To sum it up...
All I ever hear in my classes at the U is that the future of journalism is gloomy. My teachers say that it's a profession so competitive that to even play, I can't just be a decent writer. I have to be able to write, plus take pictures, edit video, create sound bytes, be outstanding at all of those things and generate exceptional multimedia stories, while on deadline.
Um. So as professional journalists tell me these things, it's extremely motivating to see that other professional journalists are really going out of their way to find deep, meaningful stories and ethically present information to the public that we might otherwise never know about.
I can't wait to report real, hard news stories like these blokes. It really makes me excited for the future.
Sheesh.

The inconceivable
Would our generation, as their American counterparts, would be quite as brave and determined if we saw such corruption in our own country? How far would we go to change our world? How much would we sacrifice to attain a better life? What would we risk simply to gain the freedom we take for granted everyday in this country?
They are risking it all.

BooYAH
In light of the recent Superbowl, is it possible that a 15-yard penalty for excessive post-touchdown celebrations may be a slight overreaction to what is simply "unscripted, improvised entertainment running counter to the elaborately staged, exuberant and frequently over-the-top entertainment spectacle that is NFL football?"
Yes, I think so. Just let the men be happy.
Thomas P. Oates and John Pauly think so, too, and they are real life journalism teachers.

My dad sent this to my siblings and me. Absolutely worth watching.
