Week10:Media Ethics/Media Law

http://www.lossofprivacy.com/index.php/2009/08/nyc-mta-claims-copyright-over-their-schedule/

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.

The lead story is chosen for the shooting because it is a big event for the president of The United States visiting China, both are strong countries. Also, there are many problems they need to be solved, for example, China needs to raise concerns over human rights and concerns the Global Warming problems.

The anchor was serious for her tone and also got a serious facial expression which makes me feel that this news is really very important.

Week 7: Internet

There are 11732 links for the results of social working websites. I have heard of Facebook, LiveJournal, Myspace, Twitter, Xanga and Linkedin. I have never heard of MyLife before. I used xanga 2 years ago and wrote at least once for a week and now I use facebook everyday. I think I am addicted to it!
I have found my classmate who was my best friend when I was in primary 1 from Facebook! Facebook really helps me to connect well with friends and also the friends who are studying in other places.
