It also somewhat endangers the journalist when trying to effectively build a relationship, but has to https://nowcomment.com/documents/44649?scroll_to=518201 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44649?scroll_to=518201 be done sometimes, in order to receive Wed, 11 May 2016 07:09:34 -0400 he puts his cards on the table because he clearly has nothing conceal, he is going to tell the story. https://nowcomment.com/documents/44649?scroll_to=518197 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44649?scroll_to=518197 “You should understand that I would not think of writing your story,” Wambaugh wrote, and he went on: It would be my story. He wants to make it clear that everything you read is his work and not altered by anyone Sun, 15 May 2016 14:55:14 -0400 in Pylon and A Private Life of Michael Foot this statement portrays a very true idea https://nowcomment.com/documents/44648?scroll_to=510373 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44648?scroll_to=510373 My view of moral anarchy consist of not considering any upper authorities and doing what they believe is right according to their values. In pylon, the journalist acknowledges the editor but at the same time does what he has to do, what he felt was going to be of interest and what he felt was important. In Foot, Michael foot despairingly attempted to only preview the good, but the journalist wanted more. Both journalist understood and foresaw what they were getting them selves into, but they continued purposefully, at their own will. Wed, 11 May 2016 07:06:15 -0400 … https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=509051 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=509051 yes, very true. Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:20:32 -0400 it is not always true but i believe that it plays a large role in authenticity, i feel that the reporter who is taking notes, may sometimes leave things out and miss the details where as a recorder picks up all of the conversation, every breath! https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=508350 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=508350 Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:20:32 -0400 she explains the more technical aspects of having a recorder https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=508349 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=508349 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 10:01:48 -0400 yes https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507246 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507246 i agree with you Thu, 07 Apr 2016 15:45:56 -0400 i think that it is slightly deeper then that, but you do reveal some good points. https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507245 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507245 Sat, 09 Apr 2016 10:01:48 -0400 the tape recorder adds tension because now the subject is aware and conscious, that he or she must be extremely careful with what they are saying https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507244 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507244 once there is no recorder, there is comfort between the biographer and the subject. it becomes more intimate and natural Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:20:32 -0400 The trivial things, build the larger picture. intimacy builds when the details are understood and at times maybe even more important then the larger picture. https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507242 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507242 Fri, 08 Apr 2016 07:54:49 -0400 it is difficult, because the life of a person is a touchy, sensitive and personal topic. it is easy to offend, someone close to the subject. https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507236 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507236 the biographer is simply trying to get the true story and it is not all about the glory moments Sat, 09 Apr 2016 07:51:57 -0400 it seems that Ben maybe a hypocrite , explaining that he does not like gossip in a biography , but then exemplifies gossip in the obituary https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507229 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507229 i feel that michael might have known more about the subject, but decided to refrain Fri, 08 Apr 2016 07:52:57 -0400 when he states sharing the same bed i believe he speaking metaphorically. i believe that there is a bit of comedy in this paragraph. michael feels as if the biographer is already deep into his life the least he can https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507213 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46240?scroll_to=507213 keep away from the biographer is his sleeping quarters, probably his only private time. the biographer jokes saying that thats what happens when you have a biographer same bed, almost expressing the profoundness of a biographer, i feel that he almost scared Michael, slyly hinting that this biography will get deep. Fri, 08 Apr 2016 07:50:21 -0400 Micheal seems suspicious and on his tip toes. as a journalist i would respond carefully to attention and analyze behaviors around me https://nowcomment.com/documents/46238?scroll_to=495099 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46238?scroll_to=495099 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 07:47:27 -0500 a romance by which the family falls out of love with you then you are stuck, meaning that once people find out the dirty details and truths they may never look at you the same and fall out of love https://nowcomment.com/documents/46238?scroll_to=495086 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46238?scroll_to=495086 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 07:46:38 -0500 to put in the shit , means to incorporate the dirty truths. https://nowcomment.com/documents/46238?scroll_to=495085 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46238?scroll_to=495085 it is important because it portray the real side to the subject the not so glamour side and some authorized biographies leave it out because they are scared to cause controversy and are trying to avoid a possible sue. i wonder if biographers leave "the shit" out to keep their jobs. Sat, 12 Mar 2016 07:45:05 -0500 a biography that can be risky and glamorize things such as sex and vanity. like those tabloids we see in our local grocery stores https://nowcomment.com/documents/46238?scroll_to=495083 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46238?scroll_to=495083 Sat, 12 Mar 2016 07:42:46 -0500 as a journalist you will recieve all angles of a story, whether if it sounds like gossip or true facts, you must analyze. you will and can get caught in a mess , you must be able to use your best judgement https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495082 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495082 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:47:52 -0500 i feel that these men are almost gossiping about the woman, he mentions that it is not news implying that it is obvious that she gets around. https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495081 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495081 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:43:34 -0500 the reporter did not laugh because he didnt understand the joke or he was in his head for that moment , he seemed distracted by his own thoughts. allowing the two subjects to continue the conversation, with him being there but not completely being there https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495080 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495080 Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:41:07 -0500 a spare as in a a second partner jokingly https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495079 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495079 because if her husband leaves her she'll just call the next one. signifying that she has an open book kind of life Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:36:02 -0500 taking in the relationship of the subjects https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495077 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495077 the reporter must understand his character and position in this story. At the same time acknowledging the other subjects and understanding their associations Sat, 12 Mar 2016 07:51:20 -0500 he is being told to not be so engaged because "He aint our brother" https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495075 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495075 the reporter is crossing boundaries in which he should not, he needs to keep it very strict and simple Sun, 15 May 2016 08:25:14 -0400 an accumulation of something leading to a significant event usually negative since he states that he doesn't really want to do it https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495074 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44058?scroll_to=495074 in this sentence i think he means should get all his information, facts and be prepared to discuss the incident. Fri, 11 Mar 2016 10:16:14 -0500 worshiping a hero is unfavorable to a biography because, it is only focusing on the good https://nowcomment.com/documents/46237?scroll_to=487238 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46237?scroll_to=487238 i believe that a true biography focuses on all aspects of the being. the good, the bad have all made up this person and they should not be ashamed. it shows professionalism and fearlessness in the writer, when they choose to avoid being bias and worshiping this hero. not everyone is perfect,and therefore your imperfections teach you lessons and make you wiser and objective. Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:07:07 -0500 yes friendship is incompatible with journalism. https://nowcomment.com/documents/46237?scroll_to=487234 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46237?scroll_to=487234 once you have a personal relationship with the subject, whether it is positive or negative, you quickly choose a side, without trying. if you enjoy the person you are more likely to write a positive story and so on. a journalist should remain as objective as possible and therefore if there is a friendship going on the subject already wins. it defies the purpose of true heart journalism. Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:03:18 -0500 Gossip is never truly accurate and most of the time bias https://nowcomment.com/documents/46237?scroll_to=487232 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46237?scroll_to=487232 a biography should be factual and avoid rumors, allowing the reader to see the personal aspects. gossip is not credible. gossip maybe justified if the subject discusses it possibly Sat, 21 May 2016 05:46:50 -0400 an Apostate is abandoning a religious or political belief or principle. https://nowcomment.com/documents/46236?scroll_to=487230 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46236?scroll_to=487230 Foot will later, turn on his on beliefs on the disapproval of authorized biographies,once the author begins to get deeper into the life of Foot,regretting his statement Thu, 03 Mar 2016 15:50:20 -0500 the subject is able to review what is being written and gives the writer permission. https://nowcomment.com/documents/46236?scroll_to=487228 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46236?scroll_to=487228 therefore at times the story can be twisted and written in a more positive tone. its almost fictional Fri, 04 Mar 2016 07:53:53 -0500 a person who carries their profession with them day by day https://nowcomment.com/documents/46236?scroll_to=487227 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46236?scroll_to=487227 to be a journalist first means that they are always thinking and acting like a journalist would and that is to find the story in any situation Fri, 04 Mar 2016 07:49:25 -0500 once you are in as deep it is tough to get out, the reporter couldn't get out even if he wanted to https://nowcomment.com/documents/44057?scroll_to=487225 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44057?scroll_to=487225 he states that he cant because he has already been to involved into the story. Th editor doesn't understand because he is used to just the technical aspect of writing and that is more factual , where as the reporter has a deeper meaning behind his writing, it is hard for the reporter to see it black and white. Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:23:49 -0500 The editor remains ethical by stating " i expect you to come in here tomorrow night with an accurate account..." https://nowcomment.com/documents/44057?scroll_to=487212 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44057?scroll_to=487212 He is telling the reporter leave his personality behind and simply provide what is needed; accurate facts. again the reporter must remain professional and follow journalistic guidelines Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:18:59 -0500 The reporter should remain unbiased https://nowcomment.com/documents/44057?scroll_to=487210 https://nowcomment.com/documents/44057?scroll_to=487210 It is not enough for the reporter to write what he saw because, he is able to perceive what he saw in in any tone that is desirable to him, and not to the reader, the editor here wants straight facts that are going to cause a response, he doesn't care what type of response he just wants one. what others tell him maybe subjective or even a lie. the editor expects accuracy and engagement, but not to much to where he looses himself. He also wants the reporter to do whatever he can to make it happen. Fri, 04 Mar 2016 08:15:04 -0500 Based of this passage you can tell https://nowcomment.com/documents/43909?scroll_to=480430 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43909?scroll_to=480430 That the editors are just interested in producing news were the information are newsworthy stories and facts.they are expecting dry clear concise writing that is easy to understand and appealing to the readers. I’m assuming the editors want to be able to reach out to all people where as a Hemingway would only reach the more literature savvy reader. Sat, 27 Feb 2016 15:08:16 -0500 Good point https://nowcomment.com/documents/43909?scroll_to=480428 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43909?scroll_to=480428 Yes this is a good point , describing the separation between him and the policy makers. Fri, 26 Feb 2016 11:16:52 -0500 It's is not easy to satisfy the owners https://nowcomment.com/documents/43909?scroll_to=480415 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43909?scroll_to=480415 The editor is so patient with the reporter because the editor understands The pressures of a reporter and tell it is not simple to satisfy the owners of the newspaper. He describes it as fortunate and unfortunate explaining that he is thankful but at the same time it takes away from the reporters creativity and individualism Sat, 27 Feb 2016 15:06:07 -0500 News contains brevity and conciseness literature will take that away https://nowcomment.com/documents/43909?scroll_to=480410 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43909?scroll_to=480410 There is no room for literature on this paper because when you are conducting news stories the reader does not want to figure out what you're saying they want to no the facts as clearly as possible. News contains brevity and conciseness literature will take that away Sat, 27 Feb 2016 15:03:45 -0500 This interesting did his generousity ever get in the way of you revealing some important information , did this make you more sympathetic ? Since he was being genuine? https://nowcomment.com/documents/46232?scroll_to=468351 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46232?scroll_to=468351 Thu, 11 Feb 2016 09:27:36 -0500 Michael Foot is expecting that the biography will solely be written about the friendly encounters between him and the reporter. https://nowcomment.com/documents/46232?scroll_to=465600 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46232?scroll_to=465600 Michael believes that if he continues this nonchalant attitude, the biographer will slowly deminsh his desires to dig deep and perhaps change the angle of his biography. This clashes with the journalist’s expectations because the journalist is not so easily manipulated and has a different view Mon, 08 Feb 2016 07:36:58 -0500 “Buffering the Bio” https://nowcomment.com/documents/46232?scroll_to=465592 https://nowcomment.com/documents/46232?scroll_to=465592 I believe that “Buffering the biography” meant that Michael was trying to moderate and protect certain experiences and facts from being used as part of the biography. By providing the author with comfort and hospitality he was trying to sway the author into seeing a lighter side of him. This is common in interviews and feature articles and sometimes bought by reporters. Thu, 11 Feb 2016 09:27:36 -0500 I’m picturing an ambitious, trustworthy and eager, reporter. Probably a person who is determined to learn and become a better journalist. it seems as though the editor confines in this reporter https://nowcomment.com/documents/43907?scroll_to=465585 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43907?scroll_to=465585 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 07:42:00 -0500 Sentence 5 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43907?scroll_to=465579 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43907?scroll_to=465579 The editor means that although people are receiving the information, it is still edited and not natural. since a lot of media outlets are owned by rich folks, they have the last say and therefore the editor is expressing that is not the same as what the reporter is catching in the moments of event. it becomes a different news shortly after. I believe that the editor is expecting the reporter to be as raw as possible, because it is the only way the internal people can really know what has occurred before it is changed and altered for external Tue, 23 Feb 2016 07:41:29 -0500 I believe that the sentence is trying to convey the fact that it is natural instinct of a reporter to sense an event to occur, that of an animal. “ you would go straight to them as a crow to a carrion” https://nowcomment.com/documents/43907?scroll_to=465576 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43907?scroll_to=465576 I believe that the sentence portrays the thirst that a reporter has to create a story that he may even instigate it if he had to. This is not realistically speaking, but the sentence is expressing the dramatic eagerness to find a lead or create a story. Mon, 08 Feb 2016 07:38:47 -0500 its a world in which the reporter can never escape, its a world where the reporter will know more then he needs to know, even if he chooses not to. https://nowcomment.com/documents/43903?scroll_to=465563 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43903?scroll_to=465563 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 07:50:16 -0500 What is being said about journalism is the importance of being appealing to the eye. whether your are going to read the article or not you will see it, it will be in your view. https://nowcomment.com/documents/43903?scroll_to=465557 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43903?scroll_to=465557 It as simple as looking at the tabloids in your local supermarket these headings and titles scream at you, and some may read others won’t , but the look has grabbed your attention. Mon, 08 Feb 2016 07:49:10 -0500 I believe that Faulkner expressed that the paper was in the drivers seat to show meaning of control, possibly the control that the media has taken over his life. https://nowcomment.com/documents/43903?scroll_to=465553 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43903?scroll_to=465553 I believe that Faulkner expressed that the paper was in the drivers seat to show meaning of control, possibly the control that the media has taken over his life. Either someone chose to leave it there, or symbolically the paper needed to be in Faulkner’s view. Mon, 08 Feb 2016 07:48:03 -0500 I believe that a style that uses ejaculations, maybe something said suddenly and abruptly. Maybe not to much thought was put into it and looking for a reaction. Made to catch the attention of reader. like large font , boldness and risky wording https://nowcomment.com/documents/43903?scroll_to=465543 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43903?scroll_to=465543 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 07:46:51 -0500 In this text it seems as if he were describing a daily paper of some sort, maybe gossip?. the dog watch sounds like an invesitgative piece https://nowcomment.com/documents/43903?scroll_to=465536 https://nowcomment.com/documents/43903?scroll_to=465536 Mon, 08 Feb 2016 07:46:05 -0500
