Local student, kieth Hildebrand has an odd fetish, an insider from the crosxs country team said. The runner, who wished to remain anonymous also stated that at meets, Hildebrand routinely searches for vehicles made by BMW. He takes pictures, which he documents in a scrapbook, currently containing approx. 450 photographs of different beamers he has found. I
In the photo we have aquired, Hildebrand is seen posing with an overly ugly vehicle. Note the cautious or worried look in his eye, which according to an FBI insider, shows that he is either hiding something, or warily searching for the owner.
Hildebrands teammates have lately become worried that this odd fetish is is beginning to affect his performance as part of the team. Hopefully for thier sake, Hildebrand grows out of this odd interest.

War Ends- Celebration in London

            Rioters took to the streets of London, in celebration of the end of the English-Estonian War. When it was announced that a treaty had been signed, and that the war was over, the workers at the Winchester munitions factory poured into the streets to express Thieu elation. Celebrations are continuing as the troops begin to return to the city.
           The former Estonian ambassador to England, Toomas Iilves made a plea to London this morning from his Tallin home; "The bombs have stopped falling, and the guns have stopped firing. People are returning to their homes, and I would like to do the same, if, the people of the United Kingdom would accept me back in their country to represent mine as I did before the war."
            The response from London was equally as warm, with HRH King Charles announcing that the former Estonian embassy is still vacant, and that London would not object to it being filled with its former resident.

Questions

1. What makes a newspaper different from other printed media?
 I believe that newspaper is different from other printed media because unlike other printed media, it is expected to reputable. While a tabloid is expected to be full of made up stories and photoshopped pictures, a newspaper should only contain articles of fact, and relevant pictures. Also, newspapers revolutionized printed media, while others are working off of the model of a newspaper.

2. What role did the Industrial Revolution play in expanding the readership of newspapers?
With the industrial revolution came the printing press. The printing press allowed for the mass production of newspapers. A significantly larger number of papers could be published at a time, and with mass production, comes a cheaper product. With the cost of the paper lower, more people could afford to purchase them, and thus, more people began to read the paper.

3. What kind of relationship did Pullitzer and Hearst have with each other? Why?
Pullitzer and Hearst were competnig publishers during the industrial revolution. They both published newspapers, which as time went on were filled with wilder and wilder stories, trying to entice readers into purchasing thier own paper, as opposed to the other's.

4. What is meant by 'Yellow Journalism?'
Yellow journalism is making up or embellishing stories in print, with the sole intent of selling more copies of the newspaper. Modern day tabloids are a great example of yellow journalism. While the stories might not be the most believable or realistic, they are interesting to read, and catch a customers attention.

5. When was the Spanish-American war? Who was involved?
The spanish american war was in 1898, between Spain and the United States. The competing publishers, Pullitzer and Hearst had been publishing made up stories about the treatment of Americans visiting Cube, then a Spanish colony. The American citizens were so outraged with the 'Spanish behaviour,' that they pressured the president to go to war with the Spanish. If it wasn't for the publishers trying to sell newspapers, the Spanish American war could have been avoided. Watch this brief video explaining the war.



6. What is meant by the term 'Sensationalism' ?
Sensationalism is embellishing a story to make it more interesting or appealing for a reader. With the use of yellow journalism, a publisher can sell more newspapers.

7. Would you mind telling a small lie if it meant making a sale or a bit of extra money for yourself?
I would not at all mind. As a member of a capitalist society, anything is ok or morally acceptable, provided that it will make a sufficient profit for myself, or my employer.
