#1 What Is News?

                         History of News Media - S.Ear.C.H. TSA Webmaster

    I'm sure when most teens think of the news we automatically think about a news anchor reporting the latest current events or a reporter interviewing community members about a neighborhood crime. Growing up when I thought about news I thought it was meant for elderly people only. Now that I am older I realized that news is meant for everyone and that television is not the only way that news is reported to the public. In today's era it is so easy to see the latest topic through simply picking up your phone and scrolling through Instagram, Snap chat, Twitter, or Facebook. This leads me to say can news really be defined in one way? News is not just reported from one platform therefore news can have a variety amount of definitions. Not one definition can overpower the other because at the end of the day each source is still giving out information. You can discover news just from driving on the highway because there’s always going to be a billboard somewhere standing high and in plain sight. There are a handful of people that I know that absolutely hate the news. A lot of people feel as if the news is fake and just for show. In my opinion no matter how news is presented to us we should be thankful that we have access to various types of news and that we're able to always know what’s going on in the world.

    The most accurate definition of news is information newly received or noteworthy information, about current events or important events. There are different genres of news such as current events, human interest, sports, fashion entertainment, etc.  Additionally, there are different types of news such as international, national, and local news. As far as local news it is important because it can advise people in a locality about activities that may have an impact on that particular community. For example, if local reporters make a report about a neighborhood killer/rapist this can alert the community to take precautions. Without them being informed it would probably be several deaths or rape cases due to the community not being aware.

      National news is another important type of news because it primarily encompasses new and sometimes traditional media outlets which includes newspapers, televisions, and the radio. National news is mainly important because it informs the public about political affairs within the nation. Fox news. MSNBC news, HGTV news, and ESPN.

Lastly, as far as International news it is important because news from one country to another is necessary in today's global economy. Knowing what's the hot topic in other countries allows the public to see different ways of life and cultural differences. Most people watch international news to see about current events from places such as Middle Eastern countries. A few international news channels are BBC World News, Sky News, and CNN. 

     Overall, as I stated before news can be informed to the public in many different ways. News can also be defined in many different ways as well. Nevertheless, news will forever be needed in today's era because it is information that keeps us informed about issues that go on around the world and changing events. Following the news also allows you to have more of a broader understanding of local, national, and international affairs.

#20 Visual Journalism

  My Track & Field Journey at SAU Track and Field doesn’t get as much recognition or hype as football or basketball would.  However, track is an extremely competitive sport and it's one of the only sports in which you compete against yourself. I have been running track ever since I was 10 years old. Being able to still run in college and being offered the opportunity to run track at Southern Arkansas University was a huge honor and blessing that I will forever cherish. From freshman year up until now my track career here at SAU has been an amazing journey. For my visual journalism presentation I decided to showcase what my track and field experience has been like so far here at SAU. Freshman Year 2018-2019        Coming in as a freshman, I was nervous about how I would perform. Here is a picture of my teammates and I at our first indoor track meet of the season in 2019. The man in the background happens to be our head coach!   Here's my teammates and I at our first outdoor

#10 Listening Post

   Decades ago most people typically received information or heard about something from listening to the radio, watching the news, or reading the newspaper. In today's generation those aren't ways that most people receive information. In today's generation it is so easy for someone to pick up their mobile device and open twitter, Instagram, snap chat, or any other form of social media. Social media is the new type of news. Information is not heard as much as it used to be through the news or radio. Its sometimes just seen with our own eyes. This leads me to talk about listening post. Listening post can be a various amount of things.     According to  Statistics ,listening post can mean "A point in process where companies can collect and analyze feedback from their consumers. Listening post are a way to conform or disprove that assumption by hearing feedback straight from the source". Listening post are mainly invaluable for understanding what customers truly think

  Ohio Public Records    As I stated in my last blog, public records are pieces of information that are not considered confidential and generally pertain to the conduct of government. It is also information that is recorded and stored by the government in which the public can have access to it. Public records can mean more than criminal records or driving records. Do you ever wonder what happens behind the scenes of public records? What does a public office have to do when it receives public record request?     A public office must organize and maintain its records to meet its duty to respond to public records requests and must keep a copy of its records retention schedule at a location readily available to the public. When it receives a public records request for specific existing records, the public office must provide inspection of the requested records during regular business hours or provide copies within a reasonable period of time. A requester is entitled to delivery of copi
