"I'm a Man"

Frum maintained her cool and continued with the interview while asking the questions she felt were important by not showing her agitation and not caring what the woman was saying when she was giving stupid answers.

I think that if Frum had been more aggressive or confrontational the interview would have ended quicker and Sandra Good would of got angry and might of said somethings that would of been very inappropriate to say on the radio.

I feel that the one question that Frum asked that was very effective was "When did you see Lynettte Fromme last?" I feel that this one is the most effective because it had a rise in Sandra Good and it made the interview take different turns and made the interview more interesting.

Something that Terry Seguin discussed last Friday that would be good to remember when either preparing interview questions or doing an interview is don't let the person being interviewed avoid the question your trying to ask. If they don't answer it then ask it again but word it differently.

As a student journalist I can learn from Frum, that when an interview goes wrong to keep my cool and keep asking the question that I want answered.

As a student journalist, if I had the opportunity to interview anyone, it would be the Queen of England. I would want to interview the Queen of England because she would be a very interesting person to interview. I don't think it would be a tough interview because I doubt she would be a troublemaker and make the interview hard.

Caught in Lies

1) I have never considered whether or not the news I was either watching or reading to be factually incorrect or even fabricated because I don't read or watch the news often and much of the news I either read or watch has no interest for me.

2) My reaction to the two article was that I thought it was very stupid for them to make up an article. I'm not surprised that professional journalists make up stories because anyone will do anything to keep their jobs.


3) I disagree with this statement because some people might just have a boring story and they want to make it more interesting by adding fake information. They might of also done this to keep their jobs.

4) I think that colleges and universities should make the journalism graduates realize how hard the journalism world is and help to be able to handle the pressure of the job. I think that they should help them gain the responsibility to handle being a journalism.

5) I think that when ethics arise that a newspaper's ombudsman does help because the ombudsman responds to the readers complaints and has his say about what the complaints are.
