WeeK11: Class Hightlights

This class is so much fun! I thought that journalism class was probably keep on reading the textbook, but in fact it is not! I really enjoy learning the new terms that I have never heard before, and I can even practice my English when there were group discussions. TV show was super fun! It is the first time for me to control a professional camera. It is a chance for me to memorize the terms of shots which I have learned in my film class. I really enjoy the class and I hope that I can take some other journalism classes in the near future!

New York' s MTA is claiming their copyright over their schedule. They are trying to block an application of iphone that can shows their schedules. StationStops is fighting with MTA about the copyright of the application. MTA also demand a share of his revenue, retroactive payment for prior sales.

Brief Comments: I disagree the act of MTM because usually the copyright is about the artistic works but schedule data is not artistic.

Week9: Propanganda in Advertising/ PR

I would like to propose a PR campaign for the environmental protection.
The weather is changing rapidly during these years, so I would like to make a poster with a question which is " Wearing a T-SHIRT Yesterday but Need to Wear an OVERCOAT Today?" to notice people about the abnormal changes of the weather in order to bring out the message of protecting the world by using environmentally friendly products.

Week 5: Movies or Recordings

My favourite sound recording of 2009 is Alive by the Black Eye Peas. I have downloaded the CD called The End which includes the song Alive, and it was the first time I heard this song when I listened all the songs in the CD. I love this song because it is quite similar to the song My Hump which was a very popular song around 3 years ago.
