Media Mediations #6

I wanted to find some kind of clip that would talk about some good news story that was going on, but it was hard to find. I would look at the Times and BBC and did find some good ones but A lot for them seemed more like fluff or something that really didn't have any barring on my life. I took a look over at Democracy Now and i saw that they have just released a headline's of the week. When i was watching this news clip i actually had my dad watch it with me, who is a big fan of Fox News. He said i was a very interested in it and is going to look in to and see what it is all about.
Now back to looking in to this clip and see what Amy Goodman was trying to convey in this. The First tool i used was the Brain.They do a good job of getting both Neocortex and Limbic involved. They show video clips that i have never seen that make you think what is the regular news guys hiding. Then i feel like production technique is a good thing to go to next. In this clip they us A lot of grabs from other news channels to show how they are covering it and to add to Democracy Now story. I like this because it can show the spots that some of these other news casts may miss. This i think ties in to their value message very well. I think they want to deliver unbiased message about what is going on in the world.
I think another tool that is good for this is the Shifts.The first one that is addressed is the Political. They talk about all these things from people getting killed in the Philippines trying to go vote to People on trains in the United States getting hurt and even killed in some cases by the cops on the train and this all being done wrongfully. Then with the Technological Shift they put this on there website and Youtube. This allows people to comment on this and check the facts. Which leads in to the last thing is that they use Scientific evidence to support all there claims and some of them can be found easily on their website. I think its great that there are thigns like this that challenge the norm and makes people asks questions.
