Music plays a huge part in the way the world. Some of the ways that music plays its’ part is with marketing and advertising. Music goes very well when selling anything because people can easily remember the music that is associated with whatever is being sold.
Music can be a huge persuasion for people. For example, certain charity events such as Chime for Change uses music and musicians to help raise money for the cause. Beyonce was one of the main supporters of this event and it brought so many people together. A great source would be from WWD‘s website that explains what the charity and is and how there were major influencers. This would be a source of news because they have reliable sources that were interviewed which was the Gucci creative director. This allows for there to be more credibility for the information that is being brought to the audience.
Another source of actual news that surrounds Chime for Change by Gucci would be the newsletter that the actual website from Chime for Change has. The newsletter shows and describes a lot about the events and the big names that attended the events. This is considered real news because of the one fact that the source has actually given the correct information that is associated with the charity. The validity of the information is one hundred percent true because this is, in fact, the exact reason the charity is alive, because of the source writer.
Opinions and news are two completely different ways of receiving types of news. Opinions are a choice of words that point to judgment or view about something with no actual facts about what is being judged. When people read articles based on a person’s review, they have to understand how to decipher between what is factual and what is not true knowledge. An example of what an opinionated source could be is this blog called The Girls Are. This blog was written by Cheri Amour and it features some of how Amour feels about the entire charity and what happened. It also featured the bug names that were attached to the charity such as Jay Z and James Franco. This blog is considered an opinion because there would have to be some work to fact check how true the information is. Also, it is considered an opinion because Amour provides her opinion about how they felt about the entire event.
Interestingly, opinions can often be looked at as news if the opinion is strongly and intelligently worded. Often we as consumers consume a lot of unchecked opinions rather is on Instagram or Twitter. A lot of times, people really just do not know it and are just ignorant of much of the information that has been shared by different people. Another example of an opinion on Chime for Change would be this blog from Periscope which was written by Parker Shabala. This writing expresses the empowerment and shows the more positive and strong side of this huge event that was made to change the future for so many people. Again, opinions are typically judgements that people make on something that is not based on facts and this blog has just that. Some of the writing can be viewed as facts but must be checked for validity before considering what was read the first time actual news.
All in all, opinions versus news really makes a huge difference when it comes to understanding what is true in the world. There should definitely be more than one source of news and opinions in order to validate what is being researched. That is something that I really take into consideration and I find it very helpful in my everyday life.
