Journalism

Taking this class has taught me a lot about journalism. I have learned the complication and the tasks at hand when writing every news story. Journalists not only have to interview sources and learn about the topic or new event, but they also have to write an interesting story about it. In each and every news story that is published, there is a tremendous amount of time and effort put into it; I now have a new appreciation for journalists. I am glad I took this class and I feel that my overall writing skills have taken great leaps this semester.

Journal Entry

Curtis Lee Adams, 23, is facing charges of burglary, cruelty to animals and other charges after he allegedly entered a barn south of Truman and stabbed 29 pigs. Authorities say Adams was drunk when he was found in the barn early April 27, and had blood on his knuckles and smelled of pigs and pig manure.
