I am returning to my homeland in Colorado Springs and will embark on a new adventure.<br />I just wanted to say adios to those in my class.<br />Mrs. K, I have really enjoyed your lessons. You are one of the greatest teachers I have ever had. Good luck with your little one.<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Kady</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1494233060336692130-429928233701487603?l=kadolance.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kadyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01634881550274917821noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1494233060336692130.post-5724526547179385312007-04-16T12:35:00.000-07:002007-04-16T12:57:06.173-07:00I'm not exactly certain how relevant this book is on my journey towards becoming a journalist, unless I take a turn and decide to be a White House <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">correspondent</span>, but non-the-less I find it fascinating.<br />The forward has the most in common with what has been discussed in class stating, "Journalists, as <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">purveyors</span> of information, are the watchdogs of democracy. Without an informed people, their can be no democracy. It is the job of the reporters and editors to ask the tough questions of those in power and to act on the answers with trust, integrity, and honesty guiding their judgments." I love this <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">statement</span> and will strive to live by it.<br />I don't really care for the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">excessive</span> examples of all the journalists who have fucked up over the years or all the scandals that have <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">occurred</span> throughout presidential history, but I really loved reading about the excitement of being a journalist before <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Internet</span> ruled the world.<br />This book also opened my eyes to the lack of integrity and valiance journalists possess these days.
