In 2009 the Associated Press took a chance after much deliberation to publish a Julie Jacobson photo of a United States Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua M. Bernard, after he had been injured; the soldier later succumb to his injuries and perished. The family of the deceit asked that the photo not be published but the A.P. went on with the publication despite criticism, and I believe publishing was the right choice. This decision of mine did not come instantly, when doing my research on the topic my…

Political cartoons during the late 19th century Gilded Age revealed, on a large scale, key issues at stake throughout the era. These drawings flourished in the 1860s due to advances in new technology of mass circulation and because people of all kinds; young, old, black, white, educated, illiterate could interpret the intense meaning from the artists.

In his editorial "Words Triumph Over Images," Curtis Wilkie describes the TV coverage of Hurricane Katrina as "unfiltered" and "reckless." He argues that print news journalists did a much better job covering the event than TV or radio news reporters, and for this reason he claims that print news is superior to other kinds of coverage.

Today is a vastly different world, as mass capitalism and consumerism dominate public life. Companies continue to market their products aggressively, as advertisements and…

USA Today captured an unmet need in the market for professionals, students and households that had not been tapped until Gannett seized the opportunity in the 80’s. He reached a segment of the market where readers were in a time crunch to obtain news and relevant consumer information in an expedited convenient manner.
