Journal Entry - Journalism Lies

When watching the news or reading it in the newspaper, I have considered that it may be false information. My reaction to these types of articles is that they are pointless and can get people really worked up and bothered, such as the story “Jimmy’s World.” I was extremely surprised that professional journalists would go to great lengths as to make a story involving an eight year old boy being addicted to heroine.

In response to Jack Shafer saying “most liars make things up for the simple reason that they don’t have the talent or the ability to get the story and other way”, I feel that colleges and universities should be doing a way better job of graduating journalism students. They could do so by researching the story.

Cover Letter for Yearbook

Mr. Carter

Dear Mr. Carter,

I am writing this letter to tell you what section of the yearbook I would like to work in and why I believe that I should be granted the part.

I believe that I should be given a part as the business manager because I have experience in selling things to the public. I know that I would be an excellent candidate to consider for this position because I am always committed to everything that I do, and I would make sure that the yearbook doesn’t break our budget.

I have very good organizational skills and would be able to continue working on the yearbook next semester. However, I would not be able to stay after school, as much as I would love to, because I have a son who needs to be taken care of.

I would like to thank you for taking the time to read my letter. It would be greatly appreciated if I were to receive this position. I vow to be 100% committed to this position and work whenever it’s needed.

Respectfully yours,
Hailey S
