The tool i used is called flickr. Its a online place you can publish photos, and have them under your name so no one can steal your photos. It gives rookie photographers a chance to publish their work.
I used the tool during our provincail vollyball coverage. I uploaded photos of the games so everyone who wasnt here had a chance to see what was going on. the content i included would be a photo and a small captian either the players name or persons name, if they allowed it, or the team. also took picture of opening cerimonies and stuff, so id just say what was going on.
This is a usful program, its nice to have a place to publish photos. It was a good tool for the vollyball project because it was accessable to everyone. pros would be that its easy to use, and you get your work out there. A con would be that its not a safe as it states. You can steel steel of the site.

blog #4 freedom of speech in journalism
Basically, this article talks about a university watching their players/ athletes Facebook pages, and other social networking sites. The universities are worried this public display of what their players do give them a bad name. They have policies in there handbook stating, they athletes and students should not post such photos and comments.
This article doesn’t relate to my life at the moment. One day I do believe either I clean up my networking life or just get rid of it. I’m just a high school kid at the moment so I don’t really care what I post up there. I don’t play sports nor does my employer have Facebook to check up on what I say. If our school came out with a policy like this it would be pointless.
I agree with them, that health and priority wise that players shouldn’t be taking part in drinking and drug’s, but there human and can make their own choices. There’s such thing as a law called freedom of speech, as long as what they say isn’t threatening there’s nothing the schools can do about it. Not posting something on the internet isn’t going to stop something from getting around. People will still see you out drinking. Also people talk to each other, if there angry enough to put it on the internet there angry enough to say it to another person. What are schools going to do next kick someone out for talking to someone else.

blog #2 thinking bout journalist ethics
Journalistic ethics should be important to journalists Because if they don’t follow codes and ethics then how can we trust them, it also gives them a bad name we they don’t care about the people. They should have to consider weither its fair or not They have a responsibility to not say a lie. They have to report the truth. Journalist should not be able to just say anything if I could offend people, or get somebody in trouble. Also i think the person has a right to know what’s going to be put into the paper. theres also some things that should leave out. Reporters and the interveiw subject should have a strictly business relationship, you shouldn’t know the person on a personal level because that but a bias opinion on it.
blog #1 death of news papers
I have been informed that before the internet got popular ( way back in the day ) there was this thing called a newspaper. Sadly this will be what my child will say. We as a society have noticed how much easier it is to go on the internet, or to watch tv, text message, or a simple phone call. Information is at the tips of our fingers or the tips of our tongue at all times. The main question is should we care if there’s not a news paper? Will people miss the news paper? In my opinion its not fair to everyone to assume that newspapers are not read. I know a lot of people who read news papers who will be in shock if there’s no longer one to read. Is it fair to assume that everyone knows how to use a computer, or everyone can afford a tv. Yes its faster to just log onto your computer and click the internet, but can you trust the source, do you realize how easy it is to put up information on the computer? Is it safe to let go, and put news papers in the past? or is it already to late?
blog #3 journalistic freedoms
Say you open up your newspaper or you click the internet, and horrible graphic images come up of your friend who recently died in and accident, how would you feel. Sadly we struggle with journalist freedom. Where should we draw the line? journalist should have the freedom to inform the people of the truth, of the facts. I think it should be there responsibility to judge what is fair to the people tho, they should have enough judgment to know how the stuff they write/ show is going to affect the audience. Freedom of the press should not be unlimited. We should be able to trust in the press (at least about natural/ or man-made disasters) internet press can be as free as they want to be, there’s nothing stopping them. But being in a small community where everyone knows everyone, i think that we care a little more concerned of what we post. Be your own judge.

In our school, we had journalism subject that learn about the techniques or important things that we used if we are going to be a journalists and sometimes we had a activities to interview other students or teachers but we don’t need to have a permit that we are going to interview someone so we have a freedoms to do that.

Major New Study Shatters Stereotypes about Teens and Video Games
Many teens play computer, console, or cell phone games so the Pew Internet & American Life Project had a survey and it’s a project of Pew Research Center and supported by the MacArthur Foundation.
They survey about 1,102 youth ages 12-17 and many American teens play some kind of games like action, adventure, racing, puzzle, sports and etc. and it says that 99% of boys are gamers and 94% of girls are reported that they play games. And some teens play violent video games, some teens playing games where they learn about a problem in society, 32% of youth 12-16 play games that are listed inappropriate only for adult and 32% says one of their favorite games is rated Mature or adults only.
When I read this article, I think that many teens are addicted so I think some of them are addicted and it’s bad for us because it affects our education and I experience when I have a PSP and I wake up in the morning to play my games and I’m not going to eat breakfast because of the games and also it affects our body, for example our eyes the radiation of the screen in PSP direct it in our eyes. But now, I stop to play games if I have school but I play only weekend so we have a time management to play or study.
I agree with this survey because I know that many teens want to play video games and our parents have a concerned to their children if they play matured games or for adults only because sometimes they are going to do it to their brother or sister like wrestling it’s not bad if we play it but we have to be older or you have to be 15+ to play this game so if our parents are going to buy a video games, they have to be sure that it’s ok for their children.
