3RD SEMESTER what does the quote mean?

            This quote means that they must get all the details first and they can't go on vacation cause they might miss an important story. They are the eyes and earsof the public,because the public expects them to tell them all the facts almost as soon as they know all the facts.


Quote- Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediatly, while the echos of wonder, the claims of triumph and the sign of horror are still in the air.

Autism Hoax

           The over all effect the autism hoax had on the public was that more people stopped getting their shots for measles, chicken pox,etc which caused more people to get sick which caused more people to die. Some other effects were doctors offices are required to buy those vaccines costing the state to lose money.  The news media should have first had other scientists to check it before they published it, that one little action could have saved several peoples' lives. Since they already published that article in the past they should immediately write a new article to correct the problem as best they can, if they did this as quickly as possible it could still save many people's lives

what happened in the last 10 years?

           The 2000's were a lot of things but what was probably the most significant thing about it was the time of teenage girl's loving vampires, werewolves and other dark mythological creatures. In order to show our love of it we would often dress slightly Gothic wearing skinny jeans, dark tight shirts, and converse, all of this was considered fashionable. A lot of other really important  stuff happened this past 10 years, such as over 1 million deaths that's about 2times more than normal. We also had the 1st ever black President, President Obama. We invented  some cool useful things to such as wikipedia, facebook, myspace, ipods,  and the best thing ever American Idol! We had many bad things invented as well such as steroids, also a great many people are becoming obese. We also had a break out of H1N1 other wise known as the swine flu. That's about all that happened in the time period of 2000-2010
