iReports

After navigating through the site I found that many of the iReports were already on CNN. I had to search around to find some that hadn't been aired on cnn.com.

(1)Pacific Science Center in Seattle - this was a report with two slides in it describing the science center in Seattle and what was offered. There was about a paragraph under the two slides that mentioned the attractions within the center. I really didn't find this iReport to be interesting- both the text and the two pictures weren't enough to encourage me to visit the science center. This really shouldn't be considered news. The report was just telling the viewer that this was something to someone could go see, without any real purpose. CNN doesn't need to add this slideshow to their programming. The authors would need to beef up the slideshow, adding both more text and pictures.

(2)Coast Guard Rescues Stranded Motorists From Ike Flood Waters- This video of Coast Guard rescuers attending to stranded motorists in Galveston, Texas, is very interesting and informative. You are able to see footage from a helicopter and hear the communication between the Coast Guard attending to the flood victims and the dispatcher. The only complaint about this video would be the sound quality. However, it is obvious that the sound wouldn't come in crystal clear due to the circumstances. This is a video I would want to see on CNN and I am sure others in the country would take interest.

(3) Let's Make the World a Better Place- This video was created by June Rochelle; she sings and demonstrates her appreciation for her right to vote. Her song tells how both men and women tried to make the world a better place many years ago, alluding to the right for women to vote and equality for all. She has a voice that a certain type of audience would enjoy. Personally, I did not like the video as a whole. However, I did like clips of the video that show change and reflect on history. I don't think this particular video needs to be shown on CNN.com.
