Saturday Media Blog 11/2

The media blog for today November 2, 2013 was NPR. For those of you who do not know what that is it is National Public Radio. The radio station covers many of the same topics that most normal news media outlets do pertaining to sports, news national and local.

During Halloween there are many individuals who take part in tributes to Michael Jackson.  Scott Jerkowski says, “The death of Michael Jackson was the best thing that could have happened to her career.” Dancers do not make that much money even if they do it professionally, but during this Michael Jackson season they have made a lot more money just because people want to perform thriller. Their fees also increase due to the choreography they want to learn.

Iraq minister met with President Obama last week to attempt to solve his problem of national security. Over a thousand Iraq civilians were killed last month due to security issues. The prime minister believes that he needs more weapons to increase his countries national security. People in the White House believe that he should find a plan before the United States will aid any further with military support even after being a long time ally.

The last story I listened to pertained to gay rights and it was about Hallmark. Hallmark has recently been under fire by gay rights activist for taking the word out of “Deck the Halls” on a tiny Christmas ornament. Hallmark tried to avoid interpretation but instead brought notice to it.

I think this media outlet is for anyone wanting to listen to the news. I feel it is more for the people in the corporate work place though. It feels like a show that would be on at 6 in the morning when business individuals are getting ready or driving to work.

The media outlet somewhat appealed to me. I found it sort of boring because it like a podcast and I don’t like to just listen to people talk on the radio. I would rather just listen to my music that I have, but this does you a well diverse and cultured individual so I am sure I could learn to like it.
