Clear Channel owns most of the airwaves. At the beginning of the article, I did not like the issue with Agnew and Clear Channel. I do not think one company should own most of the airwaves, and how they can make up a price for advertisements. When one company owns most of the radio stations, they can make advertisers pay whatever they want because advertisers do not have a choice if they want their advertisements to be heard by everyone. It also can make for radio to become very bias because it is all the same company's opinions.
The only good thing I read in the article is that it makes it easy for managers of bands to put on a tour across the country. If Clear Channel owns most of the amphitheatres, by making one phone call to Clear Channel, you can book your tour across the country. The bad thing, just like with advertisers, is that they can give you any price they want, but this is better than having to call mulitple companies and booking.

Critique of other classmate's websites
First I want to start off saying, "I hope no one is offended by my critiques! Who cares what i think about them haha!"
Taryn's page is fun. She has pictures, a scrolling menu, flash movie, an update on her engagment. I like it!
Ryan's page: I think Ryan's main site page is very plain. It's all words with a few links. He doesn't have a scroll menu or flash movie!
Diana's site is cute. Not as nice as Taryn's, but still cute. She has a flash movie, and a scrolling menu! I really like her photo page. It is nice and neat, and fun to look at!
Alicia's page: Everything is centered in a line. Her page is fun, but i would put things across the page instead of a line. Overall good, but the "blog" button in her scroll menu doesn't have the rollover different button thing.
Angela's site is cool. I like how it's black and white with her title in blue. One thing I noticed on Alicia and Angela's site is that neither made another page for their video yet. When you click them, they don't do anything. Others have made a page that says under construction or something like that.
Arvind has no page lol!
Kiesten's site: I really like how she has a distored picture as the background!
Linzi's site is really nice. I like it. One problem is that her links in her scroll menu are not working. I can only go to her blog. I would have put her little bio under her pictures to help with the flow. Overall really nice!
Heather's page: I really like the colors and how she has an interest page and ambitions page. Her page is in a staight line too. Her page is very nice, one can get to know her just by going to her page.
Liz's page is very nice and neat, easy on the eyes. I like it, but she is another that has inactive links from her scrolling menu.
Shana's website is nice, but none of her links in her scroll menu link to anywhere?
Nothing on Kristin's webpage seems to work, but something may just be wrong with this computer? I don't know.
Overall, I like my page the best, but there are somethings on other people's pages that I like.
I like Diana's photo page the best. I like Taryn's charities and organizations page, and I like Heather's ambitions and interests page!

"Final blog entry"
I loved my Emerging Media class! I enjoy learning new computer programs, building a webpage, editing photos. If I had these programs at home, I would not have a social life beyond networking on the computer. I would constantly build a website, and further my skill on these programs. Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, and GoLive were all fun to work with. My mom always asks me what I would like for Christmas; I'm thinking I want all this software!
I believe that having knowledge in these programs will be very benifcial when jobseeking. All these programs are opening up new job opertunities that recent college graduates in the media will be great for. I wish there was an Emerging Media Practice 2 class that I could take that would teach me more things on the programs and new programs! I'm such a media nerd...

My video
My video for my website will most likely be a how to video... I will record Bryan A. while he teaches you how to play a song on the guitar. I am still thinking about it, but most likely it will be that. I would just find a video on youtube or something that i like, but i don't want any copyright/plagerism issues!

Current.tv
I am really interested in traveling and I found a cute/short pod on a guy in traffic in India. They drive the tiniest little cars, and there is no stop signs. It is complete confusion. Check it out here.
Web design Critique
I have found a really bad website and a really good website for you to look at the difference...
Really bad website:I chose this website because it is a complete mess. The American Press is the newspaper here in Lake Charles, LA. The page is extremly messy. There are adds everywhere and no focal point. When you go to a page, you want to be able to find what you are looking for right away, and this page does not allow you to do so. It is also an example of an unorganized website we used in class.
Really neat website: I chose yahoo.com as my organized website. It has a ton of information for you that is very easy to navigate through. Nice and Neat!

My Podcast
My podcast was going to be an update of television shows. I go to school and work full time so it is hard for me to watch the tv shows I want. My Podcast was going to be a way for people to catch up on certain tv shows, but I decided to do a movie review insted because I think this will be a lot less time consuming. Be sure to check out my website and my podcast!

EPIC movies
The Epic movie we watched in class last week showed the future of the media. I do believe that all news will be accessable on the web, which it pretty much is. I do not believe that this will get rid of print. Many people like reading their newspaper whereever and whenever. I know I rather read print then on the internet, but I know I can find any story on the internet quickly and easily.
I thought it was revoltionary for a magazine to put pictures of their subcribers home personalizing each of their magazines with the headline we can see you. I think that probably freaked out most of their subcribers, but it shows you what all you can do easily on the internet.
The media and technology are growing very quickly, I believe many good things will come from this, but also that many bad things could also.

Podcasts!
E! Onlines Hollywood Party Girl and Gossip Boy posts a weekly podcast on iTunes. Anyone who loves celeb gossip and trash will love their podcast. It is all about going to all the parties and premiers and the gossip on all the celibrities. How they get ready for an event, what they like to drink, or who they like to go out with. This weeks podcast is about Kim, Kloe and Kourtney Kardashian and their new reality show Keeping up with the Kardashians. I hope you enjoy.
Copyright and Regulation
The fact that someone can take someone else's article, turn it around completly, say you interviewed the orginal article's writer when in fact you did not, and publish it as your own is horrible. It is not like stealing a possesion because if that is stolen, you are without and worse off. If someone steals your ideas, you still have them. What is lost? Nothing, but if someone publishes your ideas then there should be a copyright law against it. They should be fined or you should be compensated.
Intellectual property has a whole different set of laws then physical property. It has copyright, patent, and trademark. Technology is allowing intellectual property to be spread all over the web and airwaves. Who is to say who said it first?
Pirarcy is a big problem. There are so many ways to download or burn CDs and DVDs of music and movies these days. It makes it really hard to regulate all of it or punish people for it. This is really bad for artists, entertainment companies are losing a lot of money.
Apple's iTunes is excellent at helping regulate copyrighted music and movies. You have to download it from them and pay a fee. Apple even has a group on facebook that will send you free downloads or give you a discount. There are other sites like iTunes that help this too.
I do not believe that there is way to get rid of illegal file sharing all together. I think people will always find a way to do it.
In high school, I used to be a regular to download music. I did not know it was illegal back then. The reason that I do not download music from Kazaa or Napster anymore is not because it is illegal, but that I would rather not get any viruses on my computer. My brothers and I stoped downloading music years ago when my mom would have to pay someone to clean out the computer drive all the time. I know there used to be a ton of viruses on those sites.

Celebutants! #3
The Teen Choice Awards aired Sunday (Aug. 26) on FOX and all our favorite yound celebrities were there except our three favorite women to read about in the gossip columns. Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Paris Hilton were nominated for the "Newsmaker of the Year" award. Lohan for her recent DUI, Spears for her head shaving craziness, and Hilton for her recent 26 vacation in jail. The three young ladies' publicists went into a frenzy with Fox and Fox got rid of the category on the show all together. Bummer!
Revolutionary #2
Revolutionary Changes...
Loss of Privacy: Although revolutionary, it is scary how easily the government or an ordinary person can find out information about you.
The Death of Distance: No one things about long distance calling anymore. There are many ways to get in touch with family, friends or random people all over the world for free.
Improved Writing and Reading Skills: texting, Email, myspace, facebook, and AIM or only a few of the ways young people communicate with others. They are writing constantly which is improving their skills.
