  1. What is the story? This story is about these bacterium that uses arsenic to live and as there building blocks

  3. What is the introduction? The introduction is telling you what is going on which is saying about the life-form.
  4. Most likely "sources" are used in the report and they are making comments or being quoted. Name two of them. Many researches that actually were on the show, from NASA
  5. Based on what these two sources say, what questions do you think they were asked? Create two questions for each source that you feel they were probably asked. What are some of the things needed for life? Where are these life-forms found?

Soft news Vs Hard news Who Will Be Victorious!?!?

For soft news I have chosen a sports highlight on the Edmonton Oilers defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs to complete a sweep of the eastern teams. This is diffidently a human-interest part of soft news because it is part of sports. Look here for the highlights.
For a hard news story I chosen a breaking news story on Kathy Dunderdale being sworn in as 10th premier of Newfoundland. This is hard news due to the fact of it being about politics and an important part of politics at that. Front page of CBC news.
Second soft news article would be of LeBron James of the Miami Heat basketball team takes down the Cleavland Cavaliers, LeBron scored 38 points for a win of 118-90. This is soft news for the fact that it is a sports coverage.Here

FROMME!!!! >:(

I was utterly surprised at the way that Frum maintained her composure even though Mrs Lynette Fromme was being very, very irritating and uncooperative. If Frume had been more aggressive Fromme would have hung up the phone and it would have been impossible for her to get any information at all, the one question she asked that I had found extremely relevant was when she had asked about the mental state of her roommate before some of the happenings. One thing I had learned when listening to this interview was even though your interviewee may not cooperate you have to keep your wits and try your best to get as much and any information you can. As a young sports fan I would love to interview either Jackie Robinson or Muhammad Ali. I would want to interview Mr. Robinson because he was the first African-American to every play in the American League and was one amazing player at that. I would like to interview Ali because he was the worlds greatest boxer and was forced to give up his hard earned title because his belief forced him to deny his draft. I doubt that either would be a difficult interview except that one has died and one has Parkinsons.
