2nd 6 weeks: Vocabulary Response

The other day Mr. Miller taught us about the terminology used in newscasts. It was really interesting because I knew what each one was, I just never knew the name for it. 

The most interesting thing to me was the VNR, or Video News Release. I had never heard of this or noticed one on television news, but I am sure I have seen it before without noticing. Learning about how to spot a VNR has made me more aware of when they're shown so know I can recognize them on TV. Since we have to watch the news each night for our project, I decided I am going to look for VNRs and try to point them out. 

I wished we could have spent more time on VNRs and watched more examples. I want to be able to notice them whenever I watch the news and I think more examples would help with that. The example we did watch however was very helpful and helped me understand VNRs more. 

Even though this was not really a lecture I really enjoyed learning all of the words that newscasters use and their terminology.
