What would you do differently in this image if you had more time and/or skills? The image is a screen capture from an MP4 created using a Canon HD Vixia HF R62. The colors were translated from the color picker located at https://html-color-codes.info/colors-from-image/. The Hex Codes were translated into the names of the colors at http://chir.ag/projects/name-that-color/. The overall setup could have been staged at KNPB-TV (where I work) using a studio green screen and the control room to edit but the home version required a bit more of an effort to achieve even rudimentary results. In maintaining the theme of simplicity, it was edited on a Microsoft paint program.

What does this statement mean to you? There was a time when journalism was not web based and the reporter had to fend for himself with whatever means was available to him. That is partly the reason I chose not to create the Challenge at the KNPB studio. State-of-the-art equipment; lighting, cameras, editing rooms and final cuts, all readily available, would have been a takeaway from the process of basic media technique, much of it lost to modern technology.

Hi James, I think that this photo is very creative. I like how you were able to have the light in the photo match the word color. I think the quote compliments the photo as well. Great job!

Hello Janessa, Thank you for the comment. I readily admit that being photogenic is not one of my resume high points. Therefore it is necessary to adjust the lighting, take and retake, choreograph and rechoreograph and rehearse and re-rehearse for one simple image. Try to hide the flaws created by age, hair color and just plain not cut out to be a leading actor like Cary Grant. But it is true that self-confidence can create an environment to doubt something that is not authentic, a make-believe, a Wizard of Oz world evolving as a result of social media and its propensity to elevate even those with zero talent into the spotlight. Journalism is real and eventually it will separate the professionals from the amateurs.

Hi James,   I liked your photo because the green light matched your text color very well. Plus, the image clearly matched the quote, and they were so nice together!

Thank you Ran, The green light was not my first choice but on trying other colors in the image, none of them worked. The font is called "Bohemian typewriter"  and the size (probably) "35." That Remington typewriter in the photo is a gem and I searched every thrift shop in Reno and found it in the last one, The Thrift Depot, on East 4th Street. It is in mint condition minus only a ribbon. The tag was $80 but got it at a discount of $56. The  girl's comment when I carried it over to the counter was,
     "Is that thing finally going away?"

Hey James. I like what you said about journalism but I also don't consider it a detractor. If anything it is a sign of the change we have seen in our society. While the internet has fundamentally changed our news source and quality. It also allows for some great minds to emerge out from under the constrictive and damaging monopoly that the corporate monster used to hold.

Hello Malachi, Thank you for the insight. Newton Minow, in 1961, labelled television a "vast wasteland."  That was about the time series such as "Rawhide," "I Love Lucy" and "Leave It to Beaver" were popular; westerns and wholesome family sitcoms. Minow has yet to comment on the current trend of reality television. He has yet also to comment on what we see on the internet with blogging, fake news and social media.
"When television is bad, nothing is worse," Minow said in May of 1961. Almost nothing is worse.

CH203---Essay: John Winthrop and the Pequot War--UNIVERSITY OF NEVADA, RENO FALL 2018

CORE HUMANITIES 203 SECTION 1002 //DR STEVEN P.  //SUBJ: CITY UPON THE HILL 


(The Roundabout)--Sailing from England fearing possible action taken against the Calvinist-Puritan group, John Winthrop organized nearly a dozen ships, crossed the Atlantic and arrived in Salem in the summer of 1630. But there wasn't enough room or water there so the band of Puritans eventually settled what is now present day Boston. During the Atlantic crossing, Winthrop gave a high-winded speech on board the Arabella about God, duty and the (soon to be) American way of life in which he alluded to building a city upon a hill that would be the envy of the world. But the city would eventually be built on land taken from the Native Americans who had lived there for at least two centuries.

     Pequot-Americans and other indigenous tribes had long been working the land, hunting and fishing and growing crops but all of that would change when, as Tocqueville called them, the "Europeans" arrived. There was a fundamental cultural outlook on life stemming from the strict Puritan code that disallowed other religious viewpoints, one of the principal reasons they left England in the first place. Confronted with the pagan rituals and loose moral codes of the Indians, it is no wonder that soon the Puritans would begin to question why the natives were allowed to keep all the fertile land much in need for plantations and exploitation. The colonists were not directly under any requirement from the homeland to make the New World profitable but were bound to a charter that would at least guarantee some sort of nafta with the King. Where the Indians stood in it became muddled in competition from other British settlers, numerous tribes all of whom could not get along, and the Dutch. The result was ultimately a war, the Pequot War of 1636-38 to be specific. The Pequots, by the way, was already faced with extermination due to that other great killer of Indian nations, smallpox.

     Speechmaker John Winthrop, if not a key player in the decision to go to war with the Pequots, certainly didn't climb back up on the pulpit of the Arabella with another lecture on treating everybody equal, with one of his "four things to be propounded," as;  " love one another with a pure heart fervently," and " bear one another's burdens."  That translated to love one another's land fervently and bear one another's crops and furs. Without going into the details of the outcome of the war, history reports the Pequots were massacred (Mystic River, 1637), women and children included. Those that survived were shipped off to the West Indies to become plantation slaves; except for a few that Winthrop adopted as household servants, in other words, slaves.

     Winthrop's city upon the hill was built on expropriated Indian land following the extermination of the tribe that owned it, with the help of turncoat Native-American allies, and became known as Boston, ground zero of the American Revolution.
