Yes this is a great piece of journalism.
Bryant Gumbel seems like a tool. He was very much so attached to work and his dead dad. Which isn't a bad thing but he didn't pay attention to his ALIVE mother.
I think that this story is very balance because it has everything his does with work and his personal, which isn't very much.
Most everything in this story to me was a signature because everything they wrote about was to show his not very bright character.
I don't think Bryant Gumbel liked this story very much because maybe he thinks that it didn't show his full personality or all sides of him. I think that his family thought it captured him perfectly! Because this is how they see him.
The purpose of this story is to show that there are many sides to a person and all must be explored.
Well this article made me feel better about myself an d how I act toward family members. But for others this could shine light on a problem they didn't know they had.
I believe that Reilly had an obligation to write the story like this because it shows who he actually is apposed to the Bryant Gumbel everyone sees on tv.

SPORTS!!!!!!!;;;;;;;;;;;;;))))))))))))):::::::::(((((((
Sport profiles are not as easy as they look. within a sports profile you must have some sort of conflict or your story won't be very intreging. Just writing a plan sports story isn't very interesting, you need to find a way to makes readers more interested you have to consider different angles. Each story has to have some sort of character or "team" is a sports story that takes place somewhere these details are very important and shouldn't be forgotten. Almost all stories have a tone or voice, voice would include quotes from others to make the story more real or an overall feel. Why would you write about this certain subject? Something has to be coming out of what you are writing such as how it affects the bigger picture. You also need to makes sure you don't leave anything out, details are important.

1. Narrative
LINCOLN, Del. A steel-haired woman, 89 years old and an inch short of five feet, sat on a pillow in the driver’s seat of her Buick LeSabre, just thinking. Parked outside a convenience store on one of the last days of winter, she was considering a pre-Easter treat for herself: an ice cream cone. Butter pecan. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/06/us/this-land-with-an-act-of-kindness-a-lady-vanishes.html?smid=tw-share&pagewanted=all&_r=1
2. Contrast, Then and Now
Last summer, in the dead of night, three peace activists penetrated the exterior of Y-12 in Tennessee, supposedly one of the most secure nuclear-weapons facilities in the United States. A drifter, an 82-year-old nun and a house painter. They face trial next week on charges that fall under the sabotage section of the U.S. criminal code. And if they had been terrorists armed with explosives, intent on mass destruction? That nightmare scenario underlies the government’s response to the intrusion. This is the story of two competing worldviews, of conscience vs. court, of fantasy vs. reality, of history vs. the future.http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/wp-style/2013/09/13/the-prophets-of-oak-ridge/

future exploration day
I liked these stories but I liked one of them more than the other because it was more interesting to read and I wanted to read more. These were good feature stories its just that was called " Dies the victim, dies the city" had a lot of information and many details so it got very boring towards the end while the other was very interesting through out. I enjoyed It's An Honor better, Because it was very well written and it was very interesting and I could tie it to my life.
current event quiz warm up
1. The results of the Iowa debate was that Ted Cruz won and Donald trump. These outcomes were caused by carful wording, they all basically tied so it came down to there basic fundamentals. The next thing the candidates do it to take a trip to new hampsire. I think that the outcomes will be much lie the ones that just accord. So in other words very close.
