Blog Assignment #2


After listening to all of the presentations during class I found out lots of interesting information on journalists. I thought sway Callaway had the most interesting career. He gets to interviews lots of famous people and learns about them and their lives. It was inspiring that he was part of the “Choose or Lose” campaign, which encouraged younger people to vote. He knew from a young age that he wanted to be a journalist because he started doing talk show hosting and rapping at a young age, which I think is inspiring.
If I could match any of the journalist’s careers I would choose Adam Richman. I would love to try all the different foods and rate them like he does. I think I would also enjoy traveling around the country trying to find exotic food.
           I would defiantly avoid having a career like Janet Cooke. She wrote a great article that won her the award yet it was totally made up. Because of this she ruined her journalist career and is currently unemployed. I would not want to ruin everything I had worked so hard for by writing one fake article.

  1. Adam Richman also tries very gross food. He has gotten very sick due to some of the foods he has try. I must say he has a iron stomach. lol. If you cannot handle spice, his career would be hard to follow. He has tried Ghost Peppers, which are the hottest peppers in the world.

  2. Your opinion about Janet Cooke, I agree with all the way. False news can be very annoying.

  3. Courtney, I think everyone agrees with you when you say you'd avoid a career like Janet Cooke's. On another note, I wouldn't mind having a job like Adam Richman's, considering I love food.

  4. I did Adam Richman, and it really was a blast learning and speaking about him. He is so funny, and he has a way with words. I agree with you about Janet Cooke. She didnt take her job seriously, and I would not want to bbe one of those kinds of journalist who have to make up a fake story just to be heard.

    1. Just from reading what you had to say about Sway, I think you would love the hear that just the other night he got to interview Taylor Swift! I am not 100% sure if you are a fan, but I thought it was very interesting to see him in action just after I presented the project. I also totally agree on Adam Richman... If only we could get paid to eat...
