The media did play a role in reporting the events in Little Rock Arkansas. One positive thing is that because they reported it the world could see what they was doing to blacks down the Arkansas and try to prevent it from happening again. Another positive thing about reporting the events is that if somebody wasn't telling the whole truth they would have the story in video. One challenge that they could've had when the media was there is because there was a big mob they couldn't get to where the story was.
I think the media played a big role in the Little Rock Arkansas because if there wasn't any media no one would have none about the story and what was going on.
I think the the role was really big because alot of things was happening that day.The positive things was of the reporters that helped Elizabeth. I thought it was nice of them that they helped her get out of the school area and what not. The challenges was that the mob was harrasing Elizabeth and wanted to attack her,And her not being able to enter the school. The media was also harrased because of the reporter Ben Fine , helping Elizabeth which made him replaced by another reporter.
I think the role the media is playing is a very big one because to me they can be doing on of two things the first thing they could be doing is cause the crowd to act up even more,two making this a public appreance so that people are aware of whats going on so they see how people can be so crule to stop a person from going to get their education.
They were very strong. I sure wouldn't want to be a reporter no matter how much money they gave. Not in those years. Being part of the media was a big issue a huge challenge. In one the reporter gets hit in the head with a brick. I wouldn't take that. I don't know what reporter it was but he said he decided not run but rather walk and get jumped. This remind me of what Gandhi. But on the other hand they got a lot of true facts about little rock nine.
positive and challenges the media had while reporting this event was it was a challenge for Elizabeth Eckford to walk in a all white school with her head hold up high. She did this while the whites was shouting at them. The positive is that she that she did it without putting up a fight with the whites.
The media played a really important event in reporting the even that was going on in the Little Rock Nine because they were the one that was taking all the information to people to tell them was going on in that place and some of them was in a really big danger because some of the was black reporter and some of the was helping out Elizabeth Eckford and they were really in danger because they were helping her out that why they call them nigger lover.
I think the media played the role of the interviewer. I think the media used these "reporters" to get the Little Rock Nine story. First Dr. Benjamin Fine was contested and then Alex Wilson. These reporters were given a chance to clarify the events that had taken place, the media got a visual of what happened from "their" eyes. The media really played an important role
The role the media played in Little Rock can be many different things in the time that all of this was happening. Some positives in the case with the media is that they may have caught some of the abuse some of the people were taking on camera and some of those people can be trialed for being so abusive. But some challenges are that when someone is being interviewed the people can swich up the the persons words to make it seem as if the interveiwee was wrong.
The media in my perspective has a big role to do with reporting the Little Rock 9. I say this because the played in the role of showing the world what is going on at that time. An example of this would be Jena Six. I say this because in order to get it out to the world we need the media.
The role that I think plays in the Little Rock Nine in the media is I think a challenge especially if your a African American. I think while you report you have a decision to make to either lie about what is going on s o that the white people could be satisfied but if it's to tell the trust and really show what's gong on. it's a dangerous job.
The media played a big role because they reported and recorded every event that had occurred. Whatever they seen that was different they would make observations and their own perspectives towards it. The media would go snooping around Arkansas video taping everything to show to all the citizens. The media would interviewed many people and to be around the mob it was hard because they could of gotten hurt trying to get a story.
The media played a very important role with the the events of Little Rock Arkansas. The most important and known fact was the reporters in these stories put them self in danger. Most of the time reporters were in a fight or being beaten. A lot of positive things came out the event. As the story became so much bigger and better. The students learned so much and came out on top. I believe the media showed the world the new future with the little rick nine
The media could of talked bad about the Little Rock nine. Saying that their own opinions. Like that black girl is starting trouble. She shouldn't be at that school. Only White people should go to that school. The media all didnt look at both sides of this event.
The role the media played was probably a good and a mad one. Some time the news is not always the truth about whats really going on sometimes its just people point of view so they almost bend the truth. The media must of felt different in a way because they had to try not to get involved in what was going on. If they said certain things about the media then they would probably have lost their job of some bad happen to them.
Maybe interpreting other people's perspectives. The challenges might be getting to the people because they are high profiled. The positive thing is that they got the chance to interview them.
I believe the roles the media played in reporting events in Little Rock Arkansas are it showed people what had happened and that was an positive role to show how the blacks were treated..
Different parts of the media, depending on their perspective, played either a positive or negative role. The reporters we read about were positive role models. The negative media were challenged or maybe even intimidated because Elizabeth Eckford and Alex Wilson would not respond. The positive media were being harmed and that made it a challenge. Even though those two were courageous it doesn't mean every one else who tried was as successful.
The media did in fact played a role in reporting the events in little rock Arkansas. these thing's remind us of jenna six, or emit till no one would have heard these strong sad story's if it wasn't for the media. this is why i think the media played a big part another example is how benjamin was contested and so was Alex wilson . this is why i think the media did play a part in the role of reporting.
The role I think the media plays in the little rock Arkansas events is the watched and filmed what blacks was going through. This helped notice that blacks was being treated very bad. this is a positive thing because the media helped make a change.
I think they played a good and bad role in the event because I know that there were a lot of people in the media that reported the event in a way that was some-what lies but at the same time there were some people that reported it the proper way it should be
The media took th role of letting all the events that was going on be seen by every one across the world,and showing how bad segregation was.The bad part was,It seem like the media was more on the white peoples side because they were white too. It seem like the media was amping the crowd up Which made it harder for the kids to get in the school.
I THINK THAT THE LITTLE ROCK ARKANSAS REPORTERS AT FIRST AT FIRST BEGAN TO PERFORM A REPORTERS ROLE. BUT I THINK AFTER, A WHILE WHEN THE REPORTERS SEEN HOW AWFUL THE AFRICAN AMERICAN PEOPLE WERE BEING TREATED THEY DECIDED TO ACT ON IT.THE POSITIVE THING THAT THE REPORTERS DID WAS TRY TO GIVE THE LITTLE ROCK NINE SOME POSITIVE FEEDBACK.
the media played a repoting role at little rock arkansas. they gave the full vewiw on what people could see in person even if they werent there at that spicific time. they showed evedince that blacks were being treated like dirt. they werent even soil they were dirt, the type of dirt that you step all over on all day. and this media made it clear to see that.
The role i think the media played is instigation. i think that they played that role becase they are alwayz trying to ask question that can make you very mad and that can aggravate you. Example: With the little arkansas kid they could be in the middle of a crowd who ant to fight them and the media askes how do you feel most likely you know the answer to that. or think to yourself if you were in a crowd of people who wanted to fight you then how would you feel you wouldn't even want to be borthered let alone talk to anyone in the crowd. I think that the media mad have had a chellenge with the stories like if they said some thing good about the kids noone would want to read the story.
The media played a role in reporting the events in Little Rock Arkansas one positive thing is that is for the fact that the reporter was talking to him and he just keep walkin. There was also one with this girl name Elisabeth Eckford there was people talking at her and to her and she would not say anything to them. one challenge thing that happen was thre was people that was trying to keep there kid safe and the will rik get hurt for there kids. i think
The role the media played in reporting events was very important. i thinks this because they could tell the people what happened that day or any day and how the people are reacting. one positive thing about reporting this event would be that the whole world could see how the blacks are being treated just because schools got Intergrated. another positive thing would be that they show the truth about everything and not just go with he said, she said. one challenge the media would have would probably have been getting harmed while being in the event. they probably would have got hurt real bad by the white mobs.
the role the media played in reporting the events in Little Rock Arkansas is they reported and recorded every event that had occurred on that day.
One reporter got hit in the back of his head with a brick, and i think that they didn't want the reporters there because they thought the reporters were being nosy, so they didn't like the reporters but the reporter why got hit in the head with a brick was a reporter so they didn't like him at that but to make matters even worse he was black so he had two things going against him and thats why i think the whites did what they did too him, an i think that is the worse thing you could ever do because he wasnt doing nothing to fight back so what was the point of hitting him in the head with a brick and he was just being there to do his job an he nearly died
the media did play a role in the event of Little Rock Arkansas one positive thing is that they get true information that helps there report also the world could see what is happening in other places one negative thing is that you cloud be risking your life so you wont loose your job like the reporter that go hit with a brick. those are the roles that the media played
The Media is a public connection to the world(Radio, T.V., Newspaper, and Internet) The role I think the media played in reporting the events in Little Rock, Arkansas is the people that helped the world realize that the we were not going to back down but also not fight back.
