The two most common print media are newspapers and magazines, but print media also includes outdoor billboards, transit posters, the yellow pages, and direct mail. Print media is important because it can reach such a large audience, and the great number of specialized publications enable businesses to focus in on a target audience with a specific set of characteristics. Print media are allowed to advertise mostly anything, such as cigarettes, liquor, and contraceptives; however, many publications will not accept controversial ads.
I think there would be a lot of opportunities in print media and remember you don't just have to be a journalist to be in print media you can be a photo journalist, graphic designer, plate makers, ad copywriter etc. There are many more jobs other then these in print media. The main kind of print media is in newspapers and magazines these kind of jobs can be found every where in Australia and overseas.

I think that technology has changed how we see the news now. I think that the journalist back in the day had a lot more trouble then the journalist have it now back in the day the journalist had to write the story out then take it to the editor but now the journalist get the key facts and messages it to the editor or just ring them and tell then the key facts.
I think that technologies has impacted how the new has been told a lot one way is computers you use to have to wait until you heard it on the radio or wait until 6.00 came around to hear the new and find out what has been happening in the world. But the Internet is the new way to see whats happen all day and every second of the day all the newspaper have their on own website and you can go on their and see what is happen every second of the day.
another way we have heard the news that has change from the furture has been tv's the news is on every night at 6.00 to find out the main head lines thought the day and what the weather will be like though the week.
another way the news will be told is though your i pod touch's and mobile phones these already have applications on them and are just expect to take over the application world

1st Class Activity
CONCERNS OVER GANG WARS IN SYDNEY
Last night two men, aged 24 and 25, were gunned down without warning near some of the city's most exclusive real estate.
The search is on for four men who police believe are responsible for the killings in Sydney's Rocks area. They were last seen at Narrabeen at 12.30 on Monday night.
Police say there were more than 30 shots fired and the gun used was a sub automatic hand gun.
Police are concerned that this will start a gang war in Sydney but assure the public that they will do all they can to stop this from happening.
Opposition leader, John Brogden took a swipe at the government saying,
"Bob Carr has finally ran out of excuses its time he does something about this before more people get hurt his policing strategies aren't working when gangs are shooting near high tourist areas. "
Brogden continued by pointing out that, "These days any one can buy a gun we need to some how stop this from happening otherwise more people are going to die because of all this lunatics. "

State of play film review
State Of Play
Directed by Kevin Mcdonald
State Of Play was based on a British TV show I haven't seen but I must say this movie was quiet brilliant.
The story plays out as follows:
Congressman Stephen Collins (Ben Affleck) is a fast rising star in government and is soon to be a senate hearing chairman but his life turns upside down when his resarch assistant is killed.
Journalist Cal McCaffrey (Russel Crowe) investigates the accident along with the murder of a junkie on Washington's mean streets. McCaffrey treads the fine line between maintaining his long-standing friendship with Collins while remaining committed to the demands of his editor Cameron (Mirren).
As McCaffrey and hot shot reporter Della Frye (Mcadams) discover the connection between the murders they sink deeper and deeper into a dangerous world of conspiracy and political intrigue.
As the fleshy, flawed McAffrey, Crowe manages to avoids the trapping of playing a classic antihero. Crowes's McAffrey is both hack and friend, constantly torn between journalistic integrity and a desire to protect his old mate from the vultures he works with.
This movie wasn't all about Russel Crowe (though he did pull off a brilliant performance), just as good was Ben Affleck while Rachel McAdams,Robin Wright Penn and Helen Mirren are all consistent.
I give this movie 4 stars out of 5
