Summary of Chapter 6 & 5.11

Photography is and always will be a powerful part of media. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and "they" are exactly right. When people can see something in physical evidence it is a lot more convincing than a person telling them about it.
   Any Photojournalist wants their pictures to have a sense of drama, as if to ask "what is going on here?" or action to gain the interest of the public. All photographers use long range, mid-range, and closeups to help relay the message of each photo. Also the rule of thirds is important to make photos look more believable.
  Charts need to be accurate in news. Everything should be accurate in news but statistics especially cannot be wrong. Pie charts, bar charts,  line charts, all show the same data need to be clarified, simplified, and above all accurate.
  All graphs have a different purpose. For example a pie chart that has overwhelming numbers is good to show on a pie chart to portray the emotion of dominance. Bar charts have good comparison schemes and are good for business.
 Math is dire in charts. Mean, Median, ratios, percentages all majorly impact graphs.

Curriculum Changes

The president announced that all incoming students starting in the fall will have to take one math, computer science, and foreign language course.

President of the University recently announced this change due to a study that showed only 15 percent of students took a foreign language and only 20 percent of students took a math before graduation. The president made a public statement that the staff and himself felt that the students would be more educated when they graduated.

Arrest

Homecoming Queen arrested last night for the drunk driving a third time.

22-year-old Cathy Benson, daughter of Sharon Benson, has been caught for the third time on a drunk driving rampage. Cathy is a student of Vanderbilt University, a cheerleader, and straight A student.

Port Columbus office reports that it was 82 degrees at 3:30 p.m. This is unseasonable weather for an area like this!
