Mark Potts, Recovering Journalist blog, on part 1 talks about mentions how the innovation of online video such as YouTube as another way of informing people of news. An example Potts uses is The New York Time’s, David Pogue, his guerilla-style videos get attention with his humor and personality. Now millions of people are watching these videos through the popularity of YouTube. Another good point that Potts mention is how print news should showcase newsroom personalities in videos that will entertain and inform. I personally like getting my news on T.V and other shows that I watch that inform me on some news is The Daily Show with John Stewart. He makes news comedic and entertaining and could be good way to get the youth to want to watch the news.
The creation of the iPhone has also been another way for media to reach people. There are different applications for different niches such as for sports, whether, celebrity news, fashion, world news and local news. The Weather Channel and MLB are two of many media applications that are being used. The MLB application has scores, states, video, and other tools for the baseball fans. I own an iPhone and I installed The New York Times and I really like it because when I don’t have the chance to pick up the latest copy this application does gives me the latest news through my phone, which I think is more convenient for me.
What holds for the future of journalism is that print media will decrease, but online media will increase. Television media will remain the same and telephones will be another way for media awareness. These new ideas only prove my point in why I want to work for a tech company. Technology is always changing and is the future.

Automakers seek $14 Billion more vowing deep cuts

A squirrelly Situation
A squirrel gets electrocuted on the Metro-North Railroad causing a huge tie-up on Monday’s afternoon mass transit commute from Manhattan. NY.
According to Donna Evans, spokeswomen for Metro-North said that the squirrels adventurous pass through the power lines caused an electrical surge. That weakened an overhead bracket causing a wire from the overhead bracket to dangle down and envelop on a train passing underneath that ended up tearing down all the lines.
About 47,000 rail commuters waited for hours for trains, but they never came. Service was restored by crews Tuesday morning.

Achoo Tamed? Study Decodes the Cold Virus
I read this article on Friday in the NY Times about how there is a possible cure for the “common cold” also known as the rhinovirus. According to Nicholas Wade, he states researchers said Thursday that they decoded the genomes of the 99 strains of the common cold virus and developed a catalog of its vulnerabilities. The cold fighting drug would not only heal the common cold but would also cure asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. “The new rhinovirus family tree would make it possible for the first time to identify which particular branch of the virus is most proactive to asthma,” said Dr.Fernando Martinez of the University of Arizona. This research is a big deal because the common cold is effecting millions of people right now, although its not a deadly virus, it is a an annoyance to peoples everyday lives. This would most definitely catch the eyes to those people who suffer from asthma especially a child’s parent.
Drug developers on the contrary think this drug would not be bought because the cold is a “minor nuisance” and people would not wont to pay for such an expensive drug. There are some people such as I that are tired of trying all these different medications and having them not work but make the illness worse. Two drugs such as Relenza and Tamiflu were supposed to alleviate flu symptoms but not cure it. They both ended up being commercial disappointments, said Carl Seidon, president of Seiden Pharmaceutical Strategies.
The problem with the family tree of the rhinovirus genomes is that they are changing all the time. However the research done with the decoding of the genome will help researches analyze the new family tree of the rhinovirus that are causing concerns. Right now there are no effective treatments but a discovery that could someday cure the cold virus.

As layoff surge, women may pass men in the job force
I was browsing through the New York Times and read this article on how women are dominating the labor force. With the economy in a recession 82% of job cuts are hitting males. According to Catherine Rampell she writes "women are poised to surpass men on the nations payrolls, taking the majority for the first time in history. However this article does explain that job cuts for males has nothing to do with gender equality, but that women dominated fields such as education, healthcare and childcare aren't sensitive to the economic slowdown. Whereas male dominated fields such as manufacturing and construction are suffering from the job losses.
This article caught my attention because I couldn't believe that women for the first time are leading the men in something. This is a change to society because for years men have always played the roles in being the breadwinners to families and made the majority of the payroll. Women in the past years main job were being caregivers and housewives However, times have changed and women are working more and raising families. With the increase in males losing their jobs it maybe the women will now be the breadwinners in their households.
