Tiger Woods response

Fan: I appreciate his abililty at golf but I just think that he came and said what really happened too late. I think that he will never make it to the top of the game ever again even though he was probably the best golfer ever to live.

Reporter: I think that his speech was scripted by someone else and presented for him to read aloud. It seemed sort of sketchy and made you wonder if half of what he said was true.

Simply Will

It was 30 seconds on the premiere program.. but it showed up on here as 29 seconds and I don't know why..

Response- Newspapers on the Downturn

I think it is horrible that newspapers are going in the wrong direction. Newspapers have given people the freedom to read and think what they want about articles and not just hear it coming from one point of view over the internet. I think that if all of the major newspaper sites come together and charge viewers of the website then they could start to earn the money the once did years ago. Even though the newspapers are still making a pretty fair profit, I can see the panic because if the trend continues, then in the next 10 to 15 years the newspaper might be extinct. So I think that they need to act now, to save their inustry in the long run.

CNN news response

Snow storm in the northeast atlantic

This coming weekend, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. along with a lot of a lot of the Northeast will experience a massive snow storm. The storm might be ruled the storm of the decade and might bring near blizzard conditions to much of the coast. This is going to be bad for travel and road conditions because there might be a lot of accidents and injuries with the storm. So people will have to watch out what for road conditions and prepare for the worst possible outcome. I also think that a lot of the time people make storms such as these a big deal and the real outcome is much less than what they had previously played it to be.

Define Broadcast Journalism

I think that Broadcast Journalism is the process of presenting a message (news) through the media to the world. It can give the message through newspapers, internet news, TV broadcasts, magazines, radio's, and other different ways to transmit a message.

USA Today Article

Planes with maintenance problems have flown anyway

I believe that when planes fly when having maintenance issues is obsurd and it's a matter of time before something bad actually happens such as a crash. If a plane needs to be fixed, then by no means should it be put into line for flying on that day. I hope it doesn't come down to having an actual accident caused by this in order for the FAA to change their ways.
