This past Thursday in Roseburg, Oregon a gunman opened fire which killed at least nine and wounded at least seven at Umpqua Community College. One student was live tweeting about the travesty while it was occurring. Kayla Marie tweeted "Omg there's someone shooting on campus," at 12:41. This caused many reporters and TV producers to attempt to get into contact with Kayla to get as much information on the shooting as possible. While reporters were trying to interview her, some journalists considered the consequences of their actions and one even thought of them as "Absolute human vultures."
The author of this article is trying to say that journalists can be rude when attempting to interview others. They show this by including quotes, pictures, and videos of the president, bystanders, and people who were affected by the event. The author is very good at explaining the travesty and quotes that are included. They aren't very good at getting to the point as much as explaining it however. Their conclusions are that reporters and journalists can be evil when it comes to interviewing and getting information on important news.
This article explains the points the author is trying to convey very well by using exact tweets by Kayla Marie and Emmanuelle Saliba, quotes by other reporters from various news stations, and also pictures taken at the scene. The evidence convinced me that reporters can be conniving and rude when trying to interview others. The applications are the photographs taken and the speech recorded Barck Obama gave to the college. Overall, this article was put together very well to get the point across about reporters.
