Opening Activity: video

What is a sound bite?: A little piece of an interview that you will use in the story. A piece of audio that can stand alone. As a reporter, we can edit what they say- the most important point.

B Roll: The footage of whatever you're covering. It goes over your interviews.

Opening Activity: Macy's plans to hire 78,000 people for seasonal jobs

2. The angle is toward all people that are in need of a job

3.  -Unusual

4.  I would make this a broadcasting journalism piece by interviewing Macy employees- especially the manager. Interviewing people looking for a job and what this means to them. You can put in the piece of unemployment and how major companies are beginning to go upward in hiring more people. I would shoot Macy's store, inside, outside, the sign, I would add footage of consumers.

Opening Activity: 38 Dogs taken from home near Hibbing, Minnesota

Authorities rescued 38 starving Siberian Huskies in Orr, Minnesota. The owner, Deborah Anne Boucha, sent a note to the Hibbing sheriff saying that she and her dogs were starving. The dogs were taken from the home and brought to Range Regional Rescue in Hibbing. The dogs were diagnosed with dehydration, anemic and underweight. The dogs are on hold from adoption for 10 days while the court proceedings move forward.

It is very good that these dogs were taken. All of the Huskies were starving and the authorities rescued the animals. I was glad Boucha was brave enough to say that she could not provide for the dogs. Hopefully all of the animals will find a home during the adoption process

Opening Activity: Two hikers released from Iranian jail after 2 years in prison

Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal are finally being released from prison. Both men were released for $1 million dollar bail. Bauer and Fattal were convicted of spying in 2009 while hiking in the mountains on the border of Northern Iraq and Iran. I think it is awesome that these 2 men can finally be released after Bauer's future wife (who he proposed to in prison) are free. I am glad that they can finally see their families once again.
