Gossip Gossip

     The two blog's joining us here today is TMZ Chrisean is Having a Baby and Insider's Joe Jonas Divorce Lawyer. These blog's inform you of the new trending hot gossip, but what makes them different and which one's better?

                                                                   Chrisean Rock Apepesa kwa Blueface ndi Mafani Ake, Amapempha Mapemphero a Mavuto a Mental HealthChrisean Rock

    To begin, TMZ's tone throughout the whole blog is casual/professional while Insider's is more of a professional tone. While talking about the controversial talk about Chriseans's new baby, TMZ includes the phrase, "smoking with a bun in the oven," which is a more fun way of saying she smoked while being pregnant. This shows personality from whoever runs TMZ. Whereas Insider's is informal, but it's lacking the personality that hooks and attracts more readers. Additionally, both blogs include a visual, but in my opinion, TMZ provides a video that will intrigue their viewers more. Insider's provided a picture of Joe Jonas and his soon to be ex-wife, while TMZ included a short video of Chrisean yelling at someone while she is having herself filmed LIVE on Instagram! Crazy, right? I would attach that video here if it wasn't too PG-13, so instead the picture I attached is the boring picture from Insider's.  Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner pose together on a blue carpet for a Vanity Fair event Insider's picture

    Overall, TMZ's blog sharing the insight to Chrisean's new baby is way better than Insider's blog about Joe Jonas's divorce. With this type of blog, it's important to also have a personality when writing about new gossip. The audience is usually Gen-Z and they need personality and videos to be drawn to read an article. Let me know of you agree!

    You've done a good job of pulling out some concrete evidence to analyze here -- good start. Don't forget that before you jump into analyzing and considering the blogs themselves, you first need to set up the post, establish the context, and invite the reader into the conversation. Also, consider the two blogs as a whole (not just individual posts) and analyze the elements of the blogs that also impact the reader/viewer's experience. Font? Color? Size? Photo to text ratio? Simplicity versus busyness, etc.?

    Your compare and contrast of the two gossip columns is great! Your opinion is very clear in this on how you view TMZ as the better choice compared to Insiders. Seeing that the clear tone in your blog is to inform others on how TMZ is better is very clear. Also stating that there is a video of Chrisean yelling at someone is insane. My question is, what kind of post does Insider have?

    Hi Kathryn! I enjoyed reading your assignment because I feel as though you compared the difference between Insider and TMZ extremely well. I also agree that TMZ displayed a more casual tone when talking about Chrisean Rock by making jokes as well as displaying an intentionally funny video of her giving birth. Where as the Insider went for a very professional tone and mood in there article. Lastly, I'm glad you addressed how most of the people who are interested in both of these individuals are apart of Generation Z, and in order to get there audience interested, they should go for a more casual tone.

Entry #4: Origin of Halloween

      BOO! Did I scare you? No, well whatever. When you think of Halloween, you might think of the costumes, trick or treating, scary movies, haunted houses, and so much more fun things. Yet, what is Halloween and its origin? Today, let’s dive into the legend behind one of the best holiday’s ever.      To begin with, 2,000 years ago, in what is now Ireland, the United Kingdom, and northern France, lived the Celts. The Celts celebrated their new year on November 1st. According to History.com , they believed the night before the new year, October 31st, the worlds of the living and dead united. At the Celtic festival of Samhain, they would light bonfires and wear costumes to repel ghosts. I’m guessing this is where we got the idea to dress up in costumes! However, they also believed the presence of spirits helped Celtic priests make predictions of the future! Kind of cool, huh? I wonder what types of predictions they made. Anyways, to honor this event, Celtic priest’s built sacred bonfire

Entry #7: Fresh

    Good afternoon fellow bloggers! Did you know industrialized farming causes food contamination, depletes natural resources, uses unsafe chemicals and fertilizers, and much more. A lot of the food we eat comes from industrialized farming, and many people don’t realize how bad it actually is. However, in the documentary  Fresh , it shows the farmers and businesses who use sustainable farming to better the environment and food we consume.     My favorite part of this documentary is the segment of Joel Salatin’s sustainable farm in Virginia. Instead of using unnatural chemicals on his crops and land, he lets nature run its course. He allows his cows to graze on the field, and lets them to their business (manure). The dung and manure is left to work as a natural fertilizer. That might sound gross, but I would rather that than ingesting chemicals! After the fact, he then lets his chickens peck at the bugs and larvae to somewhat “sanitize” the manure in order for it to continuing fertiliz

Entry #9: Food Inflation

  Picture     Good afternoon bloggers! However, is it really a good afternoon with all of the recent economic inflation? Currently, the prices for everything is increasing and people have been struggling to pay for their needs. This image represents people all over America who are paying loads of money of food that they need.     More specifically, in this image we see a man feeding his plate money. His facial expressions tells us he’s upset by this, maybe even worried. This is how many people feel when they decide to go shopping. They look at the price for their NEEDS and end up disappointed or furious by the price they see.  According to  NBC News , since a year ago, the cost of eggs has increased by 60%; bread and lunch meat increased by 15%; milk and cheese increased by 12%. For those who make such a low income, they might struggle to buy groceries due to the high prices. According to  Yahoo Finance , a consumer research group stated 59% of Americans struggle to buy groceries. Due
