The murder of Stephen Lawrence and The Macpherson Report For the particular piece of coursework I have chosen to study the murder of Stephen Lawrence and The Macpherson Report within race and racism. This is because I think that this topic is a major factor within racism. The Stephen Lawrence murder has had such a significant change on the police force and also how we look at racism. Racism has become a massive factor in British society and is more dominant in the news than it used to be. The media has played a prominent part in the portrayal of racism, especially in the Stephen Lawrence case.
In the News: Boston Marathon Bombings CRMJ 450 Boston Marathon Bombings The Boston Marathon Bombings took place not too long ago, it occurred on April 15, 2013. It was an unexpected terrorist attack in Boston, Massachusetts. The incident was carried out by two brothers, later identified as Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The two brothers carried out the terrorist attacks by planting bombs inside trash cans that were located in the Boston Marathon - to detonate near the finish line of the Boston Marathon race. There were a total of three bombs, made out of pressure cookers, which were filled with nails.
When covering a story, newsrooms report and deliver the news in different ways. Not every newsroom takes the same approach or writes a particular piece with the same angle. In this essay, I will specifically analyze how The Boston Herald and The Boston Globe cover and report crime. During the past month, I had the opportunity to shadow reporters in both newsrooms, getting a first-hand look at how a story is pursued. I have been taking note on how both news publications go about reporting particular incidents, and how the same incident in both papers had a completely different feel For the same local stories, sources were different, leads differed and different angles were taken.

Part 1 The claim I am making is that the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013 was bad. This claim links to the area of ethics since it seeks to know how best to choose lovingly in the many situations of life. The claim I have made is judging whether the bombs in Boston, was the right, loving choice to make in this situation and then it proceeds to say that no it was not. The areas of human science, history, natural science and mathematics all relate to this claim though less directly. People most of the time look back in history when a tragic event happens for an event that was similar to compare it to for example 9/11.
Running head: BOSTON BOMBERS Boston Bombers Walter Hogan Alanna Smith Terrorism and Homeland Security CRJ 440 November 13, 2013 Strayer University BOSTON BOMBERS Two apparent explosive devices were detonated near the crowded finish line of the Boston Marathon. The explosions took place at the 4:09 mark of the race, and approximately ten seconds apart. As soon as news of the Boston Marathon bombings broke around 2:50 p.m. on Monday, April 15, myriad layers of the U.S.’s problem-solving teams and experts came into play.” Particularly noteworthy was the initial response of law enforcement units, emergency medical crews, hospitals, and various government agencies.

This book is also an eye opener for anyone that did not live through or old enough to remember the attacks discussed. I remember the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the bombing of the USS Cole, and the African embassy bombings but not the details. I think that is why I did further research to remember the attacks. Hopefully anyone that reads this will also do the extra research for more first accounts of the attacks to even better understand what was going on in the United States at the time before 9/11, to see how life has changed since and how far we have come with the “war on terrorism.” Terrorism is unfortunately a constant issue but with the law enforcement agencies hopefully working together they can prevent another attack from happening
However, the USA’s war on terror has had a negative effect on many countries in the world as well as their own, and their citizens by creating animosity in the international community, causing a downturn in their own economy and their major allies, and ruining their international reputation. War on Terror The War on Terror was a military campaign lead by the USA to destroy terrorist throughout the world. Their largest target being Al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. Other countries that have joined the War on Terror are Japan, Canada, Britain, Australia and Spain.

Behind Romney’s Decision to Attack Obama on Libya by David E. Sanger and Ashley Parker (New York Times) In an article published on September 12, 2012, journalists focus on Mitt Romney’s decision to attack Obama’s foreign affairs and draw some spotlight to him. Recently, the Obama administration has been dealing with increasing tensions in Cairo, an area in which protests have been occurring and most importantly, the deaths of the ambassador to Libya and others. Romney states in his speech that instead of apologizing for America and the violence that has happened in diplomatic facilities of this area, the Obama administration should have defended the interests of Americans more efficiently. The next day, we learn that the events that occurred in this region have become clear and in fact Romney’s statement is wrong. Now the tables have turned and the criticism turns to Romney and his reasoning for this attack on Obama.
Racism Post 9/11 September 11th 2001 will forever be remembered as 102 minutes that changed America. The attacks not only shook the nation with fear but altered racial stereotypes until this very day. When one reflects upon the media post 9/11, they initially spot the increases in Arab/Muslim prejudged remarks; however, with a decade past one could argue movies and television shows have managed to represent a more accurate illustration of life in the Middle East. Days following the attacks on the twin towers, the media occupied its broadcast with horrible racial stereotypes. Newspapers, homepages, and newscasts filled their content with prejudiced information which distorted many Americans point of view.
