"embeded troops"

     I think that embedding troops is just a poor way to get news. You don't hear much about news reporters getting killed that often, but that is because they are not in the rougher parts of the war. Why don't they just interview a man who had been shoot. We should not waist resources on someone who is not even going to fight.

Journalism's problem

     Some people say that journalism is to detached from society and I am one of those people. You can find that 9 out of 10 articles you see you can live with out. Most city's  newspapers don't include many stories about what is going on in the world, but events that have nothing to do with the people in that city.

My Privacy

        I am very careful about my privacy on the Internet. I am sure not to post many things about what I am doing. It is important that what I do during the day isn't known by anyone, but my family and myself.

Opinion on Koran burning

     I have a different idea about the Koran burnings. I not only believe that it gives good Christians a bad name in Gainsvile, but it is an extremely rude thing to do to the good Islamic people in the U.S. Terry Jones is a man that is fulled with hate, not because of 9/11, but because he dislikes Museums like some people dislike Jews. This man should just be ignored and shouldn't be on T.V. so he can spread the hate. I think he wouldn't do it if he was not getting media.    

Hard News Story (The Burning of the Quar'ans)

     In Gainesville, Florida, on September 11th a group of radical Christians are planning on burning a large number of Korans. A Koran is Roughly the Islamic bible. It would be like if a grouop of Muslems started to burn bibles because American soldiers kill their family. The church also put up a group of sighns that said "Islam is of the Devil". They believe that most if not all people of Islam are focused on finding a way to kill Americans. The event is suposed to go on untill 9 o'clock P.M.

Thursday, September 9, 2010What is a hard news story?

 A hard news story is just a bit harder to get the information. The hard news would be like telling someone about the burning of the Korans: When they are going to do it, why they are going to do it and where they are going to burn the Korans. A soft news story would be interveiwing one of the racist book burners.
