COM CO 101 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Watergate Scandal, Megaphone, Lee Harvey Oswald
Document Summary
Story is written by contacting family members (for the warm, personal facts) and the police department (for the cold, hard facts). Death stories are usually written because: when a person dies, we have the right to know what happens, value of life; exploring the unique life of the person who died. Taken by bystanders: feidin santana, bystander on his cellphone, on the walter scott shooting, miracle on the hudson; commercial airplane loses both engines and crash lands on the. Hudson river: officer rescuing children after hurricane harvey floods. What do we do: we report to the public verified information from reputable sources, in context, and on any timely topic relevant to the public, we do not print anything that has not been confirmed; no rumors. Are these threats real: fear that trump"s threats, which are not backed up by action, only embolden. Why do we do this work: so people have knowledge can make informed decisions.
