1. According to the Austin Police department, the shooting last month is now a finished case. Most of these cases spend a very long time before they go through the system but this one went through in less then a month. The three options would be to schedule a disciplinary hearing, request for further investigation or see if he has had any other policy violations. To make this go public they have to be suspended for 1 day at least.
2. They are all rushing to become US citizens so that they can vote against trump in the election. The larger trend is latino immigrants becoming citizens in order to vote against trump. Obama has made it easier by making the fee to come into america payable by credit card.I think that donald trump would be very mad. " Those people can't make a difference".
3.They are struggling because they don't have enough money because of the decrease in oil prices. Commission leaders tell conservatives that the federal government will be forced to take over.
4. Lady nancy Reagan died so this is why obama ordered all flags to be raised half-staffed. Michelle Obama will be at the funeral on friday. Reagan meant a lot to her husband so therefore the current first lady must attend the funeral. Nancy will be remembered for her work ethic and for working at the Reagan Presidential Library for the past 15 years.
5. The jury finding was the stalker was filming her nude. Andrews parents felt terror and fear. The stalker was found guilty and the companies that own the hotel, the stalker will pay 51% and the two companies will pay the remaining 49%. I do think that this was distributed evenly.
6. The supreme court announced that you now can and have to let same sex marriage with an adopted kid if the cross state lines. This is called the "faith and good credit". The Alabama action was that a women was denied to see her kid that she adopted. Some points that the judges didn't put into consideration because they had already made up their minds were the arguments of the case.

Rolling Stones Part 2
1. The rolling stone journalist didn't fake check very well and some things weren't attributed correctly.
2.When writing a story journalist should always fact check to make sure your story is the best it can be.
3.When writing a story you defiantly should fake check as you are writing the story along with checking it after you write it more then 1 time. Whether it be something someone said or something you said.
4. I think that this story was more about the editors and journalist wanting it to be right more then them actually checking it and changing it to make it possible a less sting piece.

Rolling stones
I thought that this article was very good. I think that this was the best story we have read out loud all year. This story did a great job of raising awareness of sexual assault on college campuses. Throughout the whole story you hear of a few personal experiences of sexual assault that went un reported or didn't go farther then being brought up. I am sure this made many people mad and that they wanted to do something about it. This story is very well reported because it is very detailed and has a lot of good quotes. This was very interesting and I enjoyed reading it.

BAD PEOPLE
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.
