    could a funny article like this work for the tam news? do you believe the comedic article effectively made a point? did anyone get offended by this article, if so why?

    I love this. I love that it shows a long standing issue in a clever and fresh way. I also now feel horrible about loving Say Yes To The Dress.

    While reading this article, I primarily had your question "could a funny article like this work for the tam news?" in the back of my mind. Perhaps to a lesser degree, an article like this could work. For example, a hard core photo-kid could for one period forget that they're a photo-kid and out try auto shop or something. I'm not sure if it would have the same effect (<correct?) but I think it would still make an interesting read.

    I really enjoyed this article. I agree that an article like this has some potential to be part of the Tam News, but may need to be toned down a bit. I think it could work though because you can take a topic that is important to someone (such as feminism) and make a light-hearted piece about it. It would definitely make for interesting read.

    I loved this article. It was unlike most other feminist articles in that it wasn't serious or angered (not that I don't enjoy reading angry feminist articles), but it was able to point out many examples of pop culture objectifying and insulting women. I think this article very effectively made it's point, not only in that the media is very disrespectful towards women, but also that for women and men fighting against these standards, it is very tiresome. I'm sure if we found a writer sarcastic and funny enough, and a topic worthy of being made fun of, that a successful article like this could be written for the Tam News. I don't see why it couldn't.

Guns in Class for Teachers - 71 views

If teachers are crazy enough to deal with a bunch of teenagers, then I wouldn't say all teachers are completely sane. I would not feel safe at all if all my teachers had a gun in the classroom. I r...

I think cartoons are a great way to convey a message that may be controversial. Just like humor, artwork can be used to soften the blow, or in this case, make it more biting. We have the ability to...

56 Ways of Saying I Don't Remember - 4 views

  •  
    I personally am amazed that such a simple idea for a video had such an emotional effect on me. What do you think? Is this too repetitive a peice? Is this unique and innovative type of video project a new way to explore an opinion piece? Or, is this just 'too artsy" a video to be considered journalism, and should the Tam news stick to more tradition video projects? What are your thoughts?
  •  
    This video got to me as well, especially the quote "Sorry i'm so stupid". I thought the repetition is what made it powerful and thought provoking so I didn't mind it at all, especially since to me it told a kind of sad story watching all of the clips and how they were edited together. I can't picture the Tam News doing anything like this but I think branching out is an excellent idea if we want to start eliciting a more emotional response out of students.
