Quick comment: The most standout piece of information shown in this story is that kids WITHIN AUSTRALIA are accessing the Internet and various social networking sites from as young as FIVE YEARS OLD.
FIVE.
I’m pretty sure that’s repulsive.
At five I was running around the backyard with a hose and drowning toys in my sandpit. Ah well, water restrictions I guess.
Given that only 2/3rds of parents admit they supervise the children whilst they’re online, and that they tend to stop around the time their children turn 11 is kinda terri - fying.
Concepts from my course work that inform my perspective on this item: Being as we’ve only just begun, I can say that the interviewee, Christena Singh, author of the latest Sensis e-business report, uses her official role as the author and ‘learned person’ to influence the story; an example of ethos (personality and stance).

Quick comment: This story just made me chuckle, I had no idea this was a common occurrence within journalism, and I imagine from an industry point of view, it must be a real pain in the neckside to deal with. Good to see that individuals also within the industry that are often the subject of written pieces sympathise with journo’s i.e. Michael Clarke subbing the cameraman, and the cricket journo’s deliberately ruining the tv shot is just pure genius. If that’s Australian journalism then God bless the Journo’s.
Clarke on his way to make a grown cameraman cry.
