Journalist in Peril

    Many journalist have been hurt because of what they do. Many people don't realize how dangerous being a journalist can be, but many journalist get killed every year because they release information that no one would ever dare let the world know about because they are afraid of what will happen after they put the information out there. A great example of someone who died due to being a journalist was Daniel Pearl. Daniel Pearl was kidnapped after writing about the "war on terrorism" and later beheaded by his kidnapers. Daniel Pearl's story impacted me in the way that this could happen to anyone, his case also taught me that being a journalist is not a very easy thing to be and that one story gone wrong can lead you to your death.
    Another great example of journalist dying because they were journalist is Lasantha Wickrematunge, a journalist from Sri Lanka. He had been harassed and threatened before his death. Wickrematunge knew that his enemies where after him and unlike Daniel Pearl he knew he was going to die. He let the people of Sri Lanka know exactly how corrupt the government was. To me he was a very brave person because he died standing up for what he thought was right.    
    To read and learn about more brave journalist who have died for what they believe in you can go to CPJ.org.

What I Learned in Journalism

          In Journalism I've learned about Ethics, Leads, and inverted pyramid stories. For ethics we watched the movie "Shattered Glass." It was about a guy who worked for the New Republic. He would make up a story for each of his stories and once everyone found out he got fired. For leads we looked at the New York Times and decided what kind of lead it was out of the 7. For pyramid stories we wrote a story with the facts that Mrs.Turner gave us and we had to put the facts in order frommost important to least important.

U-KISS member Eli asks President Obama to download ‘DORADORA’

http://www.allkpop.com/2012/04/u-kiss-eli-asks-president-obama-to-download-doradora

Well Eli is my favorite U-Kiss member, actually he's my favorite k-pop idol. I think him asking president Obama to download their new mini album 'DoraDora' is something really funny and it sounds kinda like something i would do if i had a new album coming out. So I think it's something really funny because not a lot of artist would do something like tweeting to the president telling him to download their new album/song.
