Remember to Always Keep your Cool

Frum maintains "her cool" and continues with the interview while asking the questions she felt were important by saying Sandra's name repetedly until the woman who was being interviewed answered her. Also, she kept asking the same question until she received an answer.
I think the outcome would have been terrible if she had been more agressive or confrontational, because Frum was already being very nice and calm while asking the questions and kept her tone when she didnt receive her answer, and Sandra was getting very defensive, so if she had of became agressive, than Sandra would have gotten even more upset, and would have hung up a lot sooner than she did.
One question that Frum asks that i feel is an effective question is, "what was her condition when you last saw her, when did you last see her," because immediately after Frum asked the question, Good changed the subject to how people are hurting the environment. Also, Frum asked the question over and over and each time, Good became even more and more defensive and continued to change the subject.
As a student journalist, what I can learn from Frum's technique in case I ever have a interview that "went wrong," is to remain cool and do not become angry or frustrated if I am put down or called "a very bad reporter." Also, keep asking the questions that I feel are of importance until I get the answer.
If I had a chance to interview one person, it would be Taylor Swift, because she imspires me with her music and how she is not much older than me and has chased her dream of becoming a singer, and has succeeded greatly. I do not think it would be a tough interview, because she is so use to being interviewed and being asked questions on the spot. Also, that is all part of her career; being interviewed, and entertaining people.

Cheaters Never Win and Winners Never Cheat

I have never considered that the news i hear, watch or read may be fictitious, because if it is in the newspaper, than you automatically think that because it has already gone through editing, it must be true. Also, you would not think that someone would make up certain lies that could eventually harm their job or hurt anyone else for that matter.
I was shocked and baffled when i read these two articles, because they are not only hurting a certain person, they are hurting themselves. I was surprised to find out that professional journalists have fabricated news, because you would assume that in order for them to have been hired to be a journalist, they must have had some sort of training in not lying and publishing news that is worthy and reliable.
I do not agree with Jack Shafer's assertion that, “most liars make things up for the simple reason that they don't have the talent or the ability to get the story any other way,” because if their employer felt that they did not have the talent or ability to be a journalist, than they would not have hired them. Also, sometimes people are pressed for time and have to make up a story in the nick of time to get it done, and not get in trouble with their boss. I do not think that it is always right to lie, but sometimes there may be a reason as to why they had to.
I do not think that colleges and universities should be doing a better job of graduating journalism students who can handle the responsibility, because the students could be doing an excellent job in handling responsibility in university, but when they get into the real world, they become worried and nervous that they will not succeed.
I think that when issues of ethics arise that a newspaper ombudsman helps, because maybe they could prevent fictitious news from being published into the community, which would also keep people from being publicly humiliated.
