The Interview

 
   Frum maintains "her cool" and continues on with the interview while asking the questions she felt were important and stayed calm throughout the interview by asking what she wanted to hear and not taking offense to Sandra Good's comments about Frum's interviewing skills.
   The outcome of Frum being more aggressive or confrontational would lead the interview going nowhere, Good would have gotten more upset with her and no information would have been told, no answers that Frum was determined to get wouldn't have been received.
   One question that Frum asked that I felt was a very effective question was when she asks "Ms. Goods, how come your talking about trees that you care about yet you don't care about killing men?" this question through Good's off and it shows a small side of Frum's frustration with her.
   Things to remember when either preparing interview questions or doing an interview are to stay on the topic and remain calm and keep trying to get the answers you want. As a student journalist you can learn these same techniques from Frum that will get them through an interview that "went wrong".
   As a student journalist if I had to interview somebody I would choose George Jones a country music artist, he was the king of country music. I think this interview would not be tough because I have listened to his music my whole life and I know many things about him so I think I would know now the right questions to ask.

Caught in Lies

When reading articles or any pieces of writing there has always been times when I wondered if they had been factually incorrect or fabricated, when reading a piece of writing everyone should take into consideration whether it is believable or not. For example, the person who is reading the article could have their job on the line, the article could be suggesting whether next year or a few months down the road the job could be put on hold and that person would be thinking that they are going to loose there job, when in actuality it could be a false article.

I was surprised reading these articles and finding out they were fabricated news. For the article "Jimmy's World" I was especially surprised to find out that someone would go to the trouble of making up such a catastrophic lie just to get recognized more.

Yes I agree with Shafer's assertion, people who want that publicity would do anything to get there, so for the people that do not have the talent or the ability to get a good story they will go to a great extent to get that good story but soon the story's will fall out.

Given what Shafer said, I think that colleges and universities should take into consideration that each student should each have a great deal of ability towards articles and story's, each student should have the talent to write story's without having to lie or make up fabricated news.

A newspaper ombudsman is a great way to find out whether an article or story is factually incorrect or fabricated, it is also a great way to let readers know that there is someone out there that will insure of what you are reading is true or not.
