Print journalism

On September 7, 2016 we had a lecture on print journalism. This lecture we talked about newspapers and magazines. Print journalism  really started to spread in 1450 when Gutenburg created his version of the printing press. He created it With two benefits compared to bi sheng. One thing that changed is it was less fragile because it was made of a stronger metal then Bi Sheng. Also they had set letters so for every word Gutenburg didn't have to make a new symbol he just had to put the letters in a specific order. Overtime there was only one print publication that started out in the early times and is still going on that is newspapers. It is over 460 years old.
I feel that this lecture we really only brought up a lot of dates and had some other information. Even though Mr.Miller told us that we didn't have to remember any of those dates, except for 1879, I still feel like I need to know them. I feel that in that lecture I didn't get as much out of it as some of the other lectures we have had. I feel like I don't know the material that well. I don't really remember dates so throwing all those dates out there and then telling me I didn't need to know them kind of confused me, because then why would you tell us all these dates. In that lecture I did learn a lot of new vocabulary. Such as broadsheet. Broadsheet is basically a big poster people hang up. I don't really remember this information that well because we didn't really go into as much detail as we usually do. I mean Mr.Miller explained all the information well, but since I'm a visual learner hearing information doesn't really help me I also have to see a visual for it. You don't have to make a picture or diagram for every word but for the big ideas have something shown on the board for visual learners. Overall I didn't really get much from this lecture and hope to get more from future lectures.
