After reading Seyda Muratova’s blog response on a news story
covering a bullying case something was brought to my attention. Currently,
bullying is a largely discussed and debated topic. I thought to myself,” What
are news organizations doing to help widespread issues?” Then I realized
something… It’s not the news organizations job to create awareness for an
issue. One thing that is there job is to report on issues that have a large and
long lasting impact. So where is the line drawn? At what point and who decides
what social issues should be published in news outlets? I would like to learn
more about these perspective news stories in class. My best guest at how these
stories become newsworthy is through the way they are covered. I would like to
learn the different types of coverage styles and the approaches we can take as
journalist.
