Journal Entry 30: What is "News" to You?


For the first phenomenon, I have another idea. I believed that what types of stories and what stories are emphasized should depend on the audience. The reason is that no matter what kind of news that the TV station released. It is all about audience’s favorite to decides the news’ popularity. Therefore, it leads to another question. What type of story is newsworthy? Why people watch news or read newspapers? Besides receiving new information, I think people want truth for everything. For instance, people wanted to know if the members of legislative involve in corruption? Or does a celebrity has an affair? That’s what people usually wanted to figure out.

            In fact, celebrities’ occasions often catches people’s attentions. For example, Whitey Huston was a famous American recording artist, actress, producer, and model. However, she passed away recently. This news not only surprised people all over the world, but also it grabbed all people’s attentions. Indeed, although celebrities’ news do not happen all the time, they always can gather all the attention. There’s another reason in Taiwan recently. A Taiwanese actor called “Makiyo” she kicked a taxi driver when she was drunk. Nevertheless, she lied to everyone that she didn’t kicked the taxi driver when she was in a TV station conference. This not only wiped out her whole reputation, but also destroyed her whole career. This news caught my attention, because I have seen she acting on television before. So, her behavior totally changed everything I used to know about her.
