RJA #14a: Application Project Progress Report

My application project is a journal entry about a child exploited by the media. I have the idea down and just need to get it on paper. I need to see how to format the journal entry. So far i have the child finding it very cool that their name and picture is plastered all over the internet. I think that i will have the child milking their fifteen minutes of fame, but then i think that the child will soon learn what the actual incident has done to their family, and see the the event was not all that cool and the child will want everything to go back to normal.

RJA #13c: Application Project Example

http://www.psych.uncc.edu/cdfernal/3480jrnl.html





I learned that examples need to be used to get the point across. There needs to be events to show what the person is writing about. I need to use how the person would feel about the situation or situations that the person experiences. The experiences need to be interesting for a reader to read.

RJA #13b: Application Project Plan

For my application project i am going to do a journal entry about the news. using a headline refering to ethics generally not existing in journalism anymore. I will try and get into the mind of one of the children exploited by the media just to get a story. i might also have it be a parents journal and write about how they feel the media not consenting with them to use their childs name or photo.
