PhotoJ - Warm-Up

1. a) I think it is very true what he said because everyone is always buying what's new and is surrounding themselves with them.
    b) Yes I agree like I already said.
    c) I actually do not connect that statement with photography as pictures, in my opinion it has more to do with the technical aspect of photography and what new camera is able to shoot the best pictures for example.

2. I would love to visit that place and take pictures. Even if the colors are a little bit overwhelming at first but it is really interesting.

3. I think it would be great if my parents would work there because I imagine that if there are some false produced things which can't be sold the workers can take that home.

4. My favorite picture is the one room full with fake flowers and the girl in the middle working on something.

1. In sports it's common that you trow water or champagne or any drink on your coach after you won a game.
2. I would assume the shutter speed is medium because it is a little bit blurry.
3. Yes I think it is a key moment but I don't think it was planned because I'd say it just happened out of the winning of the team.
4. Maybe they've played with shutter speed and ISO.

PhotoJ - News Values

1. Timeliness  -- the newness of the facts.
1. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2015/03/02/pediatricians-agree-delay-vaccines/24258065/
2. Majority of pediatricians agree to delay vaccines
1. I think this article fits to timeliness because it just got released today and the topic is really up to date. It also has been in the news a lot lately.
2.  Proximity – the nearness of a given event to your place of publication.
1. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/03/01/attorney-ebola-nurse-suing-texas-hospital-for-negligence/24231015/
2. Ebola nurse to sue for negligence
1. This article is a good example of proximity because clearly the place where it's happening is really close (Dallas). It is not only the same country, it is also the same state.
3.  Prominence – the “newsworthiness” of an individual, organization or place.
1. http://www.usatoday.com/story/theoval/2015/03/02/obama-south-carolina-utah-south-dakota-48th-state-benedict-college/24252901/
2. Obama to visit the 48th state: South Carolina
1. You can see prominence here because Obama is the president of the US and therefore really important for the citizens. As president he's clearly a politician what makes him also very prominent.
4.  Impact – the effect or consequence of an event on the audience.
1. http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODE/AustinAmericanStatesmanNIE/
2. Austin steps up, makes SXSW safer
1. This article is a perfect example for impact because SXSW is basically right in our neighborhood and with it the danger of drunken idiots or something disturbing like that. Also I assume that almost everyone in hear has been so SXSW at least once.
5.  Conflict – the meeting of two or more opposing forces. These forces can be physical, emotional or philosophical.
1. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/03/25/911-fbi-investigation/70423820/
2. 9/11 investigation still open; disagreement persists
1. This article displays a conflict because it's talking about how people in the FBI disagree with each other. They're arguing about wether others in the US have the advantage of knowing of secret plans etc.
6.  Human Interest – the drama the surrounds people involved in an emotional struggle.
1. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/26/world/europe/germanwings-airbus-crash.html?ref=world&_r=0
2. Germanwings Crash Investigation Hits Snag in Retrieving Data
1. I think there is no question why this is an example for human interest. I mean it is clearly a drama which "surrounds people involved in an emotional struggle" when there are 150 deaths and no survivors because of a plane crash.
7.  Novelty – the attraction people have to unusual things and events. 
1. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/03/25/detroit-bodies-found-freezer/70419644/
2. Mom reportedly told police she killed kids in freezer
1. This is definitely a topic in my opinion which attracts people because it is really, really unusual, clearly. Unfortunately people are most likely interested in something like that.
