THE PRESS SPHERE


Honestly, I found Jarvis’s article confusing. I wasn’t sure which model ‘me’ or ‘press’ he agreed was a more accurate representation. I’m pretty sure he referred to the ‘press sphere’ as a type of model in which the press controls everything including the news.

When Jarvis referenced links from our peers I related it to Facebook. I find a lot of stories that I read through Facebook. Jarvis states that, “The press may be involved and may create a news story.” He is trying to discredit the press for all of the credit they give themselves. I don’t really agree with Jarvis. If not for the press, what stories would our friends be showing us a “link” to. On the other hand, I guess I can kind of see where Jarvis is coming from. I think he tries to show that it is an effort of many different aspects that creates news – not just the press. I agree with Jarvis in that commentary from observers adds perspective to news. I am always reading comments on anything I look at. I love how interactive it is and how wholesome it makes a story.   

I hope after a class discussion I will have a better understanding of Jarvis and his 'press-sphere'.

    I like how you related Jarvis's mention of links to Facebook. I found your comment to be extremely accurate. I might have understood Jarvis differently, but I do hope we clarify it in class today. See you later! :)
