Journalism Gone Wrong



I actually found an article where a journalist was writing about how journalism needs to be changed so that was a little interesting. He was talking about the 9/11 attacks and how they were portrayed in different articles by journalist. They all used the rhetoric strategy of wording their titles to “describe the attacks in the language of war, rather than as a criminal act” (Brent Cunningham). They made the U.S believe that we needed to go to war to defend ourselves because they thought that it was more than just an act of terrorism. By wording their titles like this it drew more people in and it made more people support the decision to send several soldiers over to Iraq.
