Today was a good day to really think about "Why should people watch my news station?" Having the assignment where we had to make up our own news station and what we would broadcast on. Were we mainstream news, alternative, or human interest? The assignment wasn't difficult until we were asked that question I stated earlier. Almost everyone wanted to have a station that was about entertainment. Why should people watch my groups station, this question was still left unanswered and I am hoping we can figure out reasons during next class. -Marissa Skinner

I thought the assignment was good for us to do. It was something that seemed pretty straight forward, but some of us got careless in our research. We were thinking more with a mind set of writing a paper and getting sources than getting sources for an event of news. My group ended up choosing news sources that contradicted each other. This allowed for us to understand why you cannot trust any source and why, when putting a paper together or a news cast, we must be careful not to allow any stories to contain information that could cause another story within the news feed to be illegitimate. -->Brady Iubelt
