ASSIGNMENT FOUR
Write three pitches that you and some classmates can actually produce with the time and resources available to you.

The audience will be English speaking You Tube viewers. Your pitch should offer them something they cannot see elsewhere. This means slice of life and human interest stories are OK, but try to come up with some hard issue pieces or stories related to breaking news as well. Foreigners love to hear about: The Olympics, counterfeit or dangerous products, the environment and global warming, martial arts, student trends, China's economy, interesting tourist destinations, and anything unusual or surprising. Think about a story you would like to hear about in another country, and try it here.

Pitch1 Mr. Wang is an old man over 60 years old. However he is suffering to force to get out of his houses very soon. As the rapid development of economy in Beijing, many old houses in the center of city will tear down. They are disappearing and replaced by the new office buildings. Mr. Wang is still used to sitting in the chair in the balcony, but what he seen is quite different from the scene 40 years ago. I want to interview him about these differences and how are they affected his life after tearing down the house? Pitch2 Shanxi province is a special region in China. It is rich of natural resources like coal and metal, therefore a large number of millionaires raised in this area. However there are still many poor people living under the average condition. In order to support themselves they have to take the risk of lives to handle some dangerous work. I want to interview the local governor on how to reduce the gap between the poor and rich, and what measures they will take to solve this problem in the near future. Pitch3 The first semester of the university life for the freshman has already coming. Many of them never leave home before. As a matter of fact it is a turning point for them to start a new life on their own.However a large number of parents still live in the school and accompany with their children until now.I want to interview these parents and students on their opinions about this problem.
Also think about the big stories in the world, and look for a Chinese connection. Are there Iraqi students here? Does China have an Islamic insurgency? What do Chinese students think about the US presidential race? Who is in charge at the Palestian Embassy here now that the Palestinians have split amid civil war?

Your pitch should include the names of the people you plan to interview, and the shots you plan to include.

PIG DISEASE Key words： Fear-purpose Organizing order Psychological leading We discussed in class that journalists can choose somebody to say something they need for their own views. Now we turn to another key method----the order of the facts. It is obvious to find that the writer of this report is quite fear about this pig disaster in China, and his purpose is to invoke a fluster among the Americans towards it, and might including all the food exported from China, thus give a impression of the American public that China is a country which is full of dangerous illness and the Chinese government is incapable to solve these problems. In addition the writer is quite skillful in creating a nervous and fluster environment among the readers. Like at the beginning “By the end of the summer, all but a handful of the village's 300 pigs had succumbed to the mysterious disease." It was quick, very quick. Moving rapidly from one farm to the next, the virus has been devastating pig communities throughout China for more than a year, wiping out entire herds, driving pork prices up nearly 87 percent in a year and helping push the country's inflation rate to its highest levels since 1996.”and then in the middle mainly targeted the local readers “We are concerned that with international traffic this particular virus could enter other continents -- Europe or Africa or the Americas," and connected with background of the serious of SARS in China. These materials are easily misleading the public thus meet his purpose. The order is magic.Let's see how the author used them. Step 1,Using an exemple how the disease kills pigs to lead the image of the whole country trapped in it. Step 2,How the Chinese government has reacted so far over the disease. Step 3,The skeptical response follows tightly.The dagger is the Chinese government is slow again to share the sample and date with other countries and also its reasons of being slow--business interests and intellectual property issues. Step 4,The fact that the Chinese decline to answer the author questions.Followed up by emphersizing the importance of sharing sample and data, the author is implying some undetected reasons the government posesses which is also a hint of poor regulation. Step 5,After checking out the reason of delaying, the author reports what the government has done--China's sharing on a scintific journal is implied unprofessinal and not of full-scale because the lack of peer review. Step 6,Citing from two experts, the author is saying that the disease is in a fast pace of evolving into a more complicated virus and the spreading into the US market is totally possible. Step 7,The suspectable numbers the government released, in a more tensive reading atmosphere after Step 6, furtherly weaken the government's positive effort of solving this issue so far. Step 8,Two Vietnam people died because of eating pork. Step 9,The government's public education campaign and its relate laws passed might be the objective description of the government's possitive effort. Step 10,The "poor response" of the education--still some part of its pig raisers believe the cause of the death is superstition. Step 11 Pig carcass throught into river is a oppugn that the disease might be far from controled. Choose the facts to arrange into a order that service for the author's purpose. This article is a good example. Facts can be ordered by many ways. Every time the author described the Chinese government's effort, the bad facts which are not that directely relate come up, which successed in forming the image of China's poor regulation over these kind of issue. On the other hand, if a jounalist wants to write a positive report or a praise one for the Chinese government, he can order like that,for exemple: Some of the pig raisers are superstition, but the government has already launched an aggressive public education campaign.In this order, things look more positive. The use of order in this news influences the receiving psychology of the readers. Readers take up the nervous atmosphere first and then receiving some bad information of the spreading of the disease, the lagging of Chinese government to share data and tissue samples and the inconsistency. Impressed by those negative points, though next a few positive ones are presented, readers won’t accept them mentally. Then again the reappearance of negative-selected facts reappear and impact the understanding of the whole new. And from it, we learn that the organization order of news sources is quite important to news. Same materials, different orders could give different understandings.
