Essential Question

1) How strong of an effect does the media have on a person's belief? Can the media change ones belief on an issue?


2)

•  I chose this as my essential question because I have noticed that people have many different views and are not willing to change their views no matter what one person says. I want to see if the media has some effect on changing their mind or solidifying their belief.  
• What excites me most about is that I get to go out in to the world and ask and find many different opinions. Hall county is a lot more polarized than people think.
• Yes because I want to find out how much of an influence the media has on someones day-to-day life.

Youth face many challenges today. Youth may seem to lack the responsibility and strong work ethic to actually have a job, yet that is not the case for many young adults. Many youths are hard working (at least most of my friends are) and love to work. They set goals and that ultimate goal is to make money. Social intelligence is showing character and caring for others. Social intelligence is key for any person trying to be friendly, personable, and well mannered. Being presentable spoke to me the most. In my internship it is all about grabbing the viewers attention and making them want to read more about it. You have to be presentable.

This past month at The Times was very informative. I learned a lot of new things while at The Times. I kept learning about how to write AP style which is quite different from your regular style of writing you were taught in school. I got out in to the field and reported on articles and took pictures and videos. I have helped one of my mentors by helping her write articles for the "Get Out" section of The Times.
One class that has helped me would be AP U.S. History. That class has helped me become a better writer.

The goal I have met while at The Times is to get known in the community, because the only to get places in film and broadcast journalism is to have connections and know people.

Ways I have made my supervisors life easier is we help her write articles for the Get Out page about what is going on in the community

My Profile- I am a senior and high school and I am lucky enough to have received all the opportunities this year. I am planning to attend college and dual major in political science and either broadcast journalism or communication. I plan to go on to law school after that and hopefully get a career in the broadcast journalism industry or government. 

My internship- I found my internship after my first one did not work out so well. I currently intern at The Gainesville Times as a reporter for The Young edge. We write articles every week. We try and publish a article over every medium ranging from print, internet, and videos. I mainly specialize in video production. I help film, interview, and edit.
