The main technique used is the quote. Although it didn’t appear in the movie, a quote is a really powerful way to illustrate the type of person being written about. That quote alone makes the public sympathize with Edward Rooney, as he’s willing to admit he did the wrong thing. A powerful quote makes the article moving and inspiring for readers. The language used has kept the article interesting and instructive but also to make the writing use that flowy sort of format which is a necessity for a newspaper
The journalism used for the news casts was not like normal journalism of the decade or even in the present. For the news reporters, they would write a story in the “most descriptive way we could.” Keith Radford explains that at journalism school they would use examples from the CKLW 20/20 newscast to show students what not to do. News reports were heard by a big booming voice exclaiming:
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986), directed written and co-produced by John Hughes and Tom Jacobson has claimed it’s spot as one of the best teen movie of the 80’s. The teen comedy film follows Ferris Bueller, played by Matthew Broderick, a slacker teen who fakes ill to skip school. Ferris, known as the effortlessly cool “wise guy” around school coaxes his best friend Cameron Frye and girlfriend Sloane Peterson into his plan and the three spend the day aimlessly roam the streets of Chicago. Although a 32-year-old film, it is a timeless classic and still relatable to teens and adults alike. The audience is constantly at the edge of their seats as Ferris’s cover is nearly blown multiple times throughout the film. As the audience,
As he looked at the picture, his eyes welled up with tears. It was a picture of him with his little sister, whom he would never play with again. Being only nine years old, he had not been through the deaths of any family members, except for his grandma he never even met, who passed away only months after he was born. But this tragedy turned him into an emotional wreck, as he would never be with his four year old sister again. It all happened in a heartbeat, he woke up on the first day of Spring Break and found his little sister lying silent in her bed, not breathing. And now, two days later, he finds himself at her funeral. The picture that stood out was of him and his sister showing off the vegetables they had picked in their garden

In reference to the media’s role, they have been highlighted for playing a part in maintaining these views by portraying victims in a certain way according to the newsworthiness of each story and their selectiveness (Greer, 2007). Furthermore, there has been an increase in both fictional crime programmes and crime documentaries, with Crimewatch particularly becoming a regular part of British viewing. In the modern context, crime has continued to represent a large proportion of news reporting and with the aid of social networking sites and self-publicity via the internet, journalists are now more able to dig even deeper into the lives of people on whom they wish to report. Newspapers continue to keep the public informed with the latest headlines and the internet has also provided opportunities for members of the public to have their input in blogs.
The film being analysed is the Breakfast Club, directed by John Hughes. Trapped in Saturday detention are 5 stereotyped teens. Claire, the princess, Andrew, the jock, John, the criminal, Brian, the brain, and Allison, the basket case. At 7 am, they had nothing to say, but by 4 pm; they had uncovered everything to each other. The students bond together when faced with the their principal, and realise that they have more in common than they think, including a hatred for adult society. They begin to see each other as equal people and even though they were stereotyped they would always be The Breakfast Club. The Breakfast Club highlights a variety of pressures that are placed upon teenagers through out high school. One of the most challenging aspects of screenwriting is creating characters that an audience can identify with, relate to, and be entertained by.
One example is when they put out the article “Charles Foster Kane Defeated, Fraud At Polls”. From that headline you would believe that he was beaten by some illegal purpose, but it was just a headline getting people to read the article and the enjoyment of writing against your enemy. Next, when Kane got all the writers from the chronicle to start writing for the inquirer. He put out an article that said “The Greatest Newspaper Staff In The World” and had a picture of all the new guys standing together. As you can see there it is not so much false information, but he said they are greatest writers in the world. When all these guys came form the opposing newspaper. While watching the film there are many other times that Kane portrays yellow journalism. He was out to help the poor people of the community and just have fun with the newspaper.

The headline describes the pain McDonald endured when it states “domestic violence survivor describes horrific abuse” In addition, the images contrast as they show happy pictures of the couple, which were posted on Facebook, but also show the horrific abuse Deacon inflicted upon McDonald. The video from 9 News was a 2.4 minute video which showcased part of an interview with McDonald. This was shortened down to be 1.59 minutes by News.com.au to show only part of the video which, was to help prove that Deacon was a terrible man. This article is trying to expose Deacon as a “brutal” person and is one sided in doing
Ferris's Day Off depicts students’ rebellion against the restrictive conformity of their high school environment due to their authoritarian Principal, Ed Rooney. An example of the uprising is Ferris Bueller's escapades, symbolizing a rejection of his high school's ridiculous rules, embarking on a quest to find authentic self-expression and fulfillment. On top of Ferris’s exploration of his individualism, the film celebrates Ferris’s ability to navigate the educational system on his terms, demonstrating the power of autonomy and self-determination in shaping an individual educational experience. Although the films have different perspectives, both advocate the importance of individualism and self-discovery within the education system.
In the short story “Understand”, the main character, Leon Greco, travels towards New York City in order to escape governmental authority. For my Rhetorical in Practice Project, I was interested in designing an online news article, specifically I planned on adopting The New York Times layout as a way to retain a form of continuity with the story. Saying that, I planned on adopting the key elements of The New York Times; such as, font style, formal writing, and avoidance of biases. Essentially, I endeavored to write an informative article to deliver factual details in regard to Greco, while also delivering a message that would not provoke my audience to not overreact. On top of that, I utilized this genre as a way to exhibit the trajectory of
When reporting crime events the media focus only on the negative scenarios that can impact the society, these events are to be know as “newsworthy” (Hall, 1978). Newsworthy crime news is formed through the selective approach taken by the editors where only the main idea of the topic is likely to be reproduced in the media. This is due to crime is not an open event as witnesses are limited hence the selective approach allows the editor to only report the thrilling parts of the crime. (Stuart Hall, 1978: p.53) quoted “‘News’ is the end-product of a complex proves which begins with a systematic sorting and selecting of events and topics according to a socially constructed set of categories”. As a result, this approach has formed bias opinions towards crime reporting as it’s presented in the editor’s point of view (Hall, 1978). The media hence only targets crime with events that is unexpected and events that’s viewed as out of the norm compared to the majority of the society. Alternatively, this changes the view of audiences as they view the society as a ‘problematic reality’ (Hall, 1978). The majority of world is therefore mislead by the fictional reporting of crime as many consumers
In contrast to the layout of ‘The Sun’, ‘The Times’ puts this story on page three because it does not think it is newsworthy for the front-page and its style of readers. ‘The Times’ also has a smaller e-fit picture than ‘The Sun’, it is made up of two columns both of which have small paragraphs...
There are many criminal events that occur every day, however only a few are selected as they are deemed to be newsworthy. Chibnall (1977) claimed that a story is classed as newsworthy if it is dramatized, immediate and involves structured access. ‘The Sun’ could be seen to use all these elements, for example they over emphasize on the violence that occurred and ...
The newspapers are an incredible influence tool in society; they can easily turn on people emotions in favor or against an issue or something. This is because we as readers tend to believe everything that is written in the newspaper even do it might be the wrong information. We can take the case around 12 years ago of the murder of James Bulger by Robert Thompson and Jon Venables, the British press had alleged that the kids were influence to commit such an act because of a spiteful video that they had watched, at the end the end they two kinds had not seen that video. What does this tell us about the newspapers? They mislead information that goes to the public which immediately influences the public to react, in this case the parent of kids prosecute the media that had influence their kids, but they don't know that the same media is influencing them to do act that way.
