Vaccinations can solve many problems such as common flus and other, more dangerous, illnesses. Many people believe that vaccines can harm their children.

This is backed up by data provided by the Committee to Protect Journalists (2017) where they have documented the murder of over thirty-six journalists in Russia since 1992, and the retaliatory imprisonment of over 10 journalists since 2008. Russia is also quite renowned for its issues with corruption. It is widespread and…

In autobiographical literary journalistic texts, the author functions as an on-page character as well as a real-life human being. According to Lejeune, the author “is not just a person, he is a person who writes and publishes. With one foot in the text, and one outside, he is the point of contact between the two,” (200).

conditions of the woman at the Lowell textile mill were extremely poor. The journalists at The Harbinger in 1836 gave an account of their visit to a textile mill. One of the first deplorable conditions the mention is the level of noise, saying, “The din and clatter of these five hundred looms… seemed such an atrocious violation of one of the faculties of the human soul, the sense of hearing” (The Harbinger). These journalists took note that most girls attended three looms, and that the most that…

The Muzzling of America ¨Political Correctness doesn't change us, it shuts us up.¨ ( Glenn Beck- television personality and radio host) Political correctness has affected our safety, education, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion.

intrigues in her private life, that spoke of public events solely, and that would affirm her eminence as America’s originating and most consequential theorist of woman’s role in history, culture, and society. (Showalter, 2013, para. 2) Elaine Showalter, journalist for the New Republic, a journal of opinion founded in 1914, went on to say, Fuller was indeed the most learned woman in nineteenth-century America,…

countries sent journalists to Vietnam too; most countries with media services that could withstand the war sent staff to report on the war (”media and the Vietnam War”). These countries were perhaps eager to match the United States’ success with media involvement and to inform their own country on the potential spread of communism in Vietnam.

One is that the increasing power of the consumer as a producer challenges the traditional gate-keeping role of journalists (Hermida & Thurman, 2008). In community journalism, this challenge to the gate-keeping role may not be a concern. This is because journalists at these smaller publications have often allowed the public to have influence (Meyer & Daniels, 2011). Yet, there are community media editors who do have reservations about allowing…
