In 2011 Johann Hari was suspended from The Independent after charges of plagiarism. His plagiarism was mainly through the acts of unattributed quotations in the interviews, by using previously posted quotes in place of the person he interviewed answers. In 2008 he won the Orwell Prize for a piece that he had written previously. This story was later fact checked with his other stories, THE GUARDIAN, THE TELEGRAPH, AND THE WASHINGTON POST. This prize was later taken away from Johann Hari. Though he stood by the article that won the prize he would end up giving it back because he felt bad. Well Johann only made up some quotes where Glass made up everything.
Well this film changed my perspective on journalism in the way that I never thought your fact checking could come from notes and that someone would go that far to get a good story.

1. This could have offered a clue to why he's a bad journalist because he most likely made this up. You could easily make up an interview and pretend you are a psychologist. When fake checking sometimes you have to look at your notes because the facts aren't anywhere else. He could have made these notes up so that his story could be fact checked right.
2. This could be a clue that he is a bad journalist because your editor should always stand up to you and that he can get away with everything. They should always have your back knowing whats going to happen next. Knowing that you will have someone on your side will make it that much easier to make up a story.
3. Knowing that glass will do anything to make his parents or anyone happy means that he would even lie. Clearly peoples happiness is very important to him and his parents could have been the start to a lying streak. All he does is lie and it seems to make others happy. I am sure his parents are proud and maybe thats why he continued.
4. When he offers to resign about a minor detail maybe he is starting to think that they are getting on to him. And that he should quit before they find another things he's lied about. This could have been his first attempt to cover his tracks. Glass might be thinking about how much he's messed up.
5. Glass is trying to be the tough guy. When he is yelling at the intern that oohing slides he is trying to show that he thinks it wrong. If people think hat he believes its the wrong thing to do then they will think that he would never do something like that. This would therefore gives him some trusty friends.

JAKE
This demonstrates a good sports story because it has a lot of small details that make the story more interesting. When reading a story the small details count, it could change the view of the whole story. This story also has conflict which is essential for a sports piece. Many times sports stories all sound the same but if you add in a conflict it can change the whole story to make it more intersting for the sports fans, and everyone else. Along the lines of making the story more interesting you have to use a different angle then others. This story did a great job of doing this. Jake has been out of the game for a while and this interview/story really captured him perfectly. And of course this story had a main character so it did a great job at that. A voice is also needed and I felt in this story it was the interviewer.
Feature
"Everyday is different" Wendi Caudill says after a long day at work. It all starts with the buzzing sound of the 6 o'clock alarm she has set on her phone. The dogs going nuts just to get fed. 1 cup Marvin ;the brown black mutt, 1 cup for Hershey; the chocolate lab. The life of an AISD nutritionist is no easy task. Looking the part is a huge portion of the job. A few minutes. That's all it takes to transform from single mom to a nutritionist of AISD. Somewhere around 7 she's gone. A coffee in her hand followed by a new application of her favorite lipgloss, marks the start to a new day.
She goes into the office, saying a peppy" good morning" to everyone next to her cube. She never forgets to say hello to her boss. Well she is the one that signs her paychecks. "The mornings are the worst" Wendi says. School after school call in to complain about staff absents, or how the kitchen doesn't have any power and they need assistance. "I am a problem solver" I don't know what my schools would do without me. Paper work after paper work, it's now lunch time.
Rush hour. Students start to pile in, this is when she knows it's time for a new application of lipgloss. School after school she makes sure they are all serving students and getting everyone what they need. A call come in from another school, it's the principle, asking her if she could help with a parent problem. Of course she goes and helps. I mean she is a problem solver. Every parent has something different to complain about, whether it be the food on the line or how we aren't green enough. After the evening is done its time to go back and repeat the morning.
The same problems and or issues seem to pop up again and create more chaos. The same parents the same principles and the same co-workers. "coming home is the best part of my day" wendi says but sometimes she comes home to more chaos with 3 teenage children, who have also all been had at work. Or school. The next hour consist of folding clothes and putting something together for dinner. Soon she goes to bed and her kids follow and the cycle repeats again the next day.

The Mourning Anchor
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/
