorous by his choices of words and quotes.
I could not find this particular essay online, so I googled and listened to a few others. After listening to his voice, he seemed to sound a bit like Woody Allan, it only changed my impression a little. He doesn't seem quite as sarcastic as on text, but still had a dry sense of humor. He came across as a little geeky also, but I found him to be more homorous on audio.
There's not a whole lot of difference between his essay and audio. I think alot of that has to do with how he chose to write his essay. Text is harder to pick up voice inflections and sometimes attitude. I think his essay was very well written and he did well to keep it close to his own personality.

My car is falling apart
A few months ago my friend Casey borrowed my car to run some errands. Shortly after she left she called me and informed that while she was driving down the road the rear-view mirror and dome light cover fell off and scared her. It's not the first time the mirror fell off and the dome cover was already broken from my kids. We laughed about it scaring her and she let me know on her way home she would pick up some glue to fix it.
Another incident happened to me recently on my way to Edison. After leaving a light I about jumped out of my skin when my whole steering wheel, horn and all, fell into my lap. The wires were still attached to the steering wheel, so I had no choice but to try to put it back on. I'm sure at the next stop light I may have ticked a few people off when I was trying to get the cover back on and my horn kept blowing when I would try to pop it into place. Needless to say, everytime I left a stoplight it fell back off and I had to try to put it back on at every stop.
Once I left my windows rolled down while I was at Edison it cooled off the interior of my car enough that the cover stayed on.
