Christian Shaffer Interview

News organizations that report on stories in a fair, balanced and ethical manner are essential to the functionality of this nation. A citizen’s ability to make well-informed decisions hinges on a news organization’s ability to relay the most accurate information regarding the state of the nation, the changing condition of communities, and adjustments in the government. Journalism is no longer a one-sided conversation. Journalism is an interactive process that allows for readers and viewers to create a dialogue with journalists by utilizing mediums such as social networking sites and comment sections. Audiences have a say in what stories get reported and how news stories are presented to the masses. When news organizations fail to cover all

Bob Edwards’ Edward Murrow and the Birth of Broadcast Journalism is a short biography about the man that established and revolutionized broadcast journalism. Bob Edwards has ample experience in broadcast journalism as a radio news and talk show host for over 30 years (Biography.com). It is no surprise that Edwards takes a particular interest in writing about Edward Murrow since he certainly influenced Edwards’ career in radio news. While he conducted most of his research through secondary sources, he relied heavily on books by close co-workers of Murrow. With that said, Edward Murrow and the Birth of Broadcast Journalism is a great streamlined tale of Murrow’s journey from a logger, to an education advocate, to broadcast journalism.

Theodore Dawes is a writer and reporter from Alabama, he uses examples from the frustration of the people in view of the media, and but brings a better understanding to the process that reporter and editors have to go though in creating a story. He states that objectivity has no existence in news reporting, but journalists still provide the truth that it does exist. Reporters have only so much face time to provide a segment, how can they possibly provide multiple sides of a story and not expect to get all of the facts. Editors and reporter have to make difficult decisions including, the morality of the story and what facts they can possibly leave out. Even though it seems the media is only trying to persuade and pick sides in a story, this

So much of society seems to live his/her life on a sort of self-serving autopilot mode. Rarely does one stop to think how or why he/she is making certain decisions or how these decisions can affect his/her life in the future. Often times, it is not until one has a “string of bad luck” or something tragic happens in one’s life, when he/she will turn to Jesus for help “getting them through this problem” only to return to one’s self-centered ways once his/her life has returned to normal. Living life with a Christian worldview is not something that one can take off a shelf and use when needed and allow it to collect dust on that shelf the rest of the time. This paper will discuss the many parts that make

The purpose of this memo is to provide a professional biography of the person I interviewed for the expert interview portion of this project.

It will be a concise report, consisting of Dr. Harrar’s education, field experience, and publications. I will highlight items in the aforementioned areas that best reflect Dr. Harrar’s expertise.

In order to be productive all members of staff should be aware of the goals of the firm. Knowing the goals allows the manager to make effective decisions.

For my interview, I was fortunate enough to get ahold of a man who works for a major local news station known as RDI or Radio Canada. His name, Pascal Robidas, a thirty six year old television news reporter. I met him through my uncle who lives in the same triplex as him. Throughout our fascinating forty five minute long interview, I learnt so much more about his life and job than by reading a book on the subject.

Question No. 1: The urban governance official I interviewed is Mr. Joel Navarro, a third-generation Arizonan resident born and raised in Tempe and has lived in the Valley of the Sun most of his life. Navaro is a father of three children, Jillian, Parker, and Henley. He was first elected as a member of the Tempe City Council in Arizona in May 2008 and is today serving his second term after he was re-elected in March 2012. His current term will expire in 2016 ("Joel Navarro, Councilmember" Para 2-8).

I interviewed my wife, Jael Dimich. I choose her because she left a high paying job to go back to school to become a nurse. She wanted to become a nurse after traveling for three months in Argentina and realizing there are people that continue to be suppressed by their economic background and social opportunities. That experience inspired in her the desire to help people in her career.

I chose Bernie sanders as the candidate that I would vote for. A couple of issues that I care about that Sanders also stands for are healthcare for all and same-sex marriage. Sanders position on everyone being able to have healthcare is supportive. In an interview with Ezra Klein of Vox, Sanders responded with, “Health care, to my mind, is a right of all people. That's what I believe. I think every man, woman, and child is entitled to health care”(1). He believes that healthcare should not be something that we have to qualify and fight for but that it should be our right to have good healthcare. He made a point by saying that despite having the affordable care act, we still have so many people that are still uninsured and underinsured while our country is paying almost double what any other nation faces (2). Sanders is for healthcare for all because he believes it’s our right to it despite our income and not be discriminated against for reasons such as our gender or previous health issues. He believes we shouldn’t be discriminated against just because we might have had a health issue that the insurance companies consider a higher risk of needing help later, which would mean

In the late 1950s and into the 1960s responsibility played a large role in how news was distributed. Three television networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC, were among the outlets with formally trained news anchors who brought forth a sense of unity in the country. But, as the years progressed and people began to develop special interests, the ways news was relayed transformed (Turow, 1997, p. 40).

Imagine going to the past tp when one's parents were in school. Jeremiah would go to the past if he had a choice, of going to the past or future. Jeremiah is sixteen and is a junior for hempfield area high school. He is also in my period five English class and this is the first time he has been in the same english class. While interviewing Jeremiah, I discovered a lot of interesting things about his family life, school activities, and personality and hobbies.

Gregor Aleksandr is a very well-liked man according to many of the people I interview.

He got his master’s degree in Business Administration from University of Southern California. Also, he got his doctorate degree from the University of Arkansas. He is now teaching in the business department at Arkansas Tech University and is a very liked man. I interview several people about him and they had nothing, but nice things to say about him.

Nowadays journalists have the responsibility to report facts as accurately, objectively, and disinterestedly as is humanly possible. ‘’The, honest, self-disciplined, well-trained reporter seeks to be a propagandist for nothing but the truth’’ (Casey, 1944b).

The first, and most domestically prevalent, circumstance deals with Christianity and how it truly shapes the daily lives of its followers. Before college began, my family and I would attend church every Sunday at 9:30 am. This Sunday could be easily used for sleeping, watching football, working or traveling, but we saw it as the Lord’s day and attended mass. Christianity also shapes the behavior of its followers by integrating honorable priests, meaningful homilies and lessons from biblical scriptures and other ageless writings.
