i need 2 reply, each reply should answer two questions the author posts .and each reply only need 100 words.first discussion: Joshua SampsonDate: Sept. 26, 2016To: RPW 300From: Joshua SampsonRe: Rhetorical Genre Analysis Memo DraftThe purpose of this memo is to stress the importance of political writing in journalism today. To begin, I would like to point to recent events as evidence. Hillary Clinton fainted during a 9/11 ceremony and many articles were written about the incident. Here’s is an excerpt from my Genre Analysis about the subject of topics and their appropriateness for the reader: “Consider the article about Hillary Clinton from CBS, she is not accused of being dishonest or disloyal, but the article simply talks about her health problems. This also plays into the content and what is deemed important.” Political writing is significant writing for readers to consume as it is political in nature, provides up-to-date information, and offers something timely for users to digest without being irresponsible. The purpose of such articles are to elicit a response from the reader, to get them engaged, or open their minds to new topics.Second, I would like to use the Valley Vanguard as evidence of the importance of political writing. While the stories in the Vanguard are not often political, they show how a newspaper formats and uses AP style to get content to readers. Here, the style is important because AP is the best possible way to get content into a reader’s head with few obstacles, such as sentence length or confusing syntax. This allows a political writer to get as many facts and as much information into a reader as quickly as possible. The effects of such might be the difference between a journalist keeping or losing his job.Often times, the Valley Vanguard is the leading publication on SVSU’s campus to put a situation in context, whether it is simply a police brief or an article about a recent political controversy. The context of any situation covered by a newspaper will impact how a writer approaches the genre. For instance, if a political writer is covering a political scandal, in what ways should they be sensitive to the material? The full context of such an incident might reveal that a political writer must tread carefully to obtain his information.Another important topic to introduce about political writing is formatting in the newspaper. As stated my Genre Analysis, “The layout of political writing is dependent on whether it is in print or online. If it is in print, there are multiple ways to lay-out a newspaper page and multiple ways to showcase a collection of political stories.” The New York Times, in this instance, will run a masthead picture, perhaps a picture in the right hand corner, and if the article has to do with a specific politician, it will have a picture of the politician’s face. (Picture of New York Times Front Page) Figure 1 New York Times: Wikipedia.orgThe genre of political writing often influences writers by how often something political happens in a community. As an example, if it is small town news, a journalist may only approach a political issue once a month when he/she is covering a local community board meeting. If they are a national correspondent, then they will probably address something political each nightwo questions are:What can I add to my draft as far as content to give more depth to the idea of political writing?In what ways could I make politiacl writing seem more user-friendly, so everyone can enjoy it?second discussion:Amanda FirminghamDate: September 27, 2016To: Dr. Scott KowalewskiFrom: Amanda FirminghamSubject: Rhetorical Genre AnalysisIn the following I address Psychological research reports for my rhetorical genre. These reports are written by psychological investigators on research they have performed. In this genre reports are written so that information is clear, simple, and in a particular structure that is widely accepted by the audience at large. These reports are very important for applied Psychology. They gather data into a single selection and allows for inferences to be made based on what the author had discovered. The author must consider where their ideas originate, what inferences they make about their data, and the wording that they choose. If these things are not thought about during the creation then the author is subject to discreditation. If this happens then their findings are likely ignored and what may have been very beneficial is lost. The wording, as mentioned, provides the context and nature of the report. This is how the reader decides if the research is ethical, logical, or even beneficial to the field itself. This is why one minor mishap in the genre then the author loses total credit for the report. After methodology and data has been considered the author will have a discussion section. THey will talk about what can be done to improve on the research they had just conducted. They will offer support, or refute the previous ideas mentioned in the introduction. FInally, they explain where this data can influence future research. All this information is methodically written in a structure that is consistent to all modern APA approved journals. The paper is sectioned off so that inferences, methods, and data are not overlapping one another. This provides the reader with a clear and simple report. THis makes it easy for the reader to pick and choose what information they want to use and find.My questions here are, in the grand scheme of things does my memo make logical sense?Also, do I focus enough on what the reader gets out of the report or am I weighing too heavy on it?
