Yes or No? Using the following form to determine how you would respond to questions 1, 2 and 3.
News value: To let the public know their police officers and public officials are corrupt. The awarness would bring an opportunity for change.
Concerns: How the information is obtained. It may take a long time to get information.
Consequences:If the police, building inspectors and/or other officals find out about this then they may seek revenge (considering they are corrupt already).
Alternatives: A jornalist could sit at the bar and observe the interactions between the bar staff/operators and the public officials. The journalist could interview underage people who had been allegedly served and make reports of the over serving individuals while the police are present in the bar, obviously turning a blind eye.
Explanation:
1. Your reporters tell you that they have heard that police, building inspectors and other city officials are taking bribes to allow bars to operate illegally – overcapacity, over-serving, underage drinking, etc. Bar owners won’t cooperate on this story because they themselves are guilty of bribing public officials. Your reporters come up with a novel approach: Open a bar staffed by undercover reporters to see whether police and building inspectors seek bribes.
Costs aside, do you allow this deception in an attempt to expose public corruption?

News Feature: Story # 4
Four months ago Jesse Spencer, a junior at Washington State University, was prescribed Adderall to help him stay focused throughout the day while he attended classes. Due to his varying schedule on a day to day basis Spenser has found it difficult to take his Adderall at the same time every day. After about a month of being prescribed Adderall Spenser started experiencing the effects of insomnia.
“The side effects of staying awake for too long are very evident,” said Spenser. “It first starts with the shadows under my eyes, and then I usually start having hallucinations”.
Spencer returned to the doctor and was prescribed Ambien for his insomnia. It is difficult for Spencer to decide if he will take an Ambien before he attempts to go to sleep because it is required that he dedicates at least eight hours to it. Even when taking the Ambien sleep is hard to obtain due to the lingering effects of the Adderall.
“The Ambien puts me to sleep about one third of the time,” said Spencer. “If I stay awake past the time that you’re supposed to fall asleep in then I know I’m guaranteed to hallucinate.”
Sleep deprivation has a disproportional prevalence among college campuses. Many students attending college are faced with the task of balancing school, work and trying to maintain a social life. It is evident that sleep becomes less of a priority for many students as their responsibilities increase.
In order to cope with the many responsibilities of living a college lifestyle a growing trend has sparked. More than ever students have turned to utilizing caffeinated drinks and prescription stimulant drugs in attempts to compensate for lack of sleep and loss of focus. These products have been trapping many students in a vicious cycle of sleep deprivation.
The consequences of not getting enough sleep negatively affect both student’s grades and their short and long-term health. The National Sleep Foundation reports that weight gain, anxiety, loss of the ability to focus and hallucinations are just a few of the many serious repercussions of sleep deprivation.
WSU psychology major, Amy Hjelt, is like many other college students who juggle several daily responsibilities. Hjelt begins her day with classes followed by either work or contributing her time to Alternatives to Violence of the Palouse. She then must make time to do school work while trying to spare some time for socializing with friends. Since Hjelt switched her major to psychology last year she has learned the importance of getting enough time for sleep each night.
“The classes I have taken since declaring psychology have made me aware that sleep needs to remain a priority so I can sustain myself throughout the week,” said Hjelt.
Hjelt got her sleep schedule on a healthy track by first cutting out energy drinks and coffee in order to prevent a mid day crash.
“It was hard at first to not get an energy drink after classes,” said Hjelt. “After about a week I noticed I had better quality sleep at night and I didn’t feel as anxious before falling asleep.”
Professor teaching psychology 328: psychology of self-control, Dr. Samantha Swindell explained to her students during lecture a helpful technique that can assist individuals who have trouble falling asleep at night. Swindell recommended narrowing the actions that occur in ones bed to only sleep and sex. This will help one to fall asleep more rapidly.
Many students are unaware of the consequences that pushing sleep lower on their priority list has on their health and scholastic performance.
“Sleep needs to be made a priority, especially in college, in order to be mentally and physically healthy,” said Hjelt. “If not you’re going to burn out.”
Outline
Lede: Jesse’s story – Adderall to focus insomnia Ambien to sleep hallucinations = vicious cycle.
Nut graph: Pressure of fulfilling many responsibilities required from college students leads to use of caffeinated and stimulating products. These products can/usually do lead to sleep deprivation.
Body: Amy’s story – has become more aware (through taking more psychology classes) of how energy drinks had been negatively affecting her. She broke the cycle compensating for lack of sleep with energy drinks and now feels more balanced.
Dr. Samantha Swindell, Psychology professor, gave tips on how to fall asleep faster in order to get a good night sleep.
Conclusion: Quote – highlighting that sleep is needed to prevent illness and to keep up in school.

Martha Mendoza 3/3
3/3/10 Noon.
Martha Mendoza spoke to a group on Wednesday about her career of being a journalist. She shared with a group of about 20 people the eye-opening impact that journalism has on society. Mendoza explained how newspaper reporting has unveiled and stoped groups such as the KKK and uncovered buried scandals.
She gave the group a handout of a story she wrote about the Korean War. It uncovered the massacre American GIs carried out in innocent Korean refugees in 1950. Mendoza said it took four months of investigating, reporting and arguing with editors to get this story out.
Mendoza also informed listeners about the dangerous lifestyle journalist endure in order to do their job. She reported that approximatley 800 journalists have been killed since 1992, and 71 of the deaths occured last year.
Mendoza encouraged students to pursue journalism if they truly enjoyed the experiences they have had so far. She noted that she had been discouraged in the past by being told there was a diminishing market for journalists. She said if she made it in the profession that she wanted to tell students interested in journalism it was possible.
