The topic of horoscopes is important to me because I have always had a strange relationship with horoscopes. I've never personally believed in them, nor have I thought that they should play a role in relationships. On the contrary, I've found myself gravitating toward looking at what my daily horoscopes says or "who I'm compatible with". This dichotomy has always been in the back of my mind; this makes me wonder, do I really believe in horoscopes? Many people in society have used horoscopes as a way of comparing themselves with other, mainly in relationships. Nonetheless, the characteristics that coincide with each zodiac sign are vague and can relate to almost any person. Some individuals will go to extremes and use zodiacs as a means to justify actions and decisions.
I believe that our news report was an effective way to address the issue because it provides a different way to look at an issue that isn't commonly spoken about. The dramatic and funny trailer and creates a new perspective in the audience. Our news report awakens the audience to a topic that they may not have seen as an issue. In this project, I was an actor (live and in video), I edited the group paper, and was a writer for the in-class script.
