LO2 Newspaper Analysis

a) http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/donald-trump-campaign-aides-russian-officials-election-2016-intelligence-agencies-law-enforcement-a7580746.html

The Independent
15/02/2017
Donald Trump campaign aides repeatedly spoke with Russian officials in run-up to election

Summarise the main points of the article.
  • Trumps team had been in contact before the election
  • Possibly to sabotage Hillary Clinton's candidacy through Russia posting fake news.
  • USA have denied this to be true.
  • To report and inform .
D) Explain your choice of purpose.
Effects everyone in the world due to it having somethings to do with 

'Law enforcement and intelligence agencies found that members of Donald Trump’s campaign and other associates had repeated contact with Russian officials in the run-up to the election.'

This shows the purpose of the article is to inform the public on what is occuring. Also this shows the purpose of the article is to report to us on what has happened. Russians being in contact with the Donald Trumps team before the election was detailed in the article in order to report and the public on what has happened.
'Inteligence agencies were also concerned by Mr Trump's remarks last summer'

This article is quite formal

G)
Identify 3 Techniques which have been empowered by the writer.
Analyse each technicque and explain is purpose or effect.


F) Justify your choice of tone with evidence from the text.
The article has used repretetion - 'strongly denied ' is used more than once in the aricle. This is to get Donald Trumps view of the situation across.


I) Think of the ideas, opinions or issues involved in this article you have read.

In my opinion i believe this issue to be a very major issue because of the effects it my have had on Donald Trumps campaign.Although, Donald Trump was elected president of the United States many people were not happy with him being elected.For Donald Trumps team being in contact with the Russians before his campaign could give Hilary or non Donald Trump voters a reason for him being elected.Donald Trumps team being in contact with the Russians was said to have something to do with 'sabotaging' Hilary Clinton's campaign. I do not understand why this information is not effecting Donald Trump as he is now the President Of The united States.Was there not enough proof or evidence for this to be true? And if this was to be true can this effect Donald Trump as president and give justice to Hilary.
'
Four current and former US officials told the New York Times'
This conveys how this information is probably true due to coming from a quite high and reliable sources.In my opinion this should be enough evidence to investigate if the campaign between Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton was fair.  What I found interesting was they have more than enough evidence such as 'they had intercepted phone records and phone calls and had found evidence of the repeated communications last year'. I did not understand why this information was not told earlier but after Donald Trump was elected.
'They discovered that Russia had carried out a "campaign of influence" upon the election, posting fake news to sabotage Hillary Clinton's candidacy.'
This clearly shows this was in order for Donald Trump to be elected president and ruin Hilary's Campaign.
'US intelligence officials also did not say how much of the communication with Russia was related to business.' This goes to show how he cma

LO3 : Planning The Article *

  • Sport
  • Music
  • Entertainment
  • Communties
  • Politics
These are 3 ideas, which I would like to take forward for my sheffield basedarticle.

Community + Arts/Media

Interviewing an upcoming  Sheffield Blogger and her plan to start an Etiopian Fashion and Health Care in order to Celebrate.
Biography.
Animal Care

Animal health is not a big as a topic in Sheffield. More people need to be aware of . Secondary research e.g. Rspca online.

Education in Sheffield
Education in shefield needs to be improved.More people neeed to be aware of how education in sheffield needs to impoved and how.

LO3: Secondary Research Techniques


By far the most widely used method for collecting data is through secondary data collection, commonly called secondary research. This process involves collecting data from either the originator or a distributor of primary research (see Primary Research discussion below). In other words, accessing information already gathered.
In most cases this means finding information from third-party sources such as marketing research reports, company websites, magazine articles, and other sources. But in actuality any information previously gathered, whether from sources external to the marketer or from internal sources, such as accessing material from previous market research carried out by the marketer’s organization, old sales reports, accounting records and many others, falls under the heading of secondary research.
Ease of Access
In years past accessing good secondary data required marketers to visit libraries or wait until a report was shipped by mail. When online access initially became an option marketers needed training to learn different rules and procedures for each data source. However, the Internet has changed how secondary research is accessed by offering convenience (e.g., online access from many locations) and generally standardized usage methods for all data sources.
Low Cost to Acquire
Researchers are often attracted to secondary data because getting this information is much less expensive than if the researchers had to carry out the research themselves.


Quality of ResearchThere are some disadvantages to using secondary research. The originators of the primary research are largely self-governed and controlled by the marketer. Therefore, the secondary research used must be scrutinized closely since the origins of the information may be questionable. Moreover, the researcher needs to take sufficient steps to critically evaluate the validity and reliability of the information provided.
http://www.knowthis.com/data-collection-low-cost-secondary-research/secondary-research-advantages

For example using Wikipideia a very popular source for information, which anyone is able to edit. This makes the source not very reliable.


Less Credible and More About Selling a Product
Television shows or doucmenturies glamorise their show for vies hrough celebrities, high quality cameras, angle movement etc.
















Google Alerts are notifications given to people in order to alert people on news, latest rends etc. Journalist will have links to social media in order to be aware of what is occuring.
Crowd Sourcing - Information callouts
Crowdsourcing allows businesses to use the input of multiple sources, both within the corporation and externally, to develop solutions for strategic issues or to find better ways to complete tasks. This new culture of innovation, supported by crowdfunding for worthwhile projects, allows for idea collaboration and technological innovation for the greater good. Further, our increasingly mobile world population allows for people from anywhere, and with any background, to give their input on a project.
Web Sources - Academic Work v. Popular opinions.
Observation - E.g. focus recording , evidencing.




Evaluating Sources and Information

Reliablity -(e.g. Use of field experts, first had eye- witnesses, authority - official v subordinae, use of primary and secondary
definers)How truthful the source is.
Relevance - Does the research relate to the topic?
Accuracy - How correct the information given is.Cross refrencing the information view more than one source.
Validity- If the information, pointof view valid or relevant? Does the information have value?
Accessibility - How easy it is to gather or collect the information. Who do you have acess to and is it acessable?
Quality- Information with a high value. This means gathering information that is quality and relevant for readers.
Cost Effective- Resources such as Travel, Food, Equipment Cost etc.May cost more money than the story.Is it cost effective.
