Story 1:

 Using the ‘Holocaust’ Metaphor

Summary:
In 2003, PETA launched a new campaign, named "Holocaust on Your Plate," That compares the slaughter of animals for a human to use to the murder of 6 million Jews in WWII. "Holocaust on your Plate," Juxtaposes 60-square-foot visual displays of animals in a slaughterhouses wit scenes of Nazi concentration camps. Abraham Foxman, The U.S Anti-Defamation League national director and a Holocaust survivor was Highly offended by PETA's campaign.

Opinion:
 As a Russian/Jew I Am highly offended by this. Although I do Love an care for animals and agree with PETA on some terms this is far beyond okay. I lost my Great Great Grandfather to it and many others. This is no way to compare what we eat to human lives.

Story 2:

Aaargh! Pirates! (and the Press)

Summary:
The music industry sales are declining since 1999 due to illegal music downloads. The Digital music community is very vast so it is hard to track down how it all began. In the recent years, fans had refused to buy the music. with iTunes and other music apps, it made the music industry seem a little outdated. These services are allowing the people to listen to the leaked music but not download it onto their hard drive (which is the problem). They are pointing fingers to the Billboard and Rollingstone, but as they said they are not forcing the readers to download it.

Opinion:
 I don't have much a say on this topic but I do know the old fashion buying the song is simply a thing of the past. I'm honestly no surprise that there are illegal downloads of music via online. In our day of age, we listen to the music for free or on a paid subscription. Of course, though it is not a good thing to steal or download yet to be released music or just music in general. welcome to 2-18 and counting.

Story 3:

Controversy over a Concert

Summary:
      During the elections in 2004, some concerts were funding certain political parties. Due to this journalists aren't supposed to be on any side and the main head forbids them from attending these concerts even when they are not in the on the job. This caused a feud in the office since the head was stopping them from going to a concert they want to enjoy. The big question was " Is it fair to ask newspaper staffers, or employs at other news media, for that matter, not to attend events that may have a political purpose? Are the rules different for different for different jobs at the news outlet? The decision was made by the top executive at Rocky Mountain News.

Opinion:
I don't hold much of an opinion for this story to be completely honest, but I do think restricting staff from going to a concert for a political reason is a little too much. I would rather it not be a problem and just let the staff enjoy the music that they paid to go see no matter where the money is going.
