Ella's perception of the media response task was different, I noticed, than most others. While reading my classmates' blogs, I noticed that they responded to individual stories they found on their news stations. However, Ella responded to her source as a whole.
It is very well known that every news source has a remarkably high amount of crime stories. This is true especially compared to the other story categories. Ella admitted to knowing this is highly stated. However, she knows it is still important to talk about. Ella did very well portraying this information in a way that made it more interesting. She used details that most people usually don't point out when discussing the abundance of crime stories.
Not only did she use mathematical data to support her claim, but she also explained her point of view about why this is so. Whereas most people say that there are too many crime stories and the media is just trying to blow up the subject, Ella believes these stories are important. It seems crime is becoming a more and more prominent issue and it is important that everyone is aware. Ella made a very valid point that many people take for granted that they live in a safe area and assume that no crime will ever face them. however, that is untrue, and people need to know that.
I agree with Ella that we must be informed about the many fatal crimes in our area. Many people disagree. If you would like more information to form your own opinion, i suggest you read Ella Treinen's well written blog post entitled "Hiding From Reality".
