Last reading assignment

 55 thru 71: Bob Dotson explains to us that being a good reporter isn’t from the person it’s from the interviewer. They make the story better and more interesting to watch. So that’s why it’s the reporter’s job to make the story very exciting and not boring to watch. For instance if your reporting someone about something “drama” wise that happened you’d probably want to start the story off  by something blowing up or the something big your drama wise your reporting on something active then explain what there watching. Because pictures are very big things.

Mudhouse Stand-Up (Megan's Stand- Up)

Everybody knows to come downtown to the mudhouse for a great cup of coffee, but nobody wants coffee when its a 105 degress. For coffee shops like the mudhouse there is one way to beat the heat and that's the offer refreshing cold drinks. Another great thing about the mudhouse is once you get your drink and sit down there's alot of great art work.
