'I told her to punch me in
the face!': Jennifer Lawrence reveals she tried to 'make amends' with Joanna
Lumley after THAT BAFTAs joke... after 'offending the whole of England'
I have removed these quotes because they both contain
sensationalist language.She was hit with claims she was a 'rude, spoiled brat' after she made a jokey comment to Joanna Lumley onstage at Sunday night's BAFTAs.
I have changed “hit with” to received because hit with makes it sound violent and aggressive. And Jennifer Lawrence has revealed she went to extreme lengths to 'make amends' with the 71-year-old actress, playfully saying she could 'punch me in the face' during a interview on Wednesday's Lorraine.
The 27-year-old Oscar winner also said she was worried she had 'offended the whole of England' after the comment, which saw her scathingly brand host Joanna's gushing introduction as a 'bit much.'
The Silver Linings Playbook star said: 'I spoke to her (Joanna) yesterday and she knew there was such a furore.
I have changed this to an issue because it makes it sound less dramatic.
'I love Joanna Lumley, when I saw her, I grabbed her and was like I love
you, big me up on stage.
Oh dear: The star continued: 'Then she said these
lovely things about me and as a joke I was like, calm down. Boy did that go
wrong'
Revealing a rather unusual way she had offered to reconcile with Joanna, the star hilariously admitted: 'I emailed her and said to her if you want to come over to my hotel and punch me in the face before we go to lunch that’s fine

Jennifer earlier hit back at claims she had been rude to the
Absolutely Fabulous star during the ceremony.

P2-citizen journalism
Citizen journalism
This is when members of the public are involved in reporting the news instead of mainstream newspapers. They function outside of mainstream media this is often caused because the person who runs the journalism site feels that mainstream media has let them down. The audience becomes the producer and uses their knowledge of the press to inform their audience.
Sharing
This allows the reader of a news article to share it with people on multiple platforms such as social media. This means that more people read the news article than would have originally. Sharing an article means that it may go viral this is when lots of people keep sending it
Having a comment section on a news article means that the audience can get involved and comment what they think about the article. The publisher of the article can see what their audience think about the article.
Trending/hashtags
When lots of people use a hashtag it will be in the worldwide trends list this means that lots more people will read it. This is because when people see something is trending they want to know what it is and why its trending so they click on it. The more people that click it the longer it will stay in the worldwide trends list.

P2-Wikinews VS CBS
Wikinews
CBS News
Both of these articles are about how America have moved
their embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In the Wikinews article
they are neutral they report the facts and show no bias however on the CBS
article they show negative bias towards the story one example of this is how
the CBS article describe the decision as” contentious” the use of the word contentious suggests that
they believe this decision will cause conflict and do not agree with the
decision that has been made by America.
The CBS article
goes in to a lot more depth and is a longer article than the citizen journalism
article on Wikinews. The article on Wikinews is only 315 words long compared to
the CBS article that is 1026 words long. The purpose of the Wikinews article is
to quickly provide you with the facts. The CBS article uses opinion an example
of this is when it says “is
sure to heighten the frustration of Palestinians and America's Arab allies”
This quote tells us that the CBS journalist believes that this decision
CBS have
included a video in their article about how the UN have condemned Trump for
moving the embassy. This video has been included because CBS agree with the
view of the UN. CBS also believe that moving the embassy was bad. Including a
video also means that you don’t have to read as much text this will make the
article more appealing.
Another example
of how they show negative bias is when it says “Trump's policy shift set off
protests and condemnation across Arab and Muslim countries” this quote is
further proof of how CBS disagree with the decision that Trump has made
regarding Israel.
In the CBS
article they frequently refer to Donald Trump as MR Trump instead of president
Trump in the Wikinews article they always refer to him as president Trump. This
suggests that CBS are not even recognizing that he is president. This further
shows that CBS has negative bias and that Wikinews is neutral and is just
reporting the story.
