Monday April 23, 2007 (Blog #13)

So this blog is a piggy back off of what was mentioned and discussed in class today. oh and btw, the man's name that we were talking about is JAYSON BLAIR: the man from the new york times who lied and fabricated all of his stories and his background. ahhh! i hate how only now i remembered his name!

So my thought is...why the hell would one want to do that and go through all the trouble of getting caught and crossing EXTREME ethical boundaries. journalism can get dirty and why he wanted to go into the field of journalism in the first place, i have no idea. that is actually a scary thought though if you think about it...you never know if there may be a false article out there in the history of journalism that no one has caught (yet). we need good, descent and dedicated journalists to keep our public informed about the news, both nation and world wide.
