Linda Ward is a great example of someone who has the ability to balance a family and a career within the media industry. Starting at a position that was mainly behind the scenes, Linda took the action of applying for a reporter job in Charlotte Town.
After many told her she wouldn’t get the position, Linda did. Moving her entire family to pursue her passion of reporting. Linda spent just over a year in Charlotte Town when she decided to move back to Toronto. Fast forward to 2017, Linda Ward is now a Reporter and producer for the CBC. Something many told her would never happen. One piece of advice I took from Linda Ward was to never stop trying, “If you have a passion for it and it’s something you really want. It will happen.”
Mobile Journalism
Mobile journalism is now an emerging trend and strategy used throughout the CBC. VJ, MMJ, MOJO, SELF-OP which ever term you know it by they all mean the same thing; a single journalist filming, editing, and performing on their very own news story. Many journalists are now creating news footage and rants strictly by using self-shot footage and minimal equipment.
How It’s Done
For Linda Ward, a Self-Op reporter, she often uses her cellphone for her news reports. For a basic setup she starts by having a Tripod where her phone is

For Ward, she enters the office at an odd time where a camera crew isn’t available. By utilizing her cellphone, she is able to capture a scene that would have been a missed opportunity. An example of this would be the girl stuck on the crane this summer. Ward was the first to the scene where the girl was being rescued by the firefighter. A camera crew wasn’t live on set yet, so Linda pulled out her phone and was able to report while the viewers at home had a shot of the scene. Ward admits it wasn’t the best quality work; however, in this age speed and accuracy trumps

Born Gwendoline Nessie Foster on 8 June 1920 into a self-sufficient family that was full of music, philosophy, religion and language, Gwen had many early influences in her childhood that were clearly going to have an effect on her later life. Gwen's family had strong connections with music and it became a very important part of her life, causing her to aspire to become a musician. Gwen's grandmother introduced her to poetry and she began to write her own in the 1950's. Soon after, she learnt the German language to establish a wider reading of poetry and involve the language in her own works. Gwen married a linguist named William Harwood in 1945 and then moved around the Southern parts of Tasmania where she lived until her death in December
impossible. Although Linda Brent was not able to get her children away from Dr. Flint and his mistreatment, she did not abandon her family to save herself. Instead, she decided to hide in her grandmother, Aunt Martha’s, attic. Several times during Linda’s life she was faced with the choice of fulfilling her desires of being a free woman or putting her family first. She believed that once Dr. Flint noticed that she had escaped to the North, he would be fearful of her children escaping and would sell them. When Mr. Flint sold Benny and Ellen to someone working for Mr. Sands she was told by Mr. Sands, also the father of her children, that he would free their children soon to live with Aunt Martha.

In the article UBC faces new rights complaint over handling of sex-assault report by the Globe and Mail, it is explained that in January 2013, Stephanie Hale was sexually assaulted by a fellow student at the University of British Columbia. When filing a complaint to B.C.’s Human Rights Tribunal against the alleged attacker, they took little action in resolving the case, which in turn took Hale’s health and education for the worst. Hale believes there to be a better method in responding to reports like these and has continued to try persuade to the university to change its policies through the aid of lawyers and having trials, but to no avail. However, many are filing complaints to universities and are attempting to change their policies.
In the article “Should Judith Clark Be Paroled?” (The Huffington post January 16, 2017), by Leon Friedman argues Judith Clark who was a contributor in the 1981 robbery in Nanuet N.Y. as a driver which resulted with two police officers along with a bank guard shot and killed.

Wilma Rudolph is the person I am creating a memorial for. Here is a little background about Wilma; she was born in Tennessee in 1940, but because she was born prematurely and was stricken with polio she had some disabilities with her legs. She overcame those disabilities with physical therapy and her extreme determination. She became the first American women to win 3 gold medals in a single Olympic. She is one of the pioneers to women’s Track and Field. She was just 16 when she first made it to the Olympics in Melbourne, Australia. In her second Olympics she set 3 records: the 100-meter dash, the 200-meter dash, and the 4-by-100-meter relay. Wilma was considered the world’s fastest women in the 60’s. She won the Associated Press Women Athlete

I concur with your conclusion that Linda Riley is both unstructured and determined. One would describe Riley as unorganized because of her blatant inability to form a plan that she can continue for the remainder of college. At first, Riley could not create a plan that allowed her to party and still complete all of her assignments in a timely fashion. Then, she attempts to create a plan, but this did not continue for long because there was too much time for certain subjects and not enough for others. On the other hand, one could also describe Riley as determined because she continuously seeks ways to study until she finds a method that works for her, and she eventually does. Although Riley’s essay shows many different aspects of her personality,
Linda Howard in Nieto and Bode’s (2012) case study had a very strong sense of her identity and strong feelings about how others should and do perceive her identity. While Linda spoke positively about her bi-racial heritage, she also seemed to feel the need to convince people of that fact (Niteo & Bode, 2012, pp. 86-87). As a result, Linda would benefit from activities and interactions that will help her find confidence and affirm her identity. Linda should be shown positive ways to inform others of her mixed heritage so that she does not always have to defend it. Further, it would be beneficial to help Linda find other mixed race, positive role models and for her study these individuals to see how they deal with their mixed heritage. They can demonstrate to Linda how much of an issue they choose to make their race or heritage out to be and how much they allow it to form their identity. Finally, it would be very helpful to find such a mentor within the community, especially someone academically successful, in order that she can relate to the person and see possibilities for herself.
The story my group tried to portray was: Catherine Simcoe dies and her family is terribly sad and wants her back. So the mother goes to a witch to get the witch to bring her back to life. The witch does it but betrays them and turns Catherine into an evil fungus that lives in all the trees. Catherine needs to eat children to survive so she tells her parents she’s lonely and she wants friends. So the parents decide to sell their property to the school board so that they will build a school there so Catherine will have lots of friends. With the condition though that they can’t cut down any of the trees. Then a few years later there is a school opened on the property and students start going missing because Catherine is eating them. Then finally
