The speaker this week was Brother Williams and he was giving a talk about about how he teaches journalism. He talked about different things about journalism and what topics they would do, like how they touch on controversial topics. He goes on and gives of an example about this Russian reporter who predicted her own death because she was a reporter that made the bad people look bad, she receive plenty of death threats. Brother Williams also talked about how CNN would tell us about what goes on in the world and also touch on scandal and the government. Other journalists touch upon human intrest stories. Brother Williams told us a story of a girl who was abused and never attended school and no one looked into it for awhile but when the police finally stepped in the girl did not even know how to read but in the end she was adopted by a loving family. The last thing Brother Williams talked about was a husband and wife that survived a plane crashed they were scared and burned all over. The wife was in a coma for a little while and when she woke up she never thought she would be keeping a daily blog of her life. The husband and wife have kids and everyday is a struggle for the wife. She is a different person now than she use to be. She explains in her blog how she longs for her old self. She is an inspiration to many people and she says she keeps the blog because it is what heavenly father wants her to do. In journalism you must be a good story teller and be persuasive in reporting.
