Journalism

When I watched the news I always thought that the reporters did most of the research and script writing for themselves. It's almost misleading because the broadcast journalists, like Jesse, do all the script writing but it seems like they don't get the credit for it. The public watches the reporters and assumes that they use their own words and not someone elses. It doesn't seem fair that the reporters get the credit and the broadcast journalists do not.

It was also interesting that broadcast journalists write several different stories/scripts everyday by a deadline. Other journalists that write everyday are for the daily newspaper. Most other journalist write in a weekly newspaper or monthly magazine and have more time to make changes or do editing. It seem like a lot of pressure to do several stories in a day and may also take from the quality of the story. Where as journalists who write a story every week or several stories a month may have more quality, creativity, and thorough reseach or information. This may be why monthly magazines and the Sunday newspapers may be more appealing than the everyday news.
