September 20 - Work today

Today: It is Friday, so . . . . Current Events Quiz.

After you do that, you can pitch your story idea to me. You need to cover a story on your own. Examples: Blood Drive, face-painting at the game tonight, new teacher profile, bees are a problem at this time of year, what does the "K" mean to you, and on and on . . .

This is a really special multi-media piece. Click here to check this out. This is a wonderful site made by the NY Times that features extraordinary ordinary New Yorkers. You are going to conduct an interview similar to this in the near future. You will get 20 images. You will get audio of this person talking about their subject/life/whatever. We will not ever ever ever hear your voice. So put that on the back burner of your brain for now.

NO JOURNALIST WOULD EVER WANT TO HAVE PEOPLE SAY THEY DIDN'T REPORT THE TRUTH OR ACCURATELY. That is your currency.
