20. Pre-screening

I never knew about the youtube screening section but I find myself wanting to watch more videos than the one I just watched.

I watched Sister Wife, this pulled at me, following the show quite a bit on TLC called Sister Wives. She is talking about growing up in a poly family and she was invited to marry her biological sisters husband to create their own poly family. This sister has no feeling of love or passion for this, man she is marring him and she find herself bottling her negative feelings up. These sisters are sharing a man and rotating him every night with what sister he is staying with. She tries to describe her feeling of watching her husband, which is also her sisters husband, kiss another woman knowing that she can't make that stop.

I have never personally understood this lifestyle as something I would want for myself but I do see the benefits of it. There is constant support system raising your children but in saying this all wives have to be unity and agreement to make this type of marriage work.

19. WB Tour!

The WB Studio, is by far my favorite tour that we have seen! I love seeing movies when they first come out, but the museum is my favorite. Being able to go in and see actual props and costumes would be amazing! Next time my husband and I go to visit my in-laws out in California we HAVE to plan a trip here to see everything!

18. Weather Channel

I have to say that I like the weather channel tour set up a little more. This tour is more interactive, if you are not interested in looking at the work desk you do not have to. I love the way there is more details about how the back ground screens work and how the decorating (walls and carpet) are actually environmentally friendly.  I would expect nothing else from a weather station to be a green place, but all the aspects that are able to be considered green surprised me.

17. New York Times

I have to say that I have never had an interest in New York Times, but looking at this video makes the building itself more appealing. I love the garden in the middle, seems like a great place to have lunch to to sit and have a conference call to stay focused, or even to just sit there for 10 minutes to refocus yourself. The view is also amazing! If you were lucky enough to have an office that high, it would be relaxing to come in to that everyday!

16. Studio Tour

Blue Jay - I am no impressed with this website at all. If you are trying to sell and promote your studio online, I think you need to have appealing graphics. When the tour of the studio plays that pictures are overlaid with graphics that are in the way.

Soho - This site is so much compared to the first one I looked at! Everyone that would be involved in the media being produced  is listed on the site and what they are specialized in. There is a list of client which means that you would be able to listen to their works to make sure this producer is who you want to work with.

Radio Ready - My first and only thought about this is that its on Myspace... No one uses this anymore and you may want to find a different media site to get your business out there.

Pachyderm - This the most informing studio site. There are lists of what equipment will be used and not only are there pictures of the studio but an actually floor plan is provided.

After going through all the studios there provided I think I would still chose Soho. There are is alot of information and you are introduced to the staff before getting there in person! It seems to be more professional as well. Pachyderm would be my next choice of course!

15. State of Media

The percentages that are noted in this site are not surprising to me at all. I know that I personally do not pay for the newspaper. The only reason we recieve it is because in Derby, Ks there are certain issues that everyone gets. If I want to see what is going on, I follow up with the Kake and KSN news pages on facebook. Social Media is taking over the world faster than I think most people realize. Here is Derby it is nice to be able to get the local news only in our paper but in a bigger city like Kansas City, the paper is insanely overwhelming every morning. 

Here are some stats that really jumped out to me while reading over the provided website.

• Newspaper went down by 33%
• Presidents are using Social media more now during Campaigns
• 54% of users get their news via their phones

14. Ethical Decision Making

I have always considered myself to be an ethical person, but until you really have to sit down and explain what you would do in a specific situation you almost have to reconsider how ethical you really are. Something that comes to mind when reading the Privacy section with the heading of Naming a Rape Victim, part of me says yes release the names and pictures lets get this kids back home, but the other part of me is wondering if the attacker sees this is he/she going to continue to abuse this child. This is also a question that needs to be asked of the parents, do they want their name and pictures released publicly or just to the authorities. This is a very sensitive subject that has to be handled this way. In the provided story the child was recovered and her attacker was arrested, but is every story going to be this lucky? Are we going to have copy cat attackers? If we release this picture will the child endure more?

The questions provided are great questions that need asked but so do mine.
