Response ii- Newsapers
What I learned form this lecture was that newspapers were made in 59 B.C.E, over 2,000 years ago. It took about a thousand years for a monthly newspaper to come into action, and eventually weekly, and then daily. One thing that surprised me was that "muckraking" was actually a concept and not some made up term. I already knew about how John Peter Zenger had ignited the freedom of Press, in a way, which is a major key to journalism. His trial was one of the most important for Early America, and helped improve the aspect of journalism. I never thought about newspapers being nonlinear, which really changed my point of view on the Press, also. I also found out a bunch of reasons of why newspapers are still alive today. One could say, "arguably", that newspapers are dying. The biggest reason of why they are still alive is because of the tradition that they build throughout all generations. They are also portable, cheap, and sharable, which are also key characteristics of why we use them now.
