We discuses and watched a lot of the Newsroom. The mane argument was is news really news. This is very questionable. What is the job of news in modern days. This is somewhat unknown…

News used to be bipartisan and what the people need to know. It was never about getting the highest ratings it was about telling the people what happened in the world and what they really needed to know.

The Newsroom when it first came out it was called pie in the sky according to our professor. Nobody could guess how wrong the people saying that was. Critics hated the show however, the people loved it.The show touches on the reality that news has become entertainment. When they stop following what people wanted to see to cover the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico “real news” they lost half of all the people who were loyal to them. The had to then back off of true news overnight in order to get them back in fear of losing their audience, covering a politician nudes.

This maybe a slight exaggeration of what happens in real life, however, it’s not all that far off from the truth really. In cable news today we see how much political stance they have spending probably half of their time covering that instead of what is happening around the world.On was the weather it was so bad it was going to cause blackouts however, people don’t care its boring so in the show they ignore it to get screwed by it later that day.

Our reading talks about the undercover boss how it and other shows clime to be news but its drama. Not relating to news at all however, it seem somewhat similar and can confuse watchers because it is set in a documentary format. If it bleeds it leads. Stepping away from the newsroom. In real life people think the crime rates in the United States are higher than ever. This simply isn’t true. However, people will log in and watch a full broadcast talking about crime and people who are tough on crime. Nobody wants to hear that crime is low, it just doesn’t sell it’s not entertainment. Many news stories have to be entertaining not necessarily informational. Television unlike newspaper is not forced to tell the truth to the viewers they have the power to lie to people and mislead them.
