Blog 9: Newsy

Newsy is a video journalism website that focuses on national unbiased news that us easily digestible. I like how they have videos that goes straight to the point unlike lengthy articles or live TV which can take up more time to find the content that you are looking for. Newsy is a unique site offers documentaries on many topics and also offers political / local shows. Newsy creates a new innovative change to how news is viewed today which shines above any other current news media sites.

Hyperlocal News

Hyperlocal News is a term to describe information centered around a defined community with emphasis on population. Hyperlocal News sites often visit local areas such as suburbs, neighborhoods, small communities and are usually not covered by mainstream media. For example the sites i’ve visited showed coverage on small sports teams, interviews with neighborhood residents or a sale on a house down the street. Most hyperlocal news are always online to avoid the cost of printing paper and has much in common with citizen journalism.

Coney Island Broadwalk, Day to Night 2011 By Steven Wilkes

I am intrigued at viewing photographs to recreate a moment of time and in Steven Wilkes picture of Coney Island Broadwalk it conveys the day and night life in one picture creating a visual masterpiece. Steven accomplished this shot by stitching together 3 seperate photos into one singular image that blends together perfectly. Stevens photos all have a meaning which coincides with the term of photos meaning 1000 words, each of Stevens photos are a work of art which conveys more than just a still shot.

Why havent we all switch to electric cars yet?

With all the talk about climate change and pollution prevention laws everyone is in the search to find ways to save this planet such as compainies like apple using 100% recycled alluminum in their iphones, starbucks switching to 100% recycled paper, even food waste from Ikea turning into compost , but what about for consumers switching from gas guzziling cars to clean electric EV vehicles? Electric cars have been heavily discounted since the past few years such as manufacturers like Tesla inventing the Model 3 which is a low cost fully EV vehicle and many more competitors continulously switching to EV’s. But why aren’t we seeing more Ev’s on the roads today? the answer is that even though they may be more affordable, gas cars are still cheaper than any electric car in the market today since consumers are getting a better value. In the next few years by 2025 there will be more EV’s on the road than Gas cars today.

Music has evolved throughout the years moving away from traditions into new innovative music such as relating to everyone’s personal lives. My two favorite artist that changed the music industry for rap and hip hop are JuiceWrld and Post Malone. Both artist provides a unique twist in modern music that stands them out among many musicians in today’s generation by introducing a melodic pattern in beats with relative vocals that creates a distinctive personality to each song. Both artists have a mass following which influence many millennial’s across the United States. JuiceWrld and Post Malone manufactures complete thoughtful music that expresses a persons feelings and personality.
