    The news media’s shift from public and political issues to the hot topics of “gossip, crime, and sex” is expertly analyzed in Dr. William R. Davie’s article “Crime and Passion: Journalism for the Masses?.” Davie cites the term “yellow journalism,” coined from Tabloid Tales: Global Debates over Media Standards authors Sparks and Tulloch, to describe the sensationalistic form of news that was popularized in the late 1800s. The sensational tabloids in Britain share the same space as many professional journals, while America separates the two so drastically because of the common professional’s contempt for the sensational methods in many tabloids (356). The British’s method of yellow journalism organization may be more effective overall, because the sensational articles can serve as an exciting gateway to more professional and accurate journalism for consumers.…

    When I first started this assignment I thought I was going to be completely bored. I thought that since it was a silent film with music, I would not be able to understand what was going on and for a while I was right but as I continued to view the film, I completely understood what was going on. The Jazz Singer sparked a revolution by the film industry to have synchronized speech, singing, and music using the vitaphone. Even though the film only had two senses where the characters actually spoke and the rest of the dialogue was presented through the caption cards, or inter-tiles which was a common standard in silent movies with the music accompaniment, this was a big event for 1927.…

However celebrity journalism can be a little more threatening than just keeping up on Kim Kardashian’s latest nude selfie-scandal – beneath the surface lies something a little more sinister – the issue of placing celebrity spin in non-celebrity news.…
