prartivcle farticle retrarticle ptbhthhhththhhhhh
The Rolling Stone article failed in the sense that the journalist took everything her singular (?) source said for truth, and little embellishments and exaggerations went unnoticed due to the time constraints and the journalist being so shocked by Jackie's story. They didn't seek out the three friends that Jackie described coming back to after the rape and published a story featuring them in an unflattering light without getting their side. Basically, the moral of the story is that for all stories journalists should stick to a certain code, use many sources for each story, and make sure that it doesn't get to be published without rigorous investigation.

WELL OK WHAT EVERY BODY I COULDNT WRITE 500 WORDS OFF A MINUTE ONG INTERVIEW SO GET OF MY BACK MAYBE
Lilli Niester began high school with a goal. Many goals, in fact, she is ending her senior year with an impressive array of accomplishments. She started out doing Orchestra and Blue Brigade in her freshman year, continued with both for another three years, and is ending this one with 3 awards in the former. She's a part of the National Honor's Society, the Spanish Honor Society, and is the current leader of Model U.N. and Philosophy club. She has tutored for two years, made Honor Roll for three, honestly it would be easier to say what she hasn't done. When we asked her what she's most proud of, she said that she honestly couldn't decide.
McCallum will be missed. Austin's inherent strangeness has left a mark on the school, and Lilli by extension. She knew that it wasn't the typical high school experience, but maybe that wasn't such a bad thing. As she and her friends face their futures, it's hard not to reminisce.
She is not sure of where to go to for college, but when she does, she said that she would probably major in Neuroscience, and possibly take a double in Psychology.

ONLY NINEDDDY S KIDS REMMBER WHY SPIDERS INHABIT BY PEVLIS
1. The police internal investigation of the shooting of an unarmed black teen last month has concluded. The timing of the announcement is significant due to the deadline being just days after. Officials could schedule a disciplinary hearing for him as soon as this week, request additional information, or exonerate him completely. The records will be released only if he is suspended for more than one day.
2. They want to be U.S. citizens so they can vote against Donald Trump. This illustrates how naturalization usually occurs most often in election years, but Donald Trump's harsh anti-Mexican policies have encouraged many to be eligible to vote against him. President Obama made it easier to do this by launching a campaign that allows people to be eligible if they pay a fee. Trump probably would've said something racist in response to this.
3. A drop of drilling fees has crippled the TRC's funds, of which are 75% drilling fees. If they fall, the federal government will take over, which is something conservatives wish to avoid.
4. Nancy Reagan died. Michelle Obama is going to be at her funeral. Michelle Obama is going to because she knew her personally and as a first lady, she feels a connection. Her legacy is the Reagan library, which she spent the last 15 years guiding.
5. Erin Andrews got 55 million for her lawyer finding that a nude video taken of her and uploaded to the internet was also the hotel she was staying at's fault. The parents expressed fear at the fact that a stalker could still be watching her at the testimony. The stalker as well as the two companies that owned the hotel were found responsible and shared the 55 Million sum. The guilty parties responded by saying that they should not take responsibility due to the stalker being so determined. This is fair.
6. Gay couples have adoption rights no matter if they move across state line. Alabama denied a mother's right to visit her 3 children who she raised with her former partner. It was Unanimous. The justices did not bother to hear the arguments.

stroyisisi an rapus
The story is very well written; it has to be when the subject matter is so serious. The problem of college rape and serial rapists is very well addressed, and the fact that the organization designed to help actually benefits from not helping is very telling to the current state of affairs involving colleges and sexual assault. The story is well reported, and I like it a lot.

STEVENE POTERY IS BAAAAD
Option One:(what I am doing)
Stephen Glass was a very manipulative journalist both in his work and to his colleagues. He dramatizes events and makes up stuff that didn't even happen in order to draw attention to the New Republic during the events of the story. After a minor detail was misreported in his story, he immediately offers to resign, emotionally manipulating his current editor. Glass also exhibits hypocrisy, as he tears into an intern for poor reporting when he himself barely reports actual events.

PSIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Ruth Shalit
Ruth Shalit was a writer for the New Republic, just like Stephen Glass. However, Ruth was dismissed for only one, mega-article, one with major errors involving quotes on the Washington Post staff and making up a criminal record for a contractor. She was dismissed from the New Republic for this.
