This week for JOUR 1111 the lecture was online. This was extremely straightforward and helpful in directing us in how to submit our first piece of assessment, our media use diary online.
It was nice to have the time to ask questions and gain clarity about any outstanding issues. It was helpful to be shown exactly how to create both twitter and g mail accounts and also blogspot, which was obviously a major contributor to the success and submission of the first piece of assessment, and to be walked through the process.

I found this helpful and informative as Bruce spoke clearly and was able to easily guide us through the necessary steps in creating all 3 accounts. It was easy and manageable.
I took the time this week to really read though all lecture slides from past weeks and reviewed material, which I actually really enjoyed and found helpful as it provided the clarity and closure I was after in making sure I understood what was being spoken about in each lecture. It was good for revision and the fact that there was no lecture was a reminder to use this time for review and revision. I did this and found it fruitful.
I am still to fully read the reading for week 6, although I am half way through it and really, really find it the most enjoyable read so far. It is bright and colourful, contributing to the attraction a career in journalism is slowly yet surely creating in me and thus, I hope in other JOUR1111 students also.
The exercises during the tute are helpful, as is being required to work in groups or pairs, as it gives us a chance to inter-relate, bounce ideas back and forth off each other, and share opinions.
It also helps us to analyse what sorts of responses and ideas we have and know how to tackle similar exercises on our own and in our own time. As I have stated previously, I found the tute this week on photographic journalism particularly informative and helpful and feel it will contribute to the strength, description and presentation of the factual story-telling exercise.

The addition of picture and graphic in the article will contribute strongly to the over-all presentation, provide immediate capture of audience attention and help to highlight key points of the story, presenting a quick and easy way for the audience to immediately judge what the story they are about to read about entails. The picture will lift presentation, and seek to draw out key points, It will seek to present information and presentation which gives life, is creative and creates deep and thorough meaning for the accompanying text. Presenting the cover page in a fashion which captures the reader's attention.
Just to re-iterate, I found the tute this week integrating and fun. We looked at power point presentation which showed examples of good and not so good photographic journalism. The not-so-good photographic journalism reuslted in not being able to capture the audience's attention.
The sound lecture this week, regarding radio was great to.! Tips on moving from television to radio were given as Carmel interviewed Richard Fidler, popular ABC local radio personality.
It was interesting to note his speech, tone, demeanour and information he brought to his listeners and how he always seemed to be aware of how he presented, tone of voice and journalistic undertone.
His talk show Conversations, is one that presents a factual story in an interesting way. It is something I could relate to our task of factual story-telling- interviewing technique and framing questions in particular. This was very helpful in noting the different types of media available for us and presentation and modes of story-telling we are being asked to use.

This link goes to podcasts website of Richard Fidler programs which I found interesting. He has a wide genre of material which appeals to demographics of all ages.
RADIO PERSONALITY-RICHARD FIDLER
The Richard Fidler ABC program is a great example and I could definitely draw comparisons between the way Carmel interviewed him, the way both and he and she told a story and how we are required to interview.
Also, the different interviewing techniques used and then the way we engage in the different modes of story-telling by telling a story about someone we know, factually, through different types of story-telling. Conversations is something that I could draw parallels with.
