The business owners went through resumes and work samples with many students throughout the day. A South Salem student, Mike Douggall, said “I learned a lot from the civic leaders that were there, it was a great experience.” Eighteen Salem-Keizer and Portland high schools took part in State Business Day.

Week 6: KYKN (Media and Orientation)
KYKN is a radio station licensed to serve in Salem Keizer Oregon. The radio station has been known by a couple different names, KGAE and KGAE. Their slogan is, “Salem Is Listening.” It is a news and talk radio that established in 1951. Their programming has talk shows hosted by multiple different people. The station talks about University of Oregon basketball and football along with the Portland Trail Blazers, The Oregon sports network, and the National Basketball Association. The owner of KYKN is Willamette Broadcasting Co.
Week 5: Call
Question 1:
When the call was made, I think that the radio station was probably hectic. My guess, Is that they were trying to figure out ways to enhance their call they had made. For example, they could have been trying to get the police at the station so they could be on the phone with the guy over their radio station.
Question 2:
Some alternatives for WFLA-AM were to not have called the place where the guy was at. Or they could have just told about what was happening without calling. Another option would have been, to call but not play the call on the air live.
Question 3:
If I had known the phone number to call the “Cop Killer” it would have been a very hard decision whether or not to call, or not to call. I think if the decision was put in front of me I would of made the call and took the chance of something bad happening on the air for being the only radio station with that much detail on the situation.
Week 5: Birds
Question 1:
I think that their was only a few minor privacy Issues. They gave a lot of information about the teenager, like his name, where he goes to school, and some of his personal life that didn’t have to do with his parent’s death due to AIDS.
Question 2:
If I were to be the reporter for this story there would be a couple of things I would have done differently. First off, I would have gave the teenager more talking time and gave his grandmother less. I also might of made it either more personal or less personal depending on how him and his grandmother felt about it. Depending on how they felt I would of added more information on how his father got AIDS, and how very different it is to get AIDS through a blood transfusion than it was back then.
Question 3:
In my opinion, I don’t think that the story could have been told as effectively if it had personal information cut out of the story. I think this because the personal information adds more reason, and more interest for the watchers. Without thepersonal information there wouldn’t have been such emotion to the story, which is what I think gives the watcher more interest.
Question 4:
I think that having the personal information of the student put into the story, It would have a lot of impact. In the story he talks about how him and his parents were discriminated by people. I think that by adding his name and his school, it would effect a lot of his social life. If people he went to school would have seen the story, they would have treated him differently.
Question 5:
The story did have some flaws. For example, in the beginning of the film when the grandmother is talking it is hard to understand her because there is something wrong with the audio. Also, there could have been a more personal connection in the film by using natural sound when the teenager is walking on the sidewalk, or when the grandmother is doing her interview. I also think they could have given more information about how the father got AIDS.
Week 5: Critiques
Willamette Live
Article Title: Let The Dog Live
I liked this article because it really explained the topic well, and told a lot about Hopes Haven. This article also gave a lot of quotes from the people who help at Hopes Haven. It helped give an insight on how the place works and its goals that it has in mind. This article gave a lot of information about Hopes Havens accomplishments.
Portland Tribune:
Article Title: Missing Children Found Safe
This article wasn’t very interesting to me, and seemed to have no point. Although there was 3 children found, they were found safe with their grandmother and it didn’t seem like it should of been news to me. Usually kids come back home late and parents worry, but it isn’t posted on news. The situation seemed to be a “false-alarm” to me.
