However, applying the key components I have been taught in Public Relations studies when drafting a press release, i.e. the 5W’s and H, having an appealing headline and following the inverted pyramid model was really helpful. Starting with the most important and pertinent information at the top of the press release and progressing with the least important information was a powerful concept to create interest and to convey a message to the media. It was mandatory to use the proper format as the press spend at least three seconds choosing whether a public statement merits perusing, hence it is fundamental that all the information is displayed at the start to hook the media in.
Moreover, applying photos in press releases is becoming a vital part of public relations. Including a professional photo not only embellishes the news, but generates visibility for the organization’s story as well. It makes the story stand out from the mass of outlets the media is receiving on a daily basis.

In the year 1984, October 1st, two Holy Cross Priests had the mere idea of creating a foundation to help the poor and homeless. By renting a house they started their own idea, by bringing in their first guest and creating something that will forever remain to offer hospitality. Slowly but surely, this organization formed many new members of volunteers to help as well. Not only did the volunteers increase, services were established that this organization offers, and many people from all over the Phoenix area started to send in donations such as clothes, blankets, and medical needs. Andre House of Hospitality is a non-profit organization, and because of this, they rely on “us”, the community, to do our part to help the less unfortunate.

“[The press] were not carriers of ideals,” According to Robert G. Parkinson, “but rather tools of propaganda to dupe an unsuspecting public into ratifying policies that lined the pockets of political and economic elites”. (Parkinson). In Parkinson’s opinion, the press used sneaky tactics in order to trick the people into agreeing with their views, which wasn’t always false. There are many examples of press creating depicting images that sway its viewers towards their beliefs, especially when it came to passing certain governmental issues.

Photojournalism tends to be more effective than textual journalism because, as Ephron puts it, the photographs disturb readers for granted." Here, the idea is that journalism should have a greater emotional impact on readers. " Entirely as it should be" is the
I am very thankful for the opportunity to intern at the Waterfront Public School and having the chance to work with two very different students with DD. This experience gave me a better understanding of how the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) employs DSWs and how they value our role within their classrooms. I was fortunate enough to work with a collaborative team of staff that encouraged my professional growth by allowing me to assess and implement new teaching strategies. This team also provided me with much needed feedback and criticism along the way, which I valued and learned from. In addition, this education support placement allowed me to fulfill many performance elements related to learning outcome seven of the DSW Program Manual.
There are instances where these photographs cross an ethical boundary. Instances in which it becomes unclear whether they should tell the story. Sometimes described as disaster pornography, these photographs depict brutal moments of human suffering. Often with a level of objectivity that may seem callous or exploitative. These moments prompt the question: is this necessary to tell the story?

Sometimes though, omitting an image means shielding the public from the messy, imprecise consequences of war- making the coverage incomplete and even deceptive.” (Daghett 2) This reflection shows that Daghett does not want graphic imagery to be shown merely for shock value, but rather that she believes it has an instrumental role in keeping the public informed and aware. While a noble thought, there are many questions that can be raised from this sentiment. For example, what would factor into determining what photos are necessary or unnecessary for the public to see?
although Lourdes reached a rough period in her life while prostituting she still remained focused about providing for a better life for children as well as herself. She used her strengths to overcome these challenges and did not let her environment change the mindset of why she came to America. Under these circumstances life can be hard and Lourdes seems like she needs help from a social worker or local agency she can trust that would not continue to take her money. Lourdes should research these agencies first before deciding to use them because of her past experiences with fraudulent agencies.
With this experience, it had allowed me the space to utilize the skills that I have to acquire through my educational program while attending QCC. I have found this experience to be rewarding which gave me great insight into my future of being a Sign Language Interpreter. By me working side by side with members of the Deaf community, it has shown me …. And with this I have a better understanding what it means to be a sign language interpreter. Therefore, my hope is that by me being accepted to your program I can further learn more about the community and the different ways in which I can be helpful towards members within the Deaf community.
Benoit defines image restoration theory as strategies used to mitigate image damage following a threat to a reputation (organizational or personal) (Blosenhauer, 2014). As we know that, image is possible a very important concern nowadays. Thus, when reputation is threatened especially during crisis happens, individuals and organizations are encouraged to justify themselves to the attack. Organization works on effort to ensure that crises are anticipated, managed, and evaluated effectively and efficiency before any unfavorable impression is formed.
Pictures we take become a part of our legacy. Pictures of important days in our lives or just pictures of something that caught our attention is essential. As said on the Seedling Blog, “Photo-journaling our major life events is essential, but capturing the daily and mundane has equal importance” (The Importance of Photography). The little things that caught our attention give us much more insight into the kind of people we are than yet another cliche picture of the Eiffel Tower or a waterfall in Hawaii. Photos are a record of our lives, places we have been, things we have done, or who we used to be.
