welcome to my blog

with the recent media appeals tribunal (MAT) gaining momentum and support it makes me sad to realise that I might be contained and controlled! let us hope that the MAT will only control what is on print media because otherwise my blog would be in shambles :(

WEEk SEVEN

This week made me realise how much work I needed to catch up on. I mainly did research about our articles focusing on our group title of pros and cons of the media appeals tribunal and the protection of information bill and I found some interesting arguments between political parties. apparently the protection of information bill is not aimed at covering up wrong doings but to protect information that might pose a threat to national security.  Therefore for example if this bill is approved a ministers whereabouts would not be enclosed, not just general whereabouts but details of accommodation in hotels and travel even though it is detected that they might be travelling more or using excessive amounts of tax payers monies. There if that minister is misusing the funds the public will not now about it because disclosing such information may pose a threat to their personal security. Therefore this protection of information bill will be biased and one sided since the public has the right to know if their money Is being misused. Other things that I had to do this week or that were done was uploading our first draft as a group which was successfully done. We also worked with openshot which was a bit challenging at first but I ended up enjoying it. it kinda made me feel a bit like some movie director or producer but it was a nice fun experience. The sad thing though is that I saved my work in the desktop that I was using since I lost my USB and when I came back to watch it again IT WAS GONE :(( so I'm kinda sad about that but on the bright side without the strikes interference I had a good week.
