Media Literacy Level

   This Journalism class has had a great impact on my media literacy; I knew some about the Media but nothing compared to what I know now.

   Now I know history of different types of media, how they started and how each developed; also, the controversies were very interesting to me, I really enjoyed reading those sections the most. It was also very nice the way the textbook listed all the career positions available in each media department and its duties.

   I don't view media much differently than before, except for the fact that I am a bit wiser on the subject overall.

   My understanding of media impacts like the first amendment has changed, mainly because before I just had a vague idea or notion about what the first amendment meant. Now I know that it is strongly referred to in all media ever invented.

   I have included here in my blog a video that reflects subjects learned in this class; for example: the 1st Amendment and media commercial tactics.

Elvis Presley Enterprises/Copyright

According to New York CBS/AP, there are Copyright lawsuits being filed against men in Florida and England by Elvis Presley Enterprises; they are attempting to stop the selling of a DVD and CD box set.

                                                                                               

•  One of the men's name is Joseph Pirzada, who sold the above mentioned material that included recordings and footage of Elvis Presley's performances.

• Elvis Presley Enterprises, said that the box set includes footage from a 1977 television special called "Elvis in Concert" and raw footage from Elvis in Omaha, Neb., and Rapid City, S.D, Which they claim copyright ownership

No matter how it may look, that a large company such as Elvis Presley Enterprises files a law suit against someone who is probably just trying to make a living, the law is the law! and therefore, it was placed to be followed and to be imposed.
