Some of the reasons the Jackson Sun failed to cover newsworthy events involving civil rights issues in the 1950s and 1960s are probably because the news publishers were biased and had prior opinions about African Americans and that is why they don't put any civil rights stories on the front page. They are also located farther down south so they is a lot of rascism.

# data[].attributes.body
They ignored news in the black community, civil rights issues, and they were very biased about many things.

They wanted to avoid violent confrontation, and keep things positive to attract readers that wanted to see a more positive outlook. The publishers were also very biased and mostly took the side of white people that wanted to "keep the peace" and avoid facing the issues in Jackson, Tennessee.

They did not want to release this information out to the public in fear that they may spark feelings in people that go against their initial plan. They put it in the back to try to hide it as much as possible with the intention of ¨keeping the peace¨ and avoiding confrontation.

Task 1: What are some of the reasons The Jackson Sun failed to cover newsworthy events involving civil rights issues in the 1950s and 1960s? They ignored all the main newsworthy events and problems in the black communitys.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the lack of coverage on these important stories about civil rights concerning African Americans probably affected the treatment of African Americans and whenever they tried to make a stand or spread awareness, they would get arrested and the news wouldn't cover it due to their bias and nobody would hear about it. I think that if the news doesn't cover these newsworthy topics that they won't be able to fix these problems, which is probably exactly what they wanted anyways.

# data[].attributes.body
Some reasons that the Jackson Sun failed to cover newsworthy stories involving civil rights issues in the 1950's and 60's included bias and prejudice against African Americans. They had conducted their personal opinions already, and they did not match up with the civil rights movement.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the reasons the Jackson Sun failed to cover newsworthy events involving civil rights issues in the 1950s and 1960s was because the news publishers most likely already had prior notations on African Americans which made them biased. The publishers didn't care about the Civil Rights Movement because it didn't affect them, so therefore they did not find it worthy of news coverage.

# data[].attributes.body
One of the reasons the Jackson Sun failed to cover civil rights issues i n 1950's and 1960's is because they were being very biased because in the article you can tell the publishers didn't really speak on civil rights in the black community.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the reasons The Jackson Sun failed to cover newsworthy events involving civil rights was because at the time, blacks were being discriminated against. This didn't affect the publishers because they already had opinions about this movement.

# data[].attributes.body
Most notably, the Jackson Sun failed to cover newsworthy events involving civil rights issues due to their own conservative bias. The owner of the paper, Sally Pigford, was described to be 'ultra-conservative' refusing to acknowledge the events of the civil news on her paper. Furthermore, it was important to mention that her perspectives were most likely heavily influenced by the entire South's conservative (and in turn more racist) views. Not only was Pigford ignorant of publishing much less writing news of the black community, but most if not all of the editorial team. They focused on solely reporting 'good news' in the community, standing by the paper's decided social norm of being 'non-controversial'.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the reasons that the Jackson Sun failed to cover newsworthy events was that the publishers had prior opinions about African Americans. They had there own beliefs that didn't line up with the movements and didn't effect them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the lack of coverage by the paper may have cause a great deal of ignorance in the area. People did not understand the events that took place around them and may have formed opinions that were not well rounded. It also probably created a feeling of isolation among the black community because they were not able to see stories surrounding their struggles and the progress being made during the Civil Rights Movement.

# data[].attributes.body
Retrospect is important because we need to look back on our mistakes and how they affected other people so that we can learn form these events and so we don't let these things happen again. This is why we have history class and social studies, so we can learn about all of the errors made throughout history or else we would never advance as a whole.

# data[].attributes.body
They ignored the racism and took the sides of white people. They also wanted to try and avoid confrontation and stay out of it.

# data[].attributes.body
When the newspaper made the choice to not cover the events of that day they also chose to ill-inform the people. This made people unaware of what actually happened that day thus making it ¨insignificant.¨

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the lack of coverage in this area may have caused many people to not understand the true importance of the events happening in the civil rights movement. It may have also allowed people to remain ignorant and not have to deal with the civil rights movement. Due to the views of the publisher of this newspaper i believe that mostly people who disagreed with the civil right movement read this o it may have reinforced there views about the civil rights movement.

# data[].attributes.body
They ignored news in the black community, civil rights issues, and they were very biased about many things. This caused problems and even more problems in racism.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the lack of coverage is important because it affected how African Americans were treated and made it hard for them to stand up for themselves because no one took it seriously.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel the lack of coverage gave the audience a empty choice to agree or disagree because they didn't get both sides. If they would've covered the whole story the people would have to actually have an opinion instead of just taking the publishers word for it.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the reasons the Lexington Herald failed to cover newsworthy events involving civil rights issues was because of the publishers having bias against African Americans and prioritizing trivial topics over the very relevant issues involving African Americans. I think that there were definitely writers covering these topics but the publishers wouldn't publish them.

# data[].attributes.body
The Lack of coverage might have created speculations about people. Headlines about the black community where rare and they received less attention. This means that many topics that where really important where not covered.

# data[].attributes.body
Some reasons the Jackson Sun was unnewsworthy at some events was the fact that it was a more racial group and they had low interest in what was going on in the black community. They were biased about what they wrote and only wrote was was going on in the general area, not the entire states. The lack of information from around the states, and the bias spread around the paper made it a bad newspaper.

# data[].attributes.body
The lack of coverage on these important stories about civil rights movement probably affected the treatment of African Americans, since there was no news coverage they didn't get to see another perspective of the situation, and cause a decline in progress of spreading awareness. The effect of not publishing certain events in the newspaper prevent people from forming their own opinions and since people make decisions based on their knowledge or lack thereof.

# data[].attributes.body
By reviewing past history we can relate it to our current events and try to make the right decisions. From this we can be aware of our actions and how they affect others. We can better understand the big picture.

# data[].attributes.body
The lack of coverage in the paper could prevent people from being informed, which in turn makes it more difficult to form an opinion. This can change how people approach a situation, for people tend to for opinions because of knowledge, or a lack thereof. This could cause a decline in progress, for the general public did not know what was happening around them.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the lack of paper affected events in the area because people weren't able to make form an opinion about the topic because of little information. This could cause little progress of the movement because of people wouldn't know much about the movement.

# data[].attributes.body
It could have led to many people being uninformed, and therefore leading to the people having a very negative opinion about the civil rights movement, or losing hope behind it.

# data[].attributes.body
I think some of the ways they failed is having bias and making smaller issues seem a lot bigger than racism.

# data[].attributes.body
I think retrospect allows for us to gain insight on how bias and journalism ethics have affected stories in the past. It also helps us learn from our mistakes in the future. I also think that it helps us to understand what the root of previous issues may have been.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that Lexington Herald failed to cover newsworthy events was because many of the publishers where biased and corrupt. Many of the publishers had refused to publish newsworthy information.

# data[].attributes.body
The lack in coverage made the paper lose interest because there was so much going on and they were only covering local information. This made the paper less newsworthy because they failed to inform others about what is going on and that is the main purpose of any media source.

# data[].attributes.body
I think its important because it affected how African Americans were treated and made it hard for them to stand up for themselves because no one took it seriously or into consideration.

# data[].attributes.body
The Lexington Herald failed to cover the events because they chose to not cover them. They were biased and had a private agenda that lead them to not cover the very important civil rights issues.

# data[].attributes.body
Retrospect is important to understand and learn from our past mistakes in history, and to reflect on what made those events happen and how to avoid them if they were bad. We can, together, advance towards a better future for humanity.

# data[].attributes.body
Retrospect is very important to our society because it allows us to gain insight into both our past and the bias that existed then. Looking back and identifying bias also helps us to recognize it in modern media. This allows us to better understand the information that we are being presented and think more critically.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Jackson Sun had a much better approach because they weren't trying to just cover up their mistakes with an apology but showing it through their actions. Instead, they actually solved their problem and ran a series of articles about civil rights and created an online recourse. The Lexington Herald only apologized instead of trying their best to fix the issue at hand.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the lack of coverage is important because it affected how African Americans were treated and made it hard for them to stand up for themselves because no one took it seriously.

# data[].attributes.body
Retrospect is important because we need to look back and ponder on our mistakes and faults, and what they did to affect an individual or group. Retrospect is important from historical standpoint so that when we continue to make decisions we wont make the same mistake we did in the past. We gain knowledge and it helps us understand the information we share or are receiving in the newspaper or on a news channel.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the lack of coverage is important because it affected how African Americans were treated and made it hard for them to stand up for themselves because no one knew about what was happening a lot because it was hidden by the media.

# data[].attributes.body
Retrospect is important to our society from a historical standpoint, for it gives us the ability to ponder past events and observe what worked and what didn't in history, in order to make beneficial changes to how we aim to approach certain things. This gives us knowledge and ability we need to benefit our society.

# data[].attributes.body
I think some of the ways they failed is being racist and not focusing on important evens just because it involves African Americans.

# data[].attributes.body
I think The Jackson Sun failed to cover the newsworthy events on the civil rights issues because their publishers were most likely heavily biased. Since of their bias they decided to put more important information to them on the front page. Also, this is to hide the fact people ore fighting back and what they are doing is wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
Retrospect and reflection are important to our society because looking back on past events affects how we look on things now. We recognize the information that is shared with us.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that some of the reasons the Lexington Herald failed to cover newsworthy events was because the publisher had a bias against black people and wanted to prioritize unimportant topics that made readers feel optimistic, rather than very real and relevant issues involving black people. Although there may have been some journalists covering these issues, the biased publishers would not published them, to stay out of conflict.

# data[].attributes.body
The Jackson Sun chose the right approach by using their platform to spread the right information to the people. The Lexington Herald just apologized without concrete evidence to show they were actually sorry and did not put any information out to re-inform the people.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Jackson Sun had a much better approach to this because they immediately fixed the problem which would probably keep people from getting upset. When the Lexington Herald's leader made an apology, admitting to his mistakes, he is basically telling their audience that they aren't a good source and that he has no motivation to fix the issue unless he is forced to. I think this really shows which one has their priorities straight.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the reasons that the Jackson Sun failed to cover newsworthy events involving civil rights include bias and wanting to be unconfrontational. The owner, Sally Pigford, was a white woman who inherited the label from her husband. Sally, although uninvolved, was racially biased and didn't care to give much attention to the things that were happening. Journalists working for the label did not want to cover anything that would cause an uproar in the local community or earn them public disapproval. At the time, giving attention to these things would cause that because everyone was racist.

# data[].attributes.body
They would rather talk about stupid, little, unimportant, small, irrelevant news than important events involving African Americans.

# data[].attributes.body
I think some of the ways they failed is having bias and making smaller issues seem a lot bigger than racism.

# data[].attributes.body
Us using retrospect is a way to apply prior knowledge to present events. By us reflecting it gives us an chance to see changes in the world or see what we need to change.

# data[].attributes.body
Retrospect allows people and journalist to look back at their past events and see what they did wrong or what they could have done better. When a journalist looks back their work and see if they can identify bias in themselves. We can gain reliable news information.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's better to post articles about to INFORM people rather than just apologize for your screw ups. Like an apology means nothing if you don't act on it. Actions speak louder than words and they took initiative to inform people.

# data[].attributes.body
The lack of coverage by the Jackson Sun could have and most likely caused detrimental effects on the community. Not only was the community uninformed on a local level, but most likely in a state-wide level due to the paper's desire to keep the sleepy status quo. While the community would be dreadfully uninformed, it would also reinforce the conservative anti-civil rights movement notions that it had. This would result in an 'us' vs. 'them' mentality that would also prove disastrous. More so than anything, people were not informed of the lack of rights and horrible acts the black community faced. A solid ignorance from the white population of Jackson because of the lack of stories from the Jackson Sun would lead to more and allow further if not worse acts of injustice towards the black community. In general, when newsworthy events are not covered, ignorance begins to take hold of the population and disarray as well as corruption may follow. Heavily based opinions with no news lead to misinformation and an overall bias that can't be fact-checked or even truly validated.

# data[].attributes.body
The movements and sit ins where happening right in their back yard and they didn't want to bring attention to it.

# data[].attributes.body
The Jackson sun did not want to cover the events involving civil right issues in the 1950's and 1960's, they were being biased about the black community, had caused more problems concerning the black community.

# data[].attributes.body
The lack of coverage most likely resulted in mis-information being spread, or people forming opinions based on little BIASED information they might have seen/heard. It also might make the African American community feel as if there was no hope and that nobody cared about them or the struggles that they went through. People who cared might also not have know how bad the mistreatment was.

# data[].attributes.body
I think people should acknowledge past events to learn from because if you don't learn from history it repeats itself. But, I feel that if you weren't alive during that time, you have no ownership of those events. Unless maybe, you have direct family who were apart of those events.

# data[].attributes.body
I think retrospect means looking back on something. I think retrospect is important because it can help us make better decisions in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
one reason that publishers failed to cover newsworthy events involving the issues in the 1950s and 60s is because the people writing the articles were biased and they already had opinions about black people that were conditioned into them from childhood so in the event that yt people were wrong to black people they failed to accurately talk about their struggles making them (whites) look bad

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Lexington Herald had a better approach because they actually took a step back and reflected on it a swell as analyzed their lack of coverage. It is possible that The Jackson Sun didn't actually stop to think about their actions and learn from them, and instead just hit publish on some info way too late.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, you need to take responsibility for your mistakes so you can address the problem and fix it. If you can do that then the problem will continue to be and issue. This is shown throughout history and when the Lexington Herald failed to cover newsworthy topics concerning civil rights, instead of fixing the problem immediately, they wrote an apology.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's the job of everybody in the present to do their best to know exactly what happened in the past so we can improve and build off of those wrongdoings. If not then we will turn on each other due to disagreement and nobody will be able to see eye to eye with each other. This is happening a lot today due to misinformation surrounding a lot of the government and science.

# data[].attributes.body
They would rather talk about unimportant news of white people, rather than more important topics including black people.

The lack of coverage on these events about the civil rights movement affected the treatment of African Americans, there being no coverage people didn't see the other perspective of the situation and because of this it prevented people from forming there own opinions and since they make decisions based on their knowledge or lack of.

I think they chose not to cover any issues because of their bias against African Americans. They simply did not publish anything.

# data[].attributes.body
The publisher at the newspaper failed to cover events concerning the civil rights movement due to their bias. They wanted to avoid publishing controversial article because they didn't want to lose readers. They also were very conservative and took the opposite side of the civil rights movement saying that they wanted to "keep the peace" so that they would not have to ace the issues facing facing their state.

# data[].attributes.body
Less people would've been aware of what was happening in the area as far as protests and sit ins are concerned and therefore less people would've cared and thought it was a big deal. If newsworthy events aren't covered then people will not think of them as important, which was bad for the spread of the civil rights movement

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the reasons The Lexington Herald failed to cover newsworthy events was because the publishers were biased African Americans, so they chose not to publish the information.

# data[].attributes.body
All we can do is acknowledge the events of the past and chose not to repeat them. When we are aware of our prior generations actions and mistakes we can move on with the right decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people in this generation need to acknowledge the mistakes of those in the past in order to learn from them and make improvements in the future. If young people don't acknowledge these mistakes they may repeat them in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the lack of newspaper coverage affected the way things happened in a good and bad way. If the stories were covered in a way that gave good information and made easy for the public to see, I believe that more people would have participated in events like boycotts and protests because there was more information on it. However, for the people that were opposed to the Civil Rights Movement, giving them news coverage was bad and could have resulted in violence.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the reasons that the Lexington Herald failed to cover newsworthy events involving civil rights issues is because they had bias against African Americans. They chose against publishing this information, due to their bias.

# data[].attributes.body
The Lexington herald failed because they also showed an biased in the article. They were against African Americans so they disregarded the rights and event of the civil rights and tried to talk about things they wanted to make seem important and revelant.

I think you need to take responsibility and tell people important things that are happening. If you don't people don't get the full story and they can't form full opinions.

Some reasons the Lexington Herald failed to cover newsworthy events involving civil rights issues was because the publishers were bias against African Americans and prioritizing trivial topics over things such as the Civil Rights movement.

Some of the reasons the Lexington Herald didn't have full coverage on the civil rights movement is because of failure to see the bigger picture of things, and focusing on much less important matters and almost completely disregarding nationwide movements

I think some of the ways they failed is having bias and making smaller issues seem a lot bigger than racism or disrespect among black communities because of the way they are as a whole.

If we don't reflect on past events, we won't learn from our mistakes. History never repeats itself, but it rhymes. We gain the ability to compare past events to recent ones, like the civil rights movement to the BLM protests

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that the Lexington Herald did a better job approaching the situation, as it is important to own up to your mistakes and take accountability for your actions. The Jackson Sun simply aimed to cover up their mistakes and push them under the rug, which was selfish and inconsiderate.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the Lexington Herald failed to cover the vital events of the civil rights movement was because they choose not to. As I said before the publisher of the newspaper was biased about the movement and there for didn't want to include it in his paper. He also had and audience that mostly shared the same views as him and he cared more about not losing readers than printing important and relevant news.

# data[].attributes.body
jackson sun failed to cover newsworthy events involving the civil rights issues in 1950 and 1960 was because there was a lot of bias from people and they were scared that they would say the wrong thing

Retrospection of history is extremely important, if not crucial. If for anything the need for retrospect is demonstrated in the history classes that many schools offer and how often it is mentioned in other subjects as well. Retrospection allows us as humans to learn from our mistakes and further progress our society. Knowing our roots helps us build a base and work up from it. Recognizing history, acknowledging it, and learning from it is what makes retrospection such an important factor in our day to lives. From the awareness that we gain from retrospection, we, in turn, obtain a richer life experience understanding our roots and life in general. We gain knowledge and we become better informed as humans, allowing us to create opinions and advocate for what is moral, right, and beneficial to our growth.

since white people failed to properly depict the issues going on with black people, and white people didn't care ab what black ppl had to say, when black ppl spoke out ab their issues, yt ppl ignored them

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that the Lexington Herald choose a much better approach because they admitted to their faults on neglecting to cover the civil rights. They owned up to their biases and recognized they were in the wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that The Lexington Herald was a better approach because they owned up to their decisions, and this is important. In contrast, The Sun Jackson was trying to cover up their mistakes, instead of owning up to it.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like analyzing the debacle of the misinformation spread around in the newspaper is a much better approach because it allowed for the paper to find and fix their mistakes, and make amends to the public about how poor of a job they did on covering the civil rights movement

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion people should take responsibility of the wrongdoings of the past because someone taking fault and speaking out about how bad it was will most likely convince whoever thinks it is right to not be influenced of the wrong doings.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Lexington Herald was a better approach because yes they made a mistake but at least they decided to try to change and become more reliable. Even though they released their errors late, they decide to make a apology.

# data[].attributes.body
Retrospect is important because looking back and pondering on our mistakes and faults, and how the affect an individual. Retrospect is important in a historical standpoint so that when we make our decisions we don't make the same mistake as in the past. When we gain knowledge it helps us understand the information we share and take in from the news.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that it is important, in any capacity, to own up to all mistakes made, whether in the present or past, however it would be more ideal for the people from the past to acknowledge and take accountability for their own mistakes, when they were happening, for it was their primary responsibility.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the Lexington Herald had a better approach because they formally apologized and I think it would be better accepted by the people

# data[].attributes.body
The lack of coverage on the African American's affected them because when they had first started going too an all american school they were being treated horrible, American mom's had went and protested against them going to school with their kids. When African Americans do something wrong they are sent to jail or worse killed, but when Americans did something wrong they would ignore it or blame it on a African. The newspaper would not talk about this or say anything against it

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, people need to take responsibility for their faults so you can address the problem and make a change. If you cannot so this then the problem will still remain and biased opinions will keep forming in society.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that it is the responsibility of the newspaper to acknowledge past wrong doings. This is vital considering that it is impossible to change history we need to learn from our mistakes in order to never repeat them. If we do this than hopefully it will lead to a world where most articles are unbiased and accurate.
