Mars - Life Signs?

Nasa have found life signs from Mars. They found so called fossil bacteria from the old underground glacier of the Mars which is formed long time ago before us humans. Scientists made this discovery few days ago and they are quite sure that this found have very important meaning for whole humankind.

"This is not the case of small green men." Said the discovery presented Dr. Daniel Goldin. Who said also that: "None of the evidence does not support the fact that there would have been higher forms of life in Mars." They still have to get dozens of new samples and measuring results before can be said anything exact.

However it is premature. Discovery has not yet been certified and its interpretation is incomplete.

Mia's Media Diary

I’ve always thought that I should watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. According to my media diary I’m absolutely right. I estimated that I’d watch TV and sit in front of the computer maybe 12 hours a week but the diary shows that the real consumption is 20 hours or more. What comes to listening to the radio, reading news papers, watching films and seeing ads on the street I managed to estimate the time I use them quite well. I listen to music and the radio for about 10 hours weekly, I read news papers approximately 3 hours weekly and I watch films 7 hours a week. I see ads on the street every day almost every second so it’s really hard to say an exact amount of days, hours or minutes I see them.

I guess it’s no surprise that I often become interested of things in the media that concern me. For example if I see there’s an article about how much young people use drugs I find it more interesting that an article about if Matti Vanhanen has a secret affair. Things that interest me are e.g. sports, young people and what they think and peoples opinions in general, food, music and culture, so those are the things I like to find out about. I also think it’s interesting to read an article or watch a TV document about family problems and crimes that happen or have happened around the world. I like them because they make me realize how lucky I am to have my family, live in quite a safe environment and have a chance to a good education.

I like to watch TV with my family or friends, especially series and movies, because we can laugh together and discuss about something that has been brought up in a document for example. If I listen to music it really doesn’t matter if I’m alone or not. The only difference is that if I’m alone I can sing as loud as I want and no one complains (). Reading news papers and magazines is something I like to do alone because it’s disturbing to have someone wanting to turn the page when I’m not done and vice versa. However I like to ask my mom or dad about something if I don’t understand it and it usually grows to a conversation about the issue I’ve asked about.

Most of the time I’m in touch with the media is for my own entertainment. I watch the news and read e.g. Helsingin Sanomat because I like to know what’s going on in the world and in Finland. Most of the time when I’m on the Internet I do it by my self because there might be something private I don’t want anyone to see like an e-mail. If I’m on the Internet with my friend it’s usually because we look at someone’s pictures on Facebook or something like that.

Little Red Riding Hood and grandma attacked by a wolf!

By Maija Palmujoki

Little Red Riding Hood was going to her grandmother’s house while she ran in to the big bad wolf. Apparently they had a short conversation where Miss Hood told the wolf where she was going. The police believe that this was a critical mistake, and say that whenever you are going to your grandmother’s house alone and you run into a talking wolf do not tell it where you are heading. Miss Hood unfortunately didn’t know this.

A short while after the chat with the wolf Miss Hood arrived to her grandmother’s house, but was terrified by the way she looked. Miss Hood told the police that she knew her grandmother was sick but she wasn’t expecting anything like this. “Grandma looked very hairy, and her nose and teeth and ears were massive! “, Miss Hood states. If only Little Red Riding Hood had realized that this certainly wasn’t her grandmother she could have avoided the traumatic event that was about to come. “I asked grandma a few questions about her appearance because I just had the feeling that everything wasn’t quite right, and then… it happened”, Miss Hood says and busts into tears. Apparently the wolf had ran to Grandmother’s house after Little Red Riding Hood had told him where she was going, then eaten her grandmother and dressed up in granny’s clothes so he could eat Miss Hood as well. Unfortunately the wolf’s plan was so well thought out that he actually succeeded. After eating Miss Hood and grandmother, the big bad wolf took a nap. Luckily A huntsman was just passing by and thought he would go visit granny. To his surprise he didn’t find her in her rocking chair like usually, instead he saw a big fat wolf lying in the bed. The huntsman immediately realized what had happened and took out his knife and cut the beast’s belly open, freeing Miss Hood and grandmother. Both of them were surprisingly unharmed, but according to doctors they might experience some posttraumatic stress.

The wolf is now being charged of attempted murder and of eating a senior citizen. The Sherwood news will be reporting the case results tomorrow, when the court gives out their decision.

Snow White poisoned by evil stepmother
By Mia Rindell

Snow White, the daughter of the king and queen of Germany, was poisoned late yesterday afternoon in southern Germany by her jealous and evil stepmother who was jealous of Snow White's beauty. Snow White came back to life today morning when the piece of the poisoned apple came out of her throat accidentally.

Snow White’s stepmother, the king’s new wife, had been disguised as a farmers wife and had given Snow White the poisoned apple. After taking a bite of the apple Snow White had collapsed on the ground and the dwarfs she was living with had found her lying there. A prince traveling through the land had seen Snow White in her coffin and had fallen in love immediately. He had asked the dwarfs if he could get the coffin for himself with Snow White in it. While the prince’s servants were carrying the coffin away they stumbled and the piece of the poisoned apple had flown out of Snow White’s throat and she woke up. The prince and Snow White is planning to get married.

The investigations have shown that this was the queen’s third attempt to murder her stepdaughter. The motive, the queen tells, is that her magic mirror had told her that she wasn’t the most beautiful woman in the world because Snow White was more beautiful than her. The queen will be sent to multiple psychological tests and doctors will examine her for any kinds of hints of schizophrenia.

LIFE ON MARS

Three meteorites are now been found and investigated by ultra-high tech research implement so they’ve been able to found some microbe life from the stone element. Nasa also says that the life that’s been found is almost 1.4 billion years old, which means it could be possible that there’s some more developed life on Mars nowadays. Some scientists also believe that Mars has actually started its development some meanwhile as Earth.

If so, there could a good chance for that we’re not the only ones at the universe.

We chose the Sun because its front page caught our attention with its screaming red color and big font’s. Being a tabloid, The Sun focuses on entertaining people with stories about celebs etc. The front page is full of dramatic pictures and bright colors that make you want to read all the “trash” it contains while you are waiting for your turn in the queue at the cashier.

Brand identity in newspapers by Jude Law and Mia Hamm

The Daily Mirror

The front page: The colours are red and black and the font is sans serif. In other words this paper is definitely not a broadsheet, it's a red-top tabloid. The splash is "Paris back to jail", which tells you pretty much everything you need to know about the Daily Mirror's values. People love to see others fail and this paper gives you excactly that. Then there's a few puffs that are titled Big Bro exlusive. On the top of the page, next to the masthead, there's a small picture of a man and a text saying "Iraq's 150th victim: He gave his life to save a comrade". Besides the fact that people like to read about other people failing, they also like to read about everyday heroes and survival stories.

Lotta's media diary.

I kept a media diary for a weekend and realized how much time I really use on computer or watching TV, because I used to think that I wouldn’t never spend over five hours on computer per day. But the results told something else.

Usually in the morning I immediately check my telephone, put the TV on and start watching news, commercials and serials. After that I surf on the Internet, where I like to read the news all the time and use a lot of different sites, especially Facebook. I’m surrounded by media almost with everything I do. Even in bus I’m listening radio or mp3 –player and reading ads in front of me, almost without realizing it.

I like to read fashion magazines and also useless magazines about celebrities and their life. But I read rarely traditional newspapers, because I like to read the news quickly and easily from the Internet. The main reason why I interact with Internet so often is that I want to be “updated” all the time. I like to know what is happening all around the world and know what my friends are doing and so on. Also I have to get information to my school works.

I use computer often when I’m alone, but I when I’m watching TV I’m with friends or family, so it’s more social thing.

I used to think that I can handle the media and I’m very media critical but now I’ve noticed how big role it plays in my everyday life. Nowadays it is hard to live without the media, but the question what I asked from myself is; Are all the types of media really necessary in our life? In my opinion, we just have to spend less time with the media.
