"I am a man!" - Barbara Frum

The interview between Barbara Frum and Sandra Good was not as standard as most interviews. Frum had kept "her cool" by ignoring the rude comments made by Good and repeating the question over until it was finally answered. Frum acted in a professional manner by not letting any of Good's comments bother her.

If Frum had acted more aggressive in the interview she would have looked just as dumb as Sandra Good looked. Frum would have in no way been acting professional if she did act this way and many listeners wouldn't be satisfied with the behavior.

"When did you last see Lynette Fromme?". In my opinion I think that this is the most effective question that Frum asks. I believe this is the most effective because it shows the listeners that Good cannot give a direct answer because Frum has to continually repeat the question. This may cause listeners to suspect Good to have something to do with the crime that her roommate did.

Some important things to remember from the Terry Seguin presentation is while during an interview make sure that the question you asked is being answered. Also don't let the person being interviewed make you forget what you initially asked. Terry Seguin also said that he does not move on to the next question until the first one is answered, I believe that that's important while doing an interview because it lets the listeners know that you are not letting the person off easy.

By listening to Frum's interview I've learned to simply ignore the rude comments that are put toward you and carry on with the interview. I also learned to make sure that the question being asked is answered properly.

If I had the opportunity to interview one person I think I would choose Sean Graham. I would not choose Sean Graham because Terry Senguin had interviewed him but because of the driving law he had made for New Brunswick. I believe the laws he made for young drivers are unfair and I would love to have the opportunity to confront him about his stupid decision. I don't think the interview would be tough because if it went anything like Terry Senguin's, Sean Graham would just make himself look foolish. Each question wouldn't be overly hard to answer, therefore, he would not, or should not have a problem responding.

"The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool" - Stephen King

I have never read or watched anything that I thought was incorrect. I would believe anything advertised in newspapers or on the news because they are trusted sources.

I was shocked when reading that journalists have fabricated news. I don't think it should be as surprising as it is though, because journalists know that if people depends on their news then they will believe anything and everything.

I agree with Jack Shafer when he says "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." I agree with him because it is obvious that if a journalist cannot make a story up with correct news and facts than they do not have the ability to write. By making up false information they are not capable of what it takes to be a successful journalist.

I believe that colleges and universities should focus more on journalism students because of the fact that some of them do make up false information once they get into the career. I don't think that it should all be put on the schools but also the people who hire too. They should take a closer look at their resumes and maybe question them more, or give them a task to do before actually hiring them.

I think a news ombudsman would be very helpful because they would be able to investigate the situation more so than people in the work place. Because an ombudsman's responsibility is to respond to reader's complaints, they would be focused only on the job rather than someone who would have one or two other things to do.
