Thanks to technology anyone can report anything, but the importance of reporting is to keep bias out in the articles you report.

To do this the reporter must place What they know about the subject and what they can support with data and facts. Into the article only.

Make sure that the story that is being reported meet the need of the editor who gets the final say. Make sure you have more the one source of information about the story in which is being reported.

Also if a reporter using a statement for a story feel free to research the story to make sure that person is telling the truth.

The fear of outbreaks

There are many shows/movie, in today’s day, that emphasize survival during outbreaks. There is a plethora of movies that show this like Outbreak, Contagion, The Walking Dead, and Quarantine. The entertainment industry has romanticized outbreaks, in their many forms, but is any of it legitimate?

Outbreaks are a popular fear among individuals, but is this fear validated. In the Washington Post article, Five myths about outbreaks, we learn five myths that debunk the idea of the popular franchise of outbreaks.

The myths are as follows:

  1. A pandemic on the scale of Spanish flu is unlikely today FALSE
  2. Most adults don’t need the annual seasonal flu vaccine FALSE
  3. Some of the deadliest pathogens don’t pose an imminent threat FALSE
  4. We need bigger vaccine stockpiles to halt outbreaks FALSE
  5. Closing our borders will keep the nastiest bugs out FALSE

While we may be closer to a zombie outbreak than we think, some individuals have taken a look at what may start said outbreak. YouGov.us reports the following results of a poll, in their article The Zombie Apocalypse, of what will most likely cause a zombie outbreak.

“As for why there would be a zombie apocalypse in the first place, it’s a close choice between “A scientific experiment gone awry that turns humans into zombie-like creatures” (19%) and “The spread of a parasite that turns its victims into zombie-like creatures” (17%). Least popular reasons: “A toxic chemical spills into the ground and causes the dead to rise” (8%), “There is no room in hell, so the dead have to roam the Earth” (4%), and “The dead have nothing better to do than rise and attack” (3%).”

Class website

So for my photo gallery I made an interactive website for our class. I used a site called weebly.com to do this. It is very easy to make a site there because most of the elements are drag and drop, no coding required.

To make the gallery interactive I first needed the profile pictures of everyone from the class, I just clicked on everyone’s blog and saved their profile picture, four people didn’t have on though. Once all of the pictures were in the gallery it was just a matter of making sure that the pictures were hyperlinked to the correct person’s blog. The site is running on weebly for free to look at.stuff

 

Data set and why interesting

Pew research center is a source that researchers random events.

This “Center is a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes, and trends shaping the world. We conduct public opinion polling, demographic research, content analysis and other data-driven social science research.”

Here is an example of some data about women who never-married women in their early 40s have given birth

Here is the article listed  They’re Waiting Longer, but U.S. Women Today More Likely to Have Children Than a Decade Ago

This article shows data on the motherhood and family size listed below

After decades of decline, motherhood and family size are ticking up

This article was interesting on how they gathered the information on them and use it in an educational way for the future of the children. The article shared this information.

“The share of all women ages 40 to 44 without a bachelor’s degree who are mothers has held steady over the past two decades while increasing among those with more education. As of 2014, 82% of women at the end of their childbearing years with a bachelor’s degree were mothers, compared with 76% of their counterparts in 1994.”

Slowly an increase of receiving bachelor degrees vs none like earlier years has been a challenge.

women have now gained work for a better future for the children and they may end up following their parents and going to college after school.
