Last class was pretty interactive although I am not too sure what we learned directly aside from learning to think critically about articles. As I am unsure of how to go about writing this blog entry and being able to add certain external links I will do my best
First, let me introduce you to my all time favorite TV show "19 Kids and Counting". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ER69OXzenVE They are expecting baby number twenty.
Why do I introduce this randomness? Well, besides the fact that I am so excited for it I thought that I could use the "10 Questions" given to us in class that could help me to write about this subject if I were to do so. I think you can use these questions for just about anything journalistic related so please forgive if I am off from the way that these questions were meant to be used for.
Question 1: What do I know? What do I know? Answer: The Duggar family includes 19 children, two grandchildren, one in-law, and two parents--all are biologically connected. Also, as stated above they will be expecting baby #20.
Question 2: What is my journalistic purpose? Answer: To inform the public about this family as it is a major milestone for any family.
Question #3: What are my ethical concerns? Answer: To show this family in the best of light as to not create conflict or to isolate myself or my news corporation (if I had one) from being able to report on this family from a personal interaction perspective. (You really don't want to be reporting the story like this guy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUJgLxDqfBc --WARNING: extreme dumbness/some foul language. Also, you may want to stop after the first minute and a half--actually you really do want to/should)
Question #5: How can I include other people, with different perspectives and diverse ideas, in the decision-making process? Answer: Easy! Get their intake! A lot of times on the Duggar show they interview people outside of the show to get their intake on certain things Duggar-related. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9SsLgHr5rSk skip to 4:30 so that you can get to the different perspectives part. This link shows the Duggars at a creationist museum and also shows other people disputing the subject.
