This article relates to McChesney as it proves his point that modern journalism forgoes original reporting for consumable drama. This article is not an example of "healthy journalism" because it does not include diverse perspectives on the affair and relies on readers' interest in Demi Lovato's personal life rather than acting as a check for existing power structures in society. ]]> 2020-09-29 03:57:51 UTC https://padlet.com/packerman4/hbuqgflqs1k7lp6p/wish/786626421 packerman4 https://padlet.com/packerman4/hbuqgflqs1k7lp6p/wish/823199464 E! News recently published an article titled, “Khloe Kardashian Jokes About Being Nicole Richie's Assistant ‘Five Faces Ago’” in which Alyssa Ray interviews Khloe about the Keeping Up With the Kardashians final season.

For instance, this article allows Khloe to endorse Keeping Up With the Kardashians reminding viewers of how small they started as a television program, ultimately making their audience nostalgic and more likely to watch old seasons and then the final season for closure. ]]> 2020-10-13 00:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/packerman4/hbuqgflqs1k7lp6p/wish/823199464 packerman4 https://padlet.com/packerman4/hbuqgflqs1k7lp6p/wish/839375583 E!

News covered a recent development in the "Jon and Kate Plus Eight" reality narrative that exposed the recent trauma and drama that the family underwent. The article incriminates both parents while also portraying their personal point of view that ultimately exonerates them.

E! News has closely followed the unfortunate tragedy of Chrissy Teigen's lost pregnancy and how it has affected her family. In previous cultural decades, a tragedy like this would be hidden and protected from the public eye; however, E!'s decision to cover this story amidst Teigen's vulnerable decision to share her experience suggests a social shift in how "women's struggles" are approached in the public eye. Women now are encouraged to share the mourning they've faced in womanhood as opposed to suffering in silence to appear picture perfect. ]]> 2020-11-10 03:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/packerman4/hbuqgflqs1k7lp6p/wish/906957083
