On the 1st meeting, we mainly focused on comparing all the materials that we had collected for PB4 so far. Our topic is “text”, so our materials covered the whole media “text”: from TV, newspapers, radio, websites to social networks. We also came up with a temporary and simpler meaning of our topic: “text” is what we capture with our eyes and ears, then we interpret it with our brain and experiences.

We broke down our topic because it is too general. Then, Aisha brought up some of the latest affairs of news reporter and those were really  interesting. After discussing about those affairs, we chose news media as our key media “text”. However, news media is still too big, so we decided to gathered more academic materials relating to news media and to write annotation of those ones. I think we are going on a right track.
