Dungy, C, T. (2020, Nov-Dec). The Abundance, Joy, Beauty, Persistence, Power, and Potential of Independent Publishing: A CONVERSATION WITH SIX BLACK EDITORS. Poets & Writers, Inc. https://go.gale.com/ps/retrieve.do?tabID=T002&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&searchResultsType=SingleTab&hitCount=1&searchType=BasicSearchForm&currentPosition=1&docId=GALE%7CA638300527&docType=Article&sort=Relevance&contentSegment=ZONE-MOD1&prodId=AONE&pageNum=1&contentSet=GALE%7CA638300527&searchId=R1&userGroupName=fl_sarhs&inPS=true This article dives into different conversations between Camille T. Dungy and five very impressive, leading Black editors: Heather Buchanan, Kwame Dawes, Mensah Demary, Parneshia Jones, and Alexander Watson. Dungy asks about their roles as being editors and what it means after a crazy year in 2020. A year filled with a highly contested election season, the #PublishingPaidMe conversation about inequities in book advances, and widespread protests against police brutality, and on top of that a global pandemic. 

After giving a brief description of these impressive figures' history and statues as authors, editors, and publishers, Dungy begins asking the group questions. She takes her time to form two long, well thought out questions regarding literature. Her first question pertained to the importance of abundance and joy in their world and also the editor's perspective of what an editor should be like. They discussed the importance of almost acting as a “advocate” to helping young African American writers develop and to also creating connections. They speak about finding their joy in watching the evolution of writers they’ve published and helping them become something. Many say that this joy is seen in helping the writers and that is the beauty of what they do. This also tied to how they felt an editor should be which is a helpful and directional leader. After Dungy reinstating the importance of editors to empower their writers and the generally unknown activities of the daily editor Dungy asks her second question for the editors. She asks them to share one specific task they undertake on a regular basis and why it is fundamental to their missions as editors. Buchanan explains the multiple plates that they have to juggle and think about daily as an editor. They explain the mass amounts of emails they receive and one of them tells how he has made a goal to try and answer 100 a day. Mainly they discuss they mass amounts of things to do and how planning to attack it is their goal. This article gives a very good perspective of what it means to be an editor and the dedication it takes.

She  talks about             the struggles faced as a group of individuals that are used to working  independently are shifted into             working in a group of forty members. The article illustrates  her focus on, and the importance of,                 stabilizing a culture of trust, collaboration, and  accountability in a newly formed group. With the                 help of a behavioral specialist they  worked on discussing the comfortable and u uncomfortable                 matters of working in a team  and immediately focused of taking down the conflicts of working in             a team. This article  highlights the importance of team growth and a team being able to efficiently                work  together because it is shown that even if a team has the best facilities at use, if they don’t                    know how to function together then they won't be productive.

Many factors are discussed that influence the team's efficiency such as: personality type, effective leadership, communication, and group cohesion. As discussed in the article these factors are strongly related to individual differences. It is shown that an effective group must contain individuals with these different characteristics. Ineffective teams are mainly due to a lack of different traits. The article sheds light on the fact that to be a productive team the individuals in the team must have different characteristics. There must also be a high level of harmony in the team. In the article the case example used to illustrate this showed that both teams comprised of very similar people because there also needs to be a relative base in the individuals.

The article depicts the different types of titles that the videographers created and the importance of the title sequence. Mainly the article is dedicated to discussing the different title sequences and style of those sequences. Also, their importance of hooking an audience's attention so they keep watching and stay interested. The article references many important figures in film and how they each had their own effected on titles. The author then drifts into discussing their importance. He includes his own opinions at some points in this article and some stories of how different titles were created. It becomes clear that the authors main purpose is promoting the importance of these titles and calls them very important and says they set up the rest of the film that’s being produced. He explains why they are crucial, and the big hook needed for audiences to continue to watch the film being created. With a splash of his own preferences and through casual writing Merril is able to put together a strong argument as to why titles are so crucial to the film industry. 

  Michael, F, S. (2020, Sept). An Interview with Ron Beghetto: Subtle Nuances of Creativity in Learning and Life. North American Journal of Psychology. https://go.gale.com/ps/retrieve.do?tabID=T002&resultListType=RESULT_LIST&searchResultsType=SingleTab&hitCount=1&searchType=BasicSearchForm&currentPosition=1&docId=GALE%7CA637227326&docType=Interview&sort=Relevance&contentSegment=ZONE-MOD1&prodId=AONE&pageNum=1&contentSet=GALE%7CA637227326&searchId=R3&userGroupName=fl_sarhs&inPS=true This article follows an interview between Dr. Ron Beghetto and NAJP, who is asking him the questions. All of the questions being asked are related to the importance of having a creative mind and clarification of certain things such as "Creative self-efficacy" but mainly the questions surround explaining how we as individuals and as a society can incorporate creativity into our lives. Beghetto is a renowned expert on creative thought and action in educational settings so it makes sense that he is the one answering these questions. There were many important points made in this article.  Beghetto expressed the importance of having confidence when it comes to creativity which is built through taking creative action, making progress, receiving honest and supportive feedback and encouragement. He also discussed the importance of bringing more creativity into the classroom setting by not forcing students to come up with answers in a standardized way and to let students think of alternative ways. In this article the concerns that many people feel about creativity being a larger focus were also addressed. It was expressed that embracing creativity may lead to a bad risk and has a lot of uncertainty, however; he countered this by bringing up how welcomed uncertainty may change a person’s routine into something more productive and they took a beautiful risk. Beautiful risks better everything around people and can even better societies as a whole. 

Scherer, M. (2002). Chances are you won't bother to read this article. It is just one long block of text, after all, unbroken by alluring pictures, snappy captions, or eye-grabbing infographics. You can't click it. You can't flip it. All you can do is read it. (Does Size Matter?). Columbia Journalism Review, 41(4), 32+. https://link.gale.com/apps/doc/A94600416/AONE?u=fl_sarhs&sid=AONE&xid=a06ec33c  In this article Scherer discusses the future of magazines and long-form articles and what changes will most likely happen to them. The changes will likely be in creating shorter articles and mostly just blurbs of the important information to fit peoples growing fast-paced style.  

He used a quick paced, casual writing style with lots of punctuation most likely to illustrate the future of magazines. He also dove into the argument of the people who don’t believe that magazines will change that drastically as time goes on. Scherer used lots of percentages and quotes from important figures in the magazine industry for this argument. He also touched on the fact that people’s mass opinion changes over time and the effect that competition of other media outlets have on this industry.
