Week 9: Topic 2

Topic 2:

I don’t think it will be very successful. I don’t think many people listen to the radio anymore. Most everyone that I have driven in a car with at Linn Benton plays music off of their phones or plays country music. Maybe kids I don’t really know would listen to it but I don’t think the radio is big for college kids. Personally I would not listen to it. I also think that the music that most kids like now-a-days are not radio material.

The only way I see a radio station being successful at Linn-Benton is to either build a station around bringing people up and having more of a motivation station, or have it just play todays pop hits non stop. People are not into talk radio as much as the older generation is. It is something that is dying down fast. With Apple music and Spotify being huge, everyone is just listening off of that. Its hard for me to give full feedback to what would help when I don’t really see it becoming a big thing at Linn-Benton. Maybe the radio station could offer kids with musical talent at Linn-Benton to get the chance to play their music on the radio station. Give local kids trying to make it in music, the chance to get it out there.


For funding I would tell the board that we want to build a radio station that can 1) be a phone service for kids at the school that need someone to talk to. 2) have motivational speakers on the show daily to help kids listen and remember who they are and what they are striving for. 3) let local bands and artists get to put their music on the station to try to get their music out there. Can give kids who don’t have much something to look forward to.

Week 5: Topic 1

Topic 1: 1)          After watching the video, the first thing that really surprised me and caught me off guard was how many groups and artists have stolen the beats from older songs. When he first plays the loop of a Led Zeppelin song and the loop of a Muddy Waters song, you can tell that Led Zeppelin used some of the beats and words. Also the Rolling Stones taking some from the song “this may be the last time” recorded by a folk group in the late 50’s. These are two top bands that are widely known for their music and some of them isn’t even their original stuff. I love these bands and to see that kind of ruins the originality of their music. About a minute farter into the video it talks about the “happy birthday” theme song being a copyright issue, where if you play that in public you technically own royalties. I myself would owe tons of royalties. The next surprising information I learned that personally effected me, is the shut down of Napster. I used to use Napster back before i

Week 1 Topic 2

Topic 2: My three main source of information are Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. These are my go-to resources because they are so quick and easy to access. I am also already on those websites to connect with friends. While I am on there to do that there happens to be access to many different areas that I can pick up on the latest news. People tweeting about it or posting about something that happens in the world. I log onto twitter and it pops up the top streaming topics through hashtags. It could say something like #chicagoshooting and all I have to do it click it and it takes me to tons of different areas to read about what happened. If I am watching the news or something to her this information, I have to go through commercials and wait for the juicy news details. When answering the question "How reliable is the information?" it becomes difficult. I do not believe everything I see on social media because a lot of information put on there is very bias towards what is h

Week 5: Topic 2

Topic 2: Topic 2: 1)          I believe that what WikiLeaks is good and bad and here’s why. What WikiLeaks does that is good is not let people be in the dark, while the government tries to hide stuff from the public. Seeing videos of how our government acts in foreign countries gives people an idea of where they are living and who they are living under. The government has hidden tons of information from the people, and to have someone ballsy enough to step up and show us the true colors is good. The bad side is not everyone needs to know everything. There are some things that are good not to know, you learn that when you grow up. Leaking a video of our military shooting people over seas can release a ton of conflict with our society, splitting them up into different sides of who agrees with it and who doesn’t. Another bad reason is that some videos can be released and seen in different parts of the world. If Kenya has been killing people and we release it to America to see and Keny
