Journalism

I think the guest speaker was interesting because I didn't know much about what went into putting together a news broadcast. There were a few points that I found surprising.

First, I never considered how important ethics are in the news. Personally, this would be hard for me to balance because I would want to tell the story, but remain fair and considerate of the people involved. Doing this on a daily basis would be a lot of pressure and responsibility.

I was also surprised that the reporters didn't write a majority of the stories. I always assumed that it was part of their job. I guess they are mostly responsible for being on the scene of the story to report the events.

I was also interested in how Jesse was able to enjoy his job, even when he deals with so many tragic events. I would also like to be informed of what is going on in the world, and locally, before everyone else.
