Josh's Journalism Blog

In the movie we just finished "Shattered Glass" Stephen Glass is a writer for the "New Republic" magazine and is doing very well. When there is a editor change made within the building things start to not add up when an online magazine company tries to verify Stepehen's sources. They turn up to not exist and that the few things that they can confirm, in the end, also turn up to be fabricated by Stephen himself. This movie is a good light suspence puzzle movie. I enjoyed it very much and I would strongly recomend it to anyone who is going into the journalism field because in the movie it does show in great detail on how a piece is made and the process of which it should happen. This is a good movie and I want to watch it again.

Journalism Media studies is a great class to take. It has taught me a lot about the media and how things are changing at the same time as showing me on how it used to be when magazines and newspapers used to play a bigger role in our society. This class amongst the other classes I have taken with Mr. Krebs have been a lot of fun! He has made the gloom and doom of school and the day-to-day seem more bearable and I actually look forward to his class everyday. I hope that he will continue to bring the same enjoyment into his new students at Burnsville next year as he has in past years here at Eastview. I would take his class over and over again just to have the enjoyment of learning and a workable fun environment.
