the shooting is a pause in the schedule of life; it doesn't stop it

While the students are given the option on what they want to do when it comes to the next part of their academics these messages that are being sent is providing the idea that even though an event such as this has occurred, life resumes and what occurred will be nothing more than that.

This article was posted 3 days after the shooting and it uses the word 'veteran' to describe the stepmom's position as a deputy sheriff---something that she no longer seems to obtain.

there is a training class being held to protect against an active shooter but there is not anything being shared that speaks on getting people mental help if they need it or working to prevent the violence in the first place.

there is the need for a change in safety procedures through FSU but not an argument that there is a greater issue at hand that needs to be fixed.

Could this have been prevented before it even started though?

This is not something that should be the core of what is taught. . . instead of making precautions of safety for those who could be victims actions against the start of events like this should be a part of the narrative.

This event is being portrayed as normal and just another school shooting in history. Students have been learning drills and have become prepared for these events.

Ikner chose to change his name because of his last custody interaction with his biological mother who attempted to take him out of the country.

Ikner was struggling and facing mental illnesses--whether it is genetic or environmental challenges is unknown

She is painting the light that she is not at fault and is completely innocent when it came to impacting Ikner as a child and that because of the step mom and father, Ikner has developed into this killer.

This article dives into Ikner's childhood sharing how he had to repeat kindergarten and that there was a bitter custody battle that "consumed" his childhood.

using this to catch the attention of the reader and sharing that she is in shock by these actions is an interesting technique because it has been shared through various sources that the biological mother hasn't had custody of Ikners for 10 years. Without knowing this information however, it appeals to the narrative that Ikners stepmom and father have impacted his life in a negative way and that he wasn't always this person.

Ikner was made into this killer. His childhood---at fault to his parents---shaped who he is now.

The only issue according to the grandma that Ikner's had

The use of this picture is a creative choice that also ties in to building the facade of a relationship even though no real relationship was there.

Both the grandma and the biological mother had not seen Ikner in 10 years impacting the credibility of the source and how much the grandma really knows.

highlighting that his biological family is distraught is a use of word choice to help play into the idea that this grandma has a relationship with Ikner and is close with him and his parents in some regard and has witnesses these claims she makes. While biological that does not mean that there is a developed relationship between this source and Ikners.

Titling this an exclusive gives direct relation to the fact that Daily mail writes sensational stories and that they are a tabloid. They want people's attention and they do this primarily through their word choice.

His views are being backed by student's accounts and student sources---this is consistent through many of the articles.

This takes away credibility from his grandmother because the contact between Ikner and his biological mom was non-existent so did he even have a relationship with his grandmother?

This is consistent through many articles. However a change is that it is surrounded by quotes from his grandmother that pose his parents as the reason for these views and not that they were decisions that Ikner made himself.

This interview where this article has been constructed from is not even straight from People. It came from daily mail which is a british tabloid news source and typically focuses on sensational stories.

This biological grandmother is also the mother of the biological mother who once broke a custody agreement after the divorce---a primary reason for why Ikner was under the supervision of his dad and step mom

People Magazine is a human interest story and celebrity new source. This means that they write primarily soft news and that more of their stories are going to use sources that are the central part of the story and spend less time discussing more of the facts of the case.

This parent is not related to this shooting at all but has a similar experience and is sharing his sentiment with the public.

A student vocalizing that it is common and shouldn't be adds to the narrative.

This is the third student to speak on the shooter's political views. The one who was shocked about his behavior also experienced Ikner in the same environment and group as this student.

He is the governer of Florida and is a part of the republican party.

This student contradicts the student in the article above, stating that Ikner had a strong political opinion that was too far.

this gives the perception that it is not Ikner that is responsible for his actions but there were other reasons leading him to this act. While some share that his political views are strong and radical, this student shared that he believed the student was normal and nice.

This is said but what is done to stand in community and prevent it from happening again.

First message is written just 40 minutes after the school shooting started and it comes in response to a X post by FSU

Using data and numbers to make this look like it is something that occurs all the time and is "normal". While that is not necessarily wrong in the frequency, it is something that shouldn't be normalized

FSU has had its second school shooting

"Things like this take place" should not be something that is said or said about school shootings.

A student was interviewed and his view on the shooting is shared. This is a common thing that is seen throughout the articles

There is a law that was placed after the Parkland shooting that people are currently trying to reverse. They want to lower the gun-buying age back to 18, but students who experienced the violence on April 17th are working to block this effort.

For some of the students on the FSU campus, it wasn't there first school shooting. This isn't something that someone should even have to experience once, but the fact that they have experienced it twice is not normal but revealed as normal.

the tape is a boundary that is keeping the students and community from entering the active crime scene, but this tape that is there now is a boundary that wasn't there before and didn't limit the shooter from dangering the people there. Its a boundary after the fact and there's no protection before the event.

the flowers signify a memorial and paying respect to the people that died; it shows griefing.

In this video there is a interview that occurs with a student that shares the sentiment that he first thought that it was a fire alarm but then realized it was an active shooter and he panic and wonder if it was real.

This video begins with clips of students and other people running showing the fear that occurred in a situation like this. It pans back and forth to videos from the press conference that occurred at FSU and part of this highlights the fact that the gun that was used was the mom's gun and that she is a sheriff.

This argues that regardless of the kid's mental status, the actions of the parents make the difference in the actions of the kid.

His childhood was rough and included a rough custody battle with his biological mother and father. He was currently in the care of his biological father when the shooting occurred.

More information about the shooter and his political views are shared but it is unsure how he came to believe in these different views.

While the central focus of the article up until this point has been the environment and parenting that the shooter had grown up around had impacted his actions, there is now a mention of potential mental issues that could have played a role.

Because of his mothers role as a sheriff deputy, being exposed to training and other related experiences, is largely because of her and the parenting that surrounded the trainings.

This narrative of the parents having responsibility is something that is evident across school shootings as well and not just unique to this case.

connecting this incident back to the school shooting that occurred in Oxford, Michigan 4 years ago when the parents were just recently charged and held responsible for the mass shooting is important in constructing a narrative that the parents are responsible. In this case, it appears that there is questions about the step-mothers responsiblity.

The headline is the most important part of the article and includes all of the information that is key. In this headline, it is mentioned twice that the FSU shooter was the son of a sheriff, emphasizing that this connection is important.

Because of changes in the economy because of the presidency, feelings about the economy have changed and this poll reflects that

The survey was conducted by YouGov; they use active polling which according to their methodology on their website is:

When using active sampling, restrictions are put in place to ensure that only the people contacted are allowed to participate. This means that all the respondents who complete YouGov surveys will have been selected by YouGov, from our panel of registered users, and only those who are selected from this panel are allowed to take part in the survey.

It is representative of adults nationwide but this is based off of another survey and the presidential vote

Sample size

From February until now the percentage of American's that expect the economy to be in recession increased and the percentage that expected it to be booming/growing decreased.

This poll was conducted between March 24-26th. The Margin of Error is also reported at +/- 2.5 points, which means that this poll was most likely random

Not a literal drought, but the idea that Texas hasn't made the tournament in a while and it mimics the idea of breaking a drought when the team can go farther in the tournament.

This metaphor is tied to the fact that Miller's players from Xavier would be players that already fit to the way Miller plays and would be able to take the place of players that Texas Basketball is losing.

Where is this information coming from? There is no outwardly said welcoming by anyone and it would most likely just be an assumption about Swain.

The term inside scoop is a metaphor for understanding what it means to get information that is harder to obtain and from inside sources.

This term and a lot of other ways that this article is written make me feel less trustworthy about it. There are wording choices that the author has taken the creative liberty to use that leave a certain connotation to the overall message.

The idea of the transfer portal in general is a metaphor. It is an online location where players place their names if they are open to playing for another school. Literally, a transfer portal would move one person to another place instantaneously but this metaphor or term covers the understanding of what it means for a player to enter it realistically.

To start off, the headline has a metaphor for understanding Coach Miller's relation to Texas Basketball. Realistically Sean Miller is not literally on top of Texas Basketball, but there is still the understanding that he is now the coach despite the metaphor.

The author uses a quote in the headline that inflicts an opinion that introduces the article

in addition to just writing about the measles outbreak, the article goes deeper to discuss information about measles, its symptoms, and information about the vaccine.

The third public health person to speak and all three sources were from the media briefing.

This is the second person to speak but both people chosen to give quotes have worked in public health and can be seen as experts

This article is written in a way that is pro-vaccines and encourages them. The article uses Wells's quotes and other information about measles to encourage vaccination.

This is proof of PR working to get a message out.

This word choice again is interesting and reveals more about the news sources view instead of remaining neutral.

Most of the quotes are of Elon Musk's daughter who had an interview with the news media. This is PR in the sense that what is being reported on is her view of her father.

The word 'estranged' in language outside of a quote is the journalist's words...if this news media is writing on a fact-based view, there is opinion in their word choice more than just a perspective.
