blog prompt 4

so....To what extent do the best selling UK newspapers cover stories related to serious issues? To what extent would you think that it is their role to do so? In your opinion does the tabloid media and 'low budget entertainment' (reality shows, soaps) have too much power and influence in this country?

in my view of this the media hw so much influence in what ever in happening at that particular time. this cloud be a serious issue or juss enterainment. and i also feel that the newspapers cover mostly the stories that get brieng them money, and these cld be stories that attract a variety of age groups. for example stories about footbollers and thier wifes. so i would personaly say to a lower extent the newspapers in UK stories are related to serious issues. however i think this is their duty or role to keep pleople informed of serious issues at all time no matter if the issue do benefit them in amy way. and i also think because they are so many people watching the soaps and reality shows like x factor . this has now more power and influence in this country. we get a high number of viewings of these programmes so the media and mainly the newspapers start focusing on thoses stories and keeping people updated on those stories because they feel that will get loads of papers bought which to a high extent is true.

Al Gore (prompt 2)

wel al gore is a man with money and time on his hand. he may have done this just as an activiety to keep his live going and to raise his popularity. however he seem to know very well wat he was talking about but i didnt not see and evidence or back up references to his theory of climate change.
on the other hand he might have just trying to prove a point to people that if he could have been the present live may have been different. trhe fact that some else won then he is now trying to prove a point to people that his focus was not only to run in the white and economic but the climate change as well.
i found the film well presented and informative but i didnt not see any truth in it. if only he had involved proffessors , scientists and professionals in climate change then it was going be a bit influancial to me. but it could been seen as infuencial to people who know more about climate change because they will be keen to question his film.
