Taiwan news media

1. What is the main message of Group 9's podcast topic?

They disscussed about the quality of Taiwan news media.


2. Did their show provide solutions to the problem? What are they?

Of couse. There are two solutions provided, one way is choosing and telling good news to be choice, an d the other way is avoiding some bad effect of news like violent or suicide news. Because we have the right to choose what we watch, telling right from wrong news carefully.


3. Comment on the group's podcast.

Basically, this show is a good show to hear, especially at night, because the host and guest both 0wn sweet voice. Speaking of two hosts, their speed and fluency is good, so I can hear very clearly. On the other hand, some of the guests have to improve their speed and pronouce, actually, some of the guests own clear voice and well speed, one of the guests have sweet voice, but the problem is unclearly voice make her like eat someting. Furthermore, the backgound music is interesing and correspondent beacuse they combined the topic and lyrics together, for example,they played the music and the lyrics had"doctor" when they talked about doctor. They do not have too much funny place so make me a little bit feel boring, maybe they can add some funny part to make us refresh our mind. The commercial they played is not enough, I expected more. Mention to the commercial, I think the voice of the actor is too high, if she change the weird way to show, the show should be more cofortable and hormonious to hear. By the way, I like the voice and the engergy of one of the host, and the pronoucing, pacing and fluency all great.



4. What do you think?

4. 1 Search the Internet and look for the meaning of 'yellow journalism'
- What is the definition of 'yellow journalism'?

Yellow journalism is a type of journalism that downplays legitimate news in favor of eye-catching headlines that sell more newspapers. It may feature exaggerations of news events, scandal-mongering, sensationalism, or unprofessional practices by news media organizations or journalists. Campbell (2001) defines Yellow Press newspapers as having daily multi-column front-page headlines covering a variety of topics, such as sports and scandal, using bold layouts (with large illustrations and perhaps color), heavy reliance on unnamed sources, and unabashed self-promotion. The term was extensively used to describe certain major New York City newspapers about 1900 as they battled for circulation. By extension the term is used today as a pejorative to decry any journalism that treats news in an unprofessional or unethical fashion, such as systematic political bias.


This news is a typical sensational news of idol, we nearly watched the news related to the First season of Super Star Avenue every day last year. It is the media too exaggerate played and the frequency is also too much.
