1. Name the issue

2. Describe one media account of this issue
their pay conditions.
3. Where did you get this media account from?

Issue #1

1.Emergency services have their own emergency

2.One media account was that the state emergency workers have gone on strike in the City to rally about their pay conditions.

3. I saw this story on Either Today Tonight or the 6:oo news on channel 7 with Ian Ross

4.This media account is correct because it has been extensively covered and it shows people rallying about their pay conditions

5.To find more information about this issue, I could search on the internet or newspapers, also the newspapers websites and perhaps different news reports on television.

Issue #2

1. Lion love

2. I saw this on Today tonight at the end of the show, it was two men who bought a lion so that it wouldn’t be stuck in its cage and killed for its fur, they always exercised the lion and grew a great bond..but the right thing was to let it back into the wild which is what they did. After a few years the men went to Africa and searched for the pride of Lions, once their Lion saw them he came over and jumped on them and started to wrestle and lick them, it had not forgotten the men and he even brought over his “wife” to meet them.

These mens morals in freeing then Lion is a great example of the good in today’s society.

3. I saw this Moral Issue at the end of the Today Tonight show just before they went off air. It was the last story they ran tonight

4. The media account has not been changed because it was a youtube video which had received millions of “hits” which is why they showed it. To give the viewer a nice warm feeling before they went off the air.

5. To find more information on this story I could look for the youtube video because during the video there were subtitles that told you what was going on but in 7’s broadcast some of the subtitles were cut off but I still got the “jist” of the story

1. Describe TWO things that you have learnt during this lesson.

During this lesson I have learnt how the Media twist the stories so that they can attract an audience. I have also learnt that anyone can do it and it might not even be intentional.

2. Identify TWO areas you want to concentrate on during this project that you think need a greater improvement from the last project.
During this project I will need to improve my ability of finding the changes and picking up what is wrong in the stories. I will also need to learn not to believe everything I see.
3. Discuss TWO ways in which your group could resolve any disputes during this process.
During this project we can give out warnings and make everyone accountable for their actions so that nothing goes wrong.

1 What did you like about the wikispace project? explain

2. What did you NOT like about the wikispace project? explain

3. What did you find hard about working in groups?

4. How did the wikispace keep everyone in your team accountable

5. How could you improve your presentation?

1. In my project, I liked the fact that wikispace had a history. It meant that it was obvious that Zac did absolutely no work.

2. Even though there was a history tab, I didn’t like a particular persons work ethic. I was also a bit touchy with the other ones, because all he did was copy and paste.

3. When we were working in groups, I found it hard that I was the only one doing good standard work.

4. It kept everyone accountable because it was very obvious with who did do work, and who was lazy and unco-operative.

5. I think I knew my topic well but my other group members did absolutely no research for themselves and had no idea about what they were talking about.
