Advanced Journalism (Tuesday, March 14 - 2nd period)

Rita smiled a little tiredly, but triumphantly.

1. What are the four basic things you must keep in mind when preparing for an interview?

2. In your opinion, is it more or less difficult to conduct an unbiased interview with someone you know versus someone you do not?

3. Define investigative journalism in your own words.

4. What is a bias? What can we, as people who work in the media, do to counter bias in our own work?

5. Where is Professor Skeeter from?

6. What does she do to students who misbehave in her class?

Extra credit:

Which animals has John Crichton been turned into?

How many people were on the radio last night (broadcasting)?

[Handwavey is fine.]

"You're not comfy and cozy? Or should I say you're not comfinated and cozyinated?"

"Move. You're heavy. Probably due to being pudgy."

John scowls at her. "And, from this close, I can see all your wrinkles. You've got crow's feet. I shall call them Telemachus and Ferguson."

"And I suggest you move before I start examining your skin and naming blemishes."

"This doesn't bring back memories of your precious Umberto and when you rocked him to sleep?" John bats his eyelashes at her. "We can re-enact if need be."

"No, because my children are un-pudgy and adorable," Rita said pointedly. "And not irritating."

"You know, your gray hair really accentuates your face," John says, nodding. "And what's that perfume? Is that...Ben Gay?"

"I don't have gray hair. And I'm not wearing pefume. As you evidently aren't, either," she said, wrinkling her nose.

"Does that mean I can't have a hug?"

"Get off me. Now."

"I can't," John says, eyes going wide. "I think I'm hypnotized by the flecks of blue and gray in your eyes and the way the sun makes your wrinkles simply glow. And your bifocals? They're just marvelous."

"Would you like detention? And Ms. Gilmore, stop whatever you're doing."

Rory put down her phone, content with the photos anyway.

John gives Rita one big hug before finally getting off her.

Rita just sort of sat there looking shell-shocked.

"I know." John pats Rita's shoulders comfortinatingly. "I'm a good hugger."

Rita stared at him. "But you were a hideous little creature. Ha."

"And then I was in your lap and you held me like someone broken," John points out. "It was...it was like I was the wind beneath your wings for that one moment in time and if you asked me to, I would say your heart was going to go on."

Rita blinked.

"It wasn't in any danger of stopping."

John shakes his head.

"You don't even know Can't Touch This?" And John totally does the MC Hammer in front of Rita.

If it was possible to vocalize, "...", she would have.

John stops dancing and laughs.

"You're one of a kind, Professor. Don't ever change."

"I'll try," Rita said dryly.

"See you tomorrow!" John gathers his books, tries to forget that he sat on Rita's lap for nearly twenty minutes and walks calmly out of the classroom.

When he gets back to his room, he strips off his pants and burns them.
