Has the authenticity and truth been taken out of media ?

After watching and reading the news reports about the Boston Marathon tragedy, I became frustrated with the media once again. In similar fashion as previous incidents, the same information was repeated me for hours.

"Analysts" gave their opinions on what they thought happened, and news reporters beat me over the head with obvious information. As a former communications major I learned that the media was supposed to be non-bias, and that they were supposed to bring nothing but the truth to the consumer.

But that's the exact opposite of what's actually happening. Reporters are so anxious to be the first to report that they will go on national television and report garbage instead investigating to find the truth.

Wale, Kirko Bangz, and White Panda to preform at Buffalo State SpringFest

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With the semester coming to an end, anticipation for end of the year festivities is beginning to grow. A major topic of discussion amongst Buffalo State College students, other college students from various schools in the area, and the Buffalo community is the Buffalo States Springfest on May 11th; featuring rappers Wale and Kirko Bangz, and DJ White Panda.

 

In reference to choosing an artist for Springfest, we can only imagine how difficult it is to attempt to please the masses. Buffalo State College is a very diverse campus, (and in saying that, diversity would expectantly affect the preferences of those who attend) Wale, in my opinion is an excellent choice to be this year’s headliner.

 

 

 

The Grammy nominated artist has a great variety of music and numerous notable features on many of today’s most popular artist’s songs. Kirko Bangz is also another great choice due to his versatility to be able to both rap, as well as sing.

 

Overall, it is expected to be a great turnout for this year’s Springfest, and for only $5 with your Buffalo State ID, it would be a great way to spend your Saturday!
