I do hope you continue with Paternity and keep me abreast of your feelings on the way through? <br />Thanks for coming.June Savillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194576632686640776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106506707783681962.post-36612005299767209612009-08-17T23:42:17.455+10:002009-08-17T23:42:17.455+10:00Hi again June,

Are you looking for any particular type of comments? Have you found a publisher yet? It's not that I have any special connections but have sent my own novel off to four possible publishers and am now off on another story and trying not to think about what's happening with my first attempt at fiction. <br /><br />JockJock Mackenziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18398475380359041807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106506707783681962.post-52006578967400021372008-12-01T07:28:00.000+10:002008-12-01T07:28:00.000+10:00SUCH a good comment Vikki - thanks.

WILL curiosity kill the cat?<BR/><BR/>Part two of your comment:<BR/>'In this reporter's opinion ...' OR 'in this media owner's opinion' could be the way to go I reckon.<BR/> <BR/>I certainly do not believe everything I read and I think that's the protection we could provide for ourselves. <BR/><BR/>I try to think on an article while not becoming too cynical, simply looking at each issue from both sides and summing up the available evidence before believing or acting. <BR/><BR/>Additionally, looking at the personal benefits accrued from those on each side is not a bad thing to do. History belongs to those who write it! Just my angle ... <BR/> <BR/>I'm really chuffed that you're enjoying 'Paternity'. Ep. 6 coming soon, but I'm conscious that it's been a busy week for just about everyone so I've inserted a breather. Ep 5 was a long instalment as well. <BR/><BR/>Thanks again Vikki. Did you get over the turkey? Hugs.<BR/>JuneJune Savillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194576632686640776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106506707783681962.post-58696262273212292052008-12-01T05:18:00.000+10:002008-12-01T05:18:00.000+10:00Hi June,I had to catch up!! Absolutely wonderful!...Hi June,<BR/>I had to catch up!! Absolutely wonderful! I’m really enjoying your story.. I wanted to make a note that relates to your earlier segments before I answered your specific questions on this one : It occurred to me that, although Pip’s quest to know who her father is understandable…there’s a whisper very clearly saying, ‘leave it alone Pip.’ Curiosity killed the cat‘, you know? (Chuckle, chuckle) <BR/>__<BR/><BR/>I worked with an aspect of journalism as applied to television. I think by the most part, news journalist attempt to stay unbiased in their reports. But the stories are written and relayed by ‘human beings’ - all of which respond differently because of their individual life experiences. So, unbiased reporting is really unattainable. In fact even the stories that are chosen to be reported (or spotlighted )are based on the personal preference by the business or studio management. (Just my opinion.) <BR/>In short- NO I don’t believe everything I read. I think the news would be better entitled, “In this reporters opinion.” <BR/><BR/>Anyway- G R E AT story and work. I really look forward to part 6.<BR/>VikkiVikki Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00843590983216729306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106506707783681962.post-2765856128385202472008-11-30T09:08:00.000+10:002008-11-30T09:08:00.000+10:00Thanks for the feedback Cheryl - appreciated.

I hope that it was wonderful. <BR/>I reckon newspapers are in crisis trying to deal with the new internet age and they've 'dumbed down' their stories, leaving them with little meaning. <BR/>I'm pleased 'Paternity' is still working for you.

We have the worst newspaper in our town I ever saw. I quit reading it. There is never anything of interest. This is the capital city and I know there has to be something here to write about! I certainly don't believe everything I read though.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12078537002880283509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106506707783681962.post-20337891018686031912008-11-28T07:24:00.000+10:002008-11-28T07:24:00.000+10:00Confused - I agree that you can't generalise about...Confused - I agree that you can't generalise about anything. <BR/>I worked as a journalist for thirty years and in corporate public relations for probably ten. <BR/>I met heaps of journalists with integrity, but I also met many others who were quite happy to 'spin' stories if they believed it would serve their personal benefit, or that of their particular ideology. <BR/>Quality journalism is crucial to the proper workings of a democratic society - that's why I'm careful about blindly accepting anything written in newspapers without thought. <BR/>I suppose I made my comment about Pip's story because I became aware that she set out to do the story for her own benefit and that the facts may never have come out unless she had that need. Circumstances rule. <BR/>(I'm not saying Pip was corrupted, but that circumstances, or accident, created this particular news story.)June Savillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194576632686640776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106506707783681962.post-46536889523535614422008-11-28T04:01:00.000+10:002008-11-28T04:01:00.000+10:00well I'm still hooked as far as believing in journ...well I'm still hooked as far as believing in journalists..it goes on an individual baisis for me to some extent some have more credibility than others..in some ways here a lot in the media seem to have an agenda which you have to take in account..:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106506707783681962.post-76370817508609187382008-11-27T19:19:00.000+10:002008-11-27T19:19:00.000+10:00Hi ShadowWas that episode long enough for you?

It's hard to decide whether to believe a story or not. I'm one for being skeptical about almost everything that I read in a newspaper. I need more than one source to be convinced.June Savillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00194576632686640776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2106506707783681962.post-69633199917263313112008-11-27T18:01:00.000+10:002008-11-27T18:01:00.000+10:00believe journalists??? that depends largely on the...believe journalists??? that depends largely on the integrity of the journalist and also, a lot depends on the editor i'd say. they control what gets said about which topic, and as a result, that is what people get to read... journalists are important as far as highlighting or making people aware of issues, spreading information as such. whether it's always the truth is debatable.Shadowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05999801833389058410noreply@blogger.com
