Smoking Wheels
Imagine witnessing smoke come from near the wheels of a plane that is about to fly off.
This is exactly what a landing tower employee saw coming from the wheels of a Northwest Airlines jet flight 428 plane at LaCrosse, Wisconsin, following a flight from Minneapolis at the Municipal Airport today. All forty passengers were evacuated from the flight.
Missing Boy
After missing for three years many would have given up hope for the search of a seven year old boy. But Monday night after three years the boy has finally been found.
The boy was found in Brick Township, New Jersey. A neighbor recognized the boy’s picture when it was shown after the movie Adam: The Song Continues and immediately called the police. The police arrested the boy’s mother Ellen Lynn Conner, 27; as she faces charges and interference with a custody warrant.

Top News Story Week 2
Bin Laden urges Americans to Convert
This story really surprised me because personally I have not heard about Osama Bin Laden for some time now. It is also the first time in three years that he has appeared in video. Rumors were being said that he died of kidney failure in the end of last year or the beginning of this year. That is why the story surprised me that he was on television because I thought he had died. He addressed that the war would not stop unless if they won or Americans converted to Islam. Officials are still trying to figure out more information but the video seems to be recent because it has recent information in it.
The story I chose has impact because it has something to do with the whole United States not just a certain area so it will impact many people. It also has timeliness because it is a brand new story. Also the U.S. received the information before Al-Qaeda. The story is also current because as I said it just came out on Friday.

AP Style Exercise # 1
The new head of the Journalism Department, Dr. Deborah Dunwoody Ph.D., recently bought a house at 6 Riverside Dr. in San Mateo, a lovely city in the SAN FRANCISCO Bay Area.
“What kind of person would break in to my apartment and steal my brand- new thongs!” she cried.
The instructor asked her pupils to read chapter six in the text, and to pay close attention to the section on the Great Depression, which began in the late 1920s and continued through the '30’s.
Ms. Smith, has not let partial blindness or wheelchair confinement stop her from living life to the fullest. In spite of her handicaps, she volunteers at a local senior center, and enjoys going for strolls (she calls them “rolls”) with her friends.

Got what it takes to be a Reporter?
According to the self- assessment test Journalism is a good fit for me but I may require changing my attitude or improving some skills. I am not Journalism major so I am not worried. If I was to be a Journalism major however, the questions seemed to fit the job requirements. The quiz did help because I am a Public Relations major and there are some things about Journalism that intertwine with Public Relations.
