Paper Topic 1:
Revisit Chapter 12. Review the definition on page 248 of Consensus Journalism.
Consider the news release attached below, “New Jersey Mall Gunman Found Dead Hours After Shooting”.
When this incident was first reported the facts weren’t clear.  Consider another more recent news event and the evolvement of  news reporting.  Consider how technology and immediacy play a role in news reporting — the pressure to be the first to report and how that blurs the lines of fact from fiction.

  1. Where did you first learn of the news?  Consider the medium…name it.
  2. Review news on this event…is there consensus?  How?  or how was information different?
  3. Put this event or a similar tragic event into discussion with the “Magic Bullet Theory”  – in what ways do you think reporting affects public behavior?
