Life of an Amateur Journalist pt.1

By Ryan

My next school project is a news story. My partner, Charlie, and I are interviewing teachers this week on the following:

What they think about where we are at right now with the bailout, the amount of borrowing and debt, the election and the media, and the “global cop” status of America

Then what they think the future holds. What kind of change is coming and is this younger generation too uneducated.

This is pretty intense for me right now. Charlie came up with this topic, because Lord knows I don’t know ass-diddly-doo about this subject. We are hoping for some crazy interviews, where people start yelling and slamming fists on the tables. Then slap the closest person in a fit of rage.

I’m in the middle of trying to convince a professor, that I had for a couple writing courses, to do an interview. One day he came to class very pissed off at the government and tossed desks at the students, and that is the passion we are looking for.

We start shooting and interviewing tomorrow. I wanna see some mud ‘n blood thrown.
