Advanced Journalism (Wednesday, April 12, 3rd period)

"Morning," Rita said. On the students' desks, there were copies of the latest few issues of school paper. "Today, we're talking about editing and proofreading others' work. Find something in the last three issues that you find to be poor journalism, for whatever reason."

"What information?" Rita asked, ignoring the first statement because he was actually right.

"Well, in the Shipping News, there was absolutely nothing mentioned about your renewed relationship with Wilbur."

Rita sighed, and toyed with a pair of children's scissors on her desk, which she had picked up out of curiosity the week before.

"As that column seems to be mostly fluff and mostly subjective, there's no reason why it should be entirely conclusive."

"Yeah, but sometimes it's a cute column," John remarks. "And it did bring us such great events as boykissy and girlkissy."

"The question isn't whether it's cute, Mr. Crichton. I'm not arguing that," Rita replied. "It's whether it's inclusive enough to mention every relationship on campus. And I doubt that it does; ergo, your point doesn't stand."

"Bummer. But, my first point? How was that?"

"...I suppose that makes sense, but it's also not presented as fact, is it?"

"Your instructions didn't say to find bad factual arguments," John points out. "It was a generalization made in the media. The author used Fandom as an overlay for everyone. Can't do that."

Rita...actually smiled.

"Well done."

"What?" John cups a hand near his ear. "I'm sorry...could you repeat that?"

"I said well done. Don't ruin it."
