A. Greatest 10 First Dates
1. The different types of media used in this article are mostly photos and text. There is also a lot of links that can be clicked on to provide further information about what the article is about. There is also interactivity (sharing on fb, twitter, etc,.) which is an easy way to communicate and share out to others on other platforms of social media. The print also has some areas highlighted to show points of possible focus for the reader. This is effective because you can read over and over again and see what the article is saying in front of you. Along with the title, there is also a subheader which further leads the reader in in this case, by allowing one to be different with the dates, so makes you want to know more. There is also a form to contact the author, as the email provided.
2. The strength of the text is that it provides readers with a ton of information for different creative ideas for dates. Also, as mentioned before, some areas of the text are highlighted or italicized, which brings the reader in and can be clicked on for further information for the reader. The text in this article is very well laid out along with an image. There are also photos provided in this article, which allows us to see the places that are mentioned in this article and give us an idea. Along with most of the photos is text describing what the image is. As for interactivity, one can easily share the article via different social media platforms.
3. For this article, I would say there is enough media coverage, as there are details about pricing, locations, menus, phone numbers, and websites.

B. Hazing at Baruch College
1. The different types of media used in this article were mostly text along with some photos. There is also a video present with officers describing what happened at the college.
2. The strength of the text is that one has every detail very specifically laid out in front of them. You can go over and re-read something several times if necessary. You can specifically find all the W's answered in text. The strength of the photo in this article is you can see what happened, as the victim of this hazing death tragedy is portrayed giving us a mental image of the victim, Chun Deng. As for the video, we can hear with audio and pictures what happened and we can hear the tone of voice if there is one, in this case there is, which can stimulate our emotions and help us understand the case better. Along with these forms of multimedia, there is also forms of sharing the article via FB, Twitter, etc,.
3. For this specific article, I don't find the need to add any other form of media because there is already text, photos, and a video present which all convey the same message, but in different forms. as far as media coverage, enough detail was present to learn and inform me about the story.
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/09/16/nyregion/baruch-college-fraternity-hazing-death-case.html?hp&action=click&pgtype=Homepage&module=first-column-region®ion=top-news&WT.nav=top-news&_r=0
C. Tsunami Alert in Hawaii
1. The different forms of multimedia used in this article are photos, text, and video. There is also interactivity to leave comments and share.
2. In this article, the text provides us again with physical facts regarding this tsunami alert for Hawaii and California after an 8.3 magnitude earthquake hit Chile causing mass flooding and destruction and 1 reported fatality. This allows us to have a better idea of what went on with FACTS. There are also more facts in bold under the title, stating more facts and attracting the reader to read them because they are so close to the title and are in bold. The photos provide us with a visualization of what happened, we see the destruction of the earthquake. There is also interactivity on this article. The video in this article allows us to see what happened in motion.
3. For this article, I felt all uses of the multimedia were very effective, once again conveying the same message but in different ways which are effective and may give readers different ways to understand it, depending on the reader. Maybe some ways are more effective and easier for certain readers to understand.

Assignment #1 - A Report on Three Pieces of Multimedia Journalism
Jeff Hott
Multimedia Journalism
Assignment #1
http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/16/politics/republican-presidential-debate-live-updates/index.html
The second Republican Presidential Debate was broadcast live on CNN's website. Not only was the debate broadcasted, but the page was also consistently updated with important quotes from the potential nominees. Also included were links to Twitter and Facebook.
Watching the debate, I was able to see how the potential candidates interacted with eachother in a way that would not have been possible had it been a pure audio recording. The links to Twitter and Facebook would also enable viewers to share the debate on social media, possibly increasing the amount of viewers.
Were I able to, I would add a comment section to the page so that others would be able to share their views on the potential candidate's views.
http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/16/politics/syria-russia-helicopters-ash-carter-john-kerry/index.html?eref=rss_topstories
As the conflict in Syria between the rebels and the al-Assad regime escalates, it seems as if Russia has been ignoring the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's repeated warnings to cease armament of the al-Assad backed military. Included on the page is a video which shows satellite images of Russian helicopters and tanks at Syrian air bases. Included were links to several social media websites.
The article was extremely informative, even going on to describe a meeting between Secretary of State John Kerry and his Russian counterpart, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, on Russian military aid to the al-Assad regime.
If I were able to add anything to the article, I would include a general comments section, so that social media users would be able to discuss and debate the issue.
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-34272765
Due to the wars in Middle Eastern countries such as Syria and Afghanistan, Western Europe is facing its largest refugee crisis since the Second World War. Migrants in Serbia, whose ultimate destination is Germany, have amassed at the Serbia-Hungary border, and a tense standoff with Hungarian Police has developed. Also included with the article is a video which shows victims of tear gas fired by the Hungarian Police over the Serbian border.
Seeing the refugees in the video amassed at the Serbia-Hungary border is quite distressing. A perfect example of the negative impacts of the European Union's Open Border policy. Were I able to add anything to this page, I again would add a comment section.

Story 1
September 16, 2015
Professor Luther
Michael Kocinsky
Story 1
1.)
This article utilizes video, print, and interactivity Medias.
2.) This article is discussing the
social standpoint between two of the most notorious terrorist organizations in
today's day. These two include,
"Isis" and Al-Qaeda. Both of
these organizations have inflicted damage on our nation, and have the potential
to create massive chaos. The text
encrypts a very thorough spectrum of the issue of these two organizations. It displays the feud between the two, and the
negative feelings regarding who is better than the other. The text can show detail in a different
manner than anything else in my eyes, because of how sought out the writers
details were. The video displays a
fantastic overview of the text and more!
It has the ability to show readers the actual occurrence that has been,
and is going on as I write this. These
two brutal organizations have had a tight history since early 2014. And will continue to have this feud, which
eventually will potentially affect our Nation negatively. The interactivity is utilized in which there
are four links to be accessed; an envelope, which enable to e-mail the entire
article, a Facebook icon, which will allow to be posted on one's wall. There's also a Twitter icon to tweet the
article, and also this article will let the public post the article to Pinterest.
3.) If there was something I can
change, it would have to be how the reporter/writer approaches these
organizations. In which I would address
them in a very negative manner, not really approaching them with ease. Some of the public doesn't realize what
dangers these groups create, and everyone should know no matter the case, both
sides are savages.
Story 2
1.) This article utilizes print, video
and interactivity Medias
2.) This article utilizes text in
way that invigorates the reader of the horrible occurrence that had happened in
2013 at Baruch College. It presents the
harsh dangers of hazing that occurs in universities across the nation. The brothers that had made the initiation,
included for him to run across a frozen yard wearing only a blindfold and a
back pack. While running through the
yard other members of the fraternity would 'spear' Deng into the ground. The text has shown the brutal occurrence in a
well-developed manner. The details were
very in depth and give the reader a clear understanding of the death of the
young student. Another media that was
used was video, the video presents a police officer discussing the harsh
reality of Michael Deng, and how and where this instance took place. He further goes on briefly speaking about the
police investigation. The other media was interactivity, which has a few links
that are followed to Twitter, Facebook, and an option to e-mail the
article.
3.) The New York Times had done a
great job addressing this horrendous occurrence, but if there was one thing to
be changed it would be a video of the other members in the fraternity being
interviewed. These members had killed
this young man, with no help to be offered when he cried for it. They deserve to be publicly embarrassed.
Story 3
1.)
This article utilizes the print and interactivity medias.
2.) The text allows the reader to
be immersed because of the great detail.
Each thought is sought out and is clearly drawn. It is showing the harsh realities of the
pollution rate. The rate of pollution in
our atmosphere is at an all-time and climbing.
There have been 3.3 annual deaths worldwide because of extense
pollution. Reporters say by 2050 there
will be 6 million annual deaths across the world. By showing the staggering numbers it makes
the reader coherent of the world today.
Print makes the details very frightening in which it becomes effective
and powerful. The reason had been stated
because of agriculture and farming, and the leading cause of death is strokes
and heart disease. The text gives a
great overview of the dangerous affects the pollution creates. The second media
is interactivity, which allows readers to e-mail, share on Facebook, and post
on twitter. This can become effective
because of the dangers of the polluted air can be put across social media. Maybe someone will stumble across the article
and take a stand on this aroused subject matter.

Comm 106
Examiner
reveals cause of Moses Malone's sudden death
This is a powerfully
presented story about Moses Malone’s dead.
At the top of the page is a bold headline.
There is a picture of Moses
Malone taken in 2006. The text shows him
waiving to the crowd during a playoff game.
There is a video of his playing
career. There is a section to see
highlights from his career.
On another page people are
leaving comments that express how shocked and saddened they are by this awful
news of his death. This goes in depth
about the passing and gives details on
the events.
A strength of the story is
the clip in the middle of the article.
This shows highlights of his career and award he received throughout. Detail of the events leading up to Malone’s passing is in text. This text is crucial because it gives the
location and the of Malone’s passing. Another
strength of the story is talking about Malone’s friends and the memories of
what they had planed to do during that day, a charity golf outing. This is very powerful to me. The text is
clear and exact on the situation that
is being covered.
The main interactivity in this
story are messages that are being left at the bottom of the page it shows
readers offering their condolences. When
seeing the messages the emotion can get to readers. This interactive section is very effective.
I would want to add more video and maybe more messages. I would add more photos Malone. Something else that would be good to see might
be an interview to get more reactions.
Stories like these can be
very emotional.
Throwback CC start has Yanks encouraged
Left-hander posts scoreless outing for first
time since 2013
A primary media used in this
article is MLB Advanced Media. There are
action pictures of players. One of the
game announcers is providing the action. Other sources of media used in the
story are the camera that has a clear view from center field to home plate. There is an article (text) about the game and interviews with player reactions.
At the bottom of the screen it has comments from
the people who watched the game. The
text is effective because it gets so much information out of the story.
I would add more video to
help the reader get a better understanding.
I would also add more in depth video to see the length of what goes on
during breaks. I feel the comments are
not enough.
Ariana Grande Nails Musical Impressions Of
Christina Aguilera & More — Watch
http://hollywoodlife.com/2015/09/16/ariana-grande-impressions-christina-aguilera-tonight-show-video/
This is a very entertaining
article on Grande coming on Jimmy Fallon.
The story shows a video of Grande’s musical impressions. The text goes into detail and length plus links
to other articles. The different media
also includes photos of actors and actresses.
The strength of the article is
the clip of Grande singing into a microphone.
It shows Grande singing Mary Had A Little Lamb in the voice of another
singer.
This text is effective
because it is humorous.
Some readers leave
comments down at the bottom of the page.
The media coverage that I would change is that I would add some screen shots from
the show to get further into the
story.
Events Taking Place in the U.S. (except for one)
This news article uses the three most common forms of media on an internet news source: video, text, and interactivity. There's a reason why these three forms of media are used so often in a news story; they are independently immersive but together make a powerful source of information. The video is blunt and gets straight to the point of what the article is about while the text gives the reader more information and context to what the video entails. And finally, the article surrounds the reader with related stories that creates the perfect environment for the he or she to be consumed by the events taking place and brought up to date with popular culture. One thing I would have been interested in seeing is a comments section to see what opinions people had other than just being spoon fed a story.
What I found interesting about this story is that it uses audio without video. This isn't as common in visual news articles mainly because it isn't as personal or immersive and most of all it's somewhat uninteresting. Now this article does use text and there is other related content that you can choose to read at the bottom of the article, that is, if you so happen to bother reading it. The problem with this specific article is that the text is almost word-for-word of what the audio informs the reader on. Although the information is being given there is no reason for the reader to continue any further research on the news source which, in turn, will cause the reader to most likely not return to the site for the little it has to offer.
Unlike the first story, we can see a photo gallery that presents an emotional connection to the Syrian asylum seekers stuck at the border between Serbia and Hungary. Because the photo gallery is the first thing shown it forces the reader to want to read the rest of the article in order to completely understand what is currently taking place during a time of desperation for the Syrian nationals. What further strengthens the article is the fact that after reading just a few small paragraphs there is a video that continues its pursuit on informing the reader. It is placed perfectly within the article so that the reader never gets a chance to become bored of he story. Something is always happening within the article and one may choose to read more on the related stories section or even reply down in the comment section below.
The Threats of Hazing, ISIS and Doanld Trump Assignment 1
Sean Browne
1. The different types of media components in this
article was video, text and interactivity
2. The text provided a solid outline of what this
story entailed, thirty seven brothers from the Pi Delta Psi Fraternity would be
facing criminal charges for their part in the death Chun Hsien Deng's on
December 9th, 2013. His death was a cause of hazing. The story arced the time
of Chun's death to police arresting these thirty seven fraternity brothers. In
between those two events, the story displayed all of the things that happened
in between. Things like the police officers trying to build a case and the
questioning of the fraternities president Andy Meng for his role in this event.
The text did a very good job in giving detailed occurrence of what happened.
The video displayed a in depth analysis of
Chun's death. Police chief Chris Wagner of the Pocono Mountain Regional
Police Department gave the details of the death. Deng was blindfolded and was
assaulted by his other brothers. Deng complained how much it hurt, and then he
was unconscious and had a hard time breathing. which lead to his death. The
video gave me a visual aid of what
happened, the emotional power of this video really made me uncomfortable and gave
me a image of what happened. So it was definitely very powerful.
The interactivity came when at the top of the
article, I could click on a twitter button, and I could share this story on
twitter. I think that it is very cool because I can spread the awareness of
what happened
3. If I were to add something to this video I would
definitely have added a poll. With a question saying " after this event,
should Greek life be involved on campus". I would like that because I
think that's a reasonable question to bring up. This is not the first
time a fraternity related death has happened, so I would be interested to see
what people think about fraternities.
Story Two -
http://nydn.us/1J9Tp8U
1. The types of media
in this article was print, video and interactivity
2. The print of this
news story told how ISIS is planning an 9/11 repeat. The print depicted threats
from ISIS. with quotes from ISIS such as “We will repeat September 11 and we
will send cars full of explosives and suicide bombers,”. So I definitely felt
the severity of this issue. Thanks to the Daily News, I understand that ISIS is
officially planning a threat on the United States.
I found the video the
be very gut wrenching. The video showed footage of a plane flying into the
World Trade Center and images of ISIS soldiers. I found this video to be very
impactful. Watching that footage made me very upset and brought back very sad
memories of an awful disaster. But the video did fulfill its purpose, because
the whole point of this article was to spread awareness of a awful treat such
as ISIS, and sometimes the only way to spread awareness is through scaring us.
The interactive part
came when the writer Meg Wagner shared her email at the bottom of the article.
I thought that was cool. Now if I wanted to share my opinions of this article I
have direct access to do so.
3. I would had
definitely added a response from the United States in her print. Just because
it could give people a sense of comfort. I think some people reading this could
be very frightened, so maybe a response from the government reassuring its
people could have been fitting
1. The types of media in this article was
print, video and interactivity
2. The print was an
informative piece, it told how the Republican debate was on tomorrow night. It
was pretty basic information like what time it is on, what channel it is on and
who is in it. The one surprise was that Carly Fiorina will also be joining the
debate as the eleventh candidate,
The video showed how
Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina were gaining ground in this election. They also
said that if these two one a primary or a caucus that it would be a first time
a African American or a Woman who was affiliated with the Republicans won. I
thought that fact was interesting only because I never knew that before.
David Catanese also
posted his email information in case I wanted to give him some feedback.
Unfortunately I would probably not give him any stellar reviews on this piece.
3. If I were to change
anything I would have definitely cut out all the Donald Trump nonsense at the
end on the print. Catanese talks about how Trump and Carson have been attacking
each other. I just want one article in relation to the election where I don't
have to hear who Donald Trump is attacking now

“Just 5 Minutes of Running Per Day Could Add Years to Your Life”
1). Interactivity,
video and text were the media components used in this TIME video. This health informative video is great; it is short, less
than two minutes, creative and interesting. I
This
video is about the benefits of jogging but the best part is that researches
from the World Health Organization said that it is better to run for less than an
hour than more than one hour. Awesome right? There is a video with text on it, colors
and voice; there is not much text aside. The page is friendly has interactivity
and easy to move around, can be share on Facebook, twitter, and pinterest or e-mail
it. There are related interesting health articles with around. I highly recommend going in this site if you like wellness and health lifestyle articles.
I
will like to see an interview with someone who run and someone who doesn’t for an
example and comparison. And it is missing comments. I like to read the comments
to see how people feel and think about it.

recommend reading the comments for a better understanding and knowledge of the
article also you can share your opinion too and that makes articles good for a
discussion.
This
article has it all; I will just add voice to the video.
