murder in our media
today murder in our media is glorified and over published. when we hear about how someone has murdered lets say in this case Heyton Gorde killed six people we only ever hear about Heyton Gorde. obviously we hear about who died but we never remember their names do we. its always the killer. maybe its because our minds are baffled at the idea of a murderer's story... or maybe its the concept that we don't understand these people... or maybe its simply because our emotions are running high over the matter; outrage, sadness, guilt, anger, over powering eruptive emotions lead to upset. to a news scout the job of toggling a persons emotions are highly fun. lots of people want there name out there. fame is something humans have both created and crave. granted its obvious that some will take it too far. a girl will do sex tapes to get to Hollywood... same principal for a phychopath, he says "this guy is my idol. he made it big and now its my turn." don't let them get big. yes its a problem in society but its important that we don't ostracise it.

What a welcome..."Murder in the Media" is kind of a downer to start.
ReplyDeleteYes, the sensationalized portrayal of murder in the media is a problem. What do you mean "its important that we don't ostracize it?" Do you mean we shouldn't ban the reporting of murder on news stories? How can media producers curb the sensationalism of murder? How can we as media consumers prevent a murderer from gaining infamy through the media? Are you sensationalizing murder with your background choice, text colour choice and by choosing to talk about murder for your first two blogs?
Could you please capitalize the first letters in a sentence and use proper punctuation. Spellcheck too.. Otherwise an interesting
