The two readings are quite intriguing. Bishop's article focuses on the evolution of the print media coverage of Japanese-Americans during the duration of Pearl Harbor to when President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Executive Order. During this change, journalists originally played the role of “watchdog”, which challenged the government’s official version of events. After that, they switched roles to “guard dogs” which were groups that challenged other groups that they might suspect something might going on. They changed because the information they gathered is heavily dependent on the leaders, but it makes me wonder how it will change towards the media and the role of journalists.
“How did the shift in the role of journalists change and affect the coverage of Japanese American Internment in the media?
This article mainly focuses on how memory is such an important and complex process that it can alter cultural and political factors. Some of the factors that Sturken mentioned about how memory is not always a fixed entity, but a dynamic progress that shapes the present as much as the past. Memories were also mediated through mainly photography and film and it can be reenacted by act of remembrance and commemoration. This makes me wonder
“How has the technological advancement changed the way we remember and commemorate these historical events? How does social media in the general impact it?
