Is the News Working?

A news source should establish a base collection of all the relevant and important changes/events occurring locally and in the world (depending on the size of the area the newspapers responsible for). It should address things that are likely to have a drastic effect on the mass population of it's readers as well as stories about the extremes of just and unjust. In this sense Newspapers are performing very aptly and covering the stories the should be. With this being the case, I also see no reason that this level of efficiency and availability wouldn't be continuable using other forms of delivery like the internet.

My News

I'm one of the new age news gathers, using online sources and other modes besides print to find out what I want to know. Though there are inherent dangers in depending on online sources like internet getting down, these kind of problems are usually so infrequent that it isn't a large concern of mine. I do tend to drift towards reading about things that are of interest to me rather than any old story, but I see no reason why online newspapers couldn't be made in the exact image of print newspapers.

Why should there be a Final Fantasy Museum?

While Final Fantasy may be a entertainment item, it has incredible value as something historic and meaningful. It tells a creative story and involves the player as deeply and significantly as any book movie would be capable of doing as well. It has also drastically affected and changed facets of the gaming industry and genre, most specifically in the Role Playing Games category (RPG). It has had far reaching affects on those who have played it, those involved in creating related materials, and even unknowingly on people who have no idea that it has affected something they have seen at some point in their life. It has a rich history during its run and a promising future of influence and renown.

Museum Visit and Idea

For the museum I critiqued I decided on the Museum of Tolerance that I have visited in the past. Unfortunately I could not find a way to visit again recently, so I tried to critique what I best remember about the museum. I was inspired by what I saw there, both terrible and great. Stories of crimes committed by one human on another astounded me, provoked me, and tempered me. History's repetition was shown to me, and a true scope of how much we have discriminated each other disturbed me. The concept itself was so powerful it seems a great museum could only follow. The museum itself, physically, was methodical, pulling you from one section to another, and seemed in good order to me.
