Journalism 101/201 (Wednesday, April 19 - 5th period)

On their desks, students will find copies of an article.

"What can you tell me about this?" Rita asked simply. "I just want to hear what you, as readers of this journalistic work, think."


[OOC: So, here's the deal on those interview things. You have until SATURDAY to give me a subject, where you might be going, and why you're interviewing them in the comments here. And thanks to the magic of Fandom, you know you guys can leave and come back on the same afternoon, and go...pretty much anywhere, right? Preplay is love for that kind of thing.]

Anakin snorted at the article. "This sounds like home," he said. "Except they're not being sarcastic."

"We're having a bit of a governmental meltdown," Anakin said, looking at the top of his desk.

Anakin pointed at the last line of the article. "We've had over 200 years of being Americans. I don't think we still need the United States of America to show us how to do it," he read aloud. He raised an eyebrow. "That can't possibly be serious."

"Maybe," Anakin said. "But I don't think it's that likely. "I mean, I understand the idea of government collapse, but not like this."

Anakin wrinkled his forehead in thought. "I'd say satirical," he offered finally. "Because there's a point they're trying to make about the general apathy of the population that they chose to address through this sort of article."

"I think The Onion is having an off week. They're usually much funnier than this."

Subject name: Skank Zero Hopeless-Savage

Why are you interviewing them: She's had an interesting life in that she's the product of a completely functional punk rock star marriage. This is not common.

Subject name: Rory Gilmore
Any off-campus interaction/date thereof: Heading to Stars Hollow, CT on Friday to meet her family.
Why are you interviewing them: Someone who grew up in a small town on this planet and didn't know about life on other worlds before coming to Fandom? It's too interesting an opportunity to pass up.
