STEVE AOKI CONCERT

The long awaited Steve Aoki concert finally came to pass on 11/10/2012. The best Techno DJ Steve Aoki  finally came through at The MET club Brisbane at the Valley. Entrance fee was $30 and you were assured of one hell of a party and fun. The setting was lovely and the club was packed to its nines. There were so many people and by 1:00 am it was hard to breathe.
The man himself came out and filled the crowd with sheer madness as he sprayed the party-goers with champagne then later threw cake to the crowd before starting his DJ set which consisted of the latest house and techno music.
I took a couple of pictures of the crowd and the DJ himself....
Here are the Pics enjoy :-))

Lecture - News Values

This lecture was quite interesting here we discussed the meaning of news values, threats and the future for news values.
News values is the degree of prominence a media outlet gives out and the result / attention given by the audience.
News Values are the following:
1. Impact
2. Audience identification
3. Pragmatics
4. Source influence
"News journalism has a broadly agreed set of values, often referred to as newsworthiness." A. Boyd (1994)


FORMAT OF NEWS DELIVERY
Most newsworthy information ---> Important details ---> Other general information ---> Background information.


NEWSWORTHINESS: THE FACTORS

1.  Negativity - should carry bad news not only the good.
2. Closeness to home - News should be geographically close to audience and talk about people.
3. Recency - Breaking news
4. Currency - news must be valuable
5. Continuity - must be prolonging news.
6. Uniqueness - news should be unusual
7. Simplicity - delivered in a simple and easy to understand format
8. Personality - News should carry a kind of personality
9. Size - Should be of appropriate size.
10. Exclusivity - News should be exclusive.
