Heatwave Review

The movie "Heatwave" was based of during the Watts riots that occurred in 1965. During this time, the African-American community was being abused for being a different color other than white. However, a man named Bob Richardson was an African-American that was employed in the Los Angeles times as a messenger. What Bob taught me was that I have to be proactive to obtain what I want no matter if I am a minority. Furthermore, the movie also taught me to say the truth but the truth had to be my truth no else's. This to me is an important lesson because if you do not say the truth no one will believe you and your career as a journalist could possibly end. That is what happen to the man from 60 minutes who lied about being in a helicopter that was shot in Iran but that was all false.

Truth About Ebola!

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/ebola-latest-spanish-woman-cleared-of-disease-as-pentagon-preps-response-team/ In my opinion, this article is true because it talks about the Spanish nurse cleared of ebola. That to me is credible enough to be a true article. There are other stories about ebola too in this article.

This would interest students a lot because most students go for Barcelona. However, that means half of the school goes for Real Madrid. Therefore, the amazing save that Marcelo did against Villareal showed that Casillas should not be goalie anymore.

I read this article about Qatar not being able to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup for the scorching during the summer. I would write about this because it has to do with soccer, more importantly, the FIFA World Cup. By my own experience, I notices that everyone talks about that world cup. It does not matter if the person hates soccer, they will still read about the world cup because it is a worldwide trend when it happens

Link to the Formula E car

The way this lead attracted me was when I saw the word Formula E. When I saw those words it instantly made me think of Formula 1 and I was right. It's about the first electric race car to compete in the Formula 1. Its debut was on Saturday and the idea of this car is to promote more electric vehicle technology and to accelerate interest in people that are debating on buying one. http://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-29174098

Review of "All The President's Men"

Before watching the movie "All The President's Men," I thought that journalism was a job just to inform the reader about something irrelevant. I thought that reporters just went out the streets to find random stories and write about them. However, after watching the movie "All The President's Me," I understood that journalism is more than just writing about a random story. I learned by watching Bod Woodward's and Carl Bernstein' action that journalism is about being precise with your facts. I also learned that you have to introduce yourself in order to quote the person, always have multiple sources to have more facts and have accurate information. Also, have patience and persistence with the story that the editor gives you and always have your ears on the look out for news that isn't given to you. Lastly, you always have to carry you notebook, which will be with you twenty-four/ seven,  to write all the information the source gives you.
