Beat Report & Article Links: 1/14

1) Talked to Alex Tyler about news articles. He told me to write some opinion pieces, but to have the article ideas cleared first. He also suggested I write about “press favoritism of Obama” and “the failure of ping pong club”.

2) Wrote “press favoritism of Obama”. going to talk to Connor Goldstein tmrw about “ping pong” club.

Ping Pong article:

http://whshatchet.com/news/2010/01/27/sorry-no-more-ping-pong-club/

I wrote an article about Obama, and the Press, but they have yet to post it up. I shouldn’t be docked for this as the article was written at the beginning of the month.

Blog Post #5: Infographics

Since the Hatchet is a newspaper, I aimed to find a infographic related to the newspaper industry. I found this:

http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2009/03/12/business/20090312-papers-graphic.html

…from the NY Times. The original article was called, “As Cities Go From Two Papers to One, Talk of Zero”.

The article talked about the possibility of a major city having no major print publication. I believe this could be implemented into the Hatchet, in an article possibly about the dangers of not supporting your local newspapers, and why the Internet cannot be the only source for news.  This way, we could convince current print publication readers to continue to so.

Photography Assignment Pt. 2

Junior Tyler Rowe's Fish Toga raised eyebrows on the first day of Spirit Week

In this photo, I used multiple photo composition techniques; mainly close-up detail, but also photo quality control by having him face the light for better exposure.  There is also a creative angle, the subject is facing away from me and is holding a ukelele, which makes the photo more interesting.

Mrs. Pavlecic keeps her students in line on Army Day for the Seniors

Taken 11/2;

This photo, taken in portrait format, utilizes close-up detail of the subject, while also having photo quality control by making sure the classroom forms the background for this photo,  to give this photo a clear setting to match the caption.

The photo on display here utilizes a creative angle, the subject is in clear focus,  and it is close-up enough to get a good amount of detail to make it obvious it is a Freshman celebrating Spirit Week on Sports Day.

Photography Assignment Pt. 1

Photo composition techniques used: close-up detail, the rule of thirds [bottom right corner, girl on left, girl at upper right], and a creative angle.

In this photo I used close-up detail of the subject, also I made sure the focus was on the subject, and the background was not the emphasis of the photo.

ASB President Seth Neumann went full out for the Seniors on Army Day

This photo uses a portrait composition technique, as well as peak of emotion as seen by the excited face of the subject captured in the close-up detail.

I used a portrait format, with close-up detail to emphasize the subject’s outfit as it is the main attraction of the photo.
