The ' should not be after the s

It should be $1 Million

                                                 

The th should not be there. 

It should be fliers.

Since it is the beginning of a sentence, it should be spelled out. 

It should be lower case.

Four of these were found in magazines and newspapers. The other two were fliers.

How Wired Are You

After taking the 'How Wired Are You' quiz, I found out there is more for me to learn when it comes to computers, the web and media. I scored a 10, which said that I have time to reboot and install lots of new brainware. I feel like I am pretty good when it comes to cell phones, but when it comes to building web sites and editing movies, I am not to good. 


In one of my classes that I am taking now, I am blogging regularly and am learning how to create a web site. I think this class will really help me gain knowledge of what to do on computers in a more professional sense and not just roaming the web.

Life Lessons

Gordon Greb joined San Jose State once again, on Wednesday Oct. 5, to relay his message on how we can succeed.

As the founder of broadcast journalism in 1957 at San Jose State, the 90-year-old man has experienced many different types of communication. He has experience as an actor, writer, reporter, editor, producer, news director, news anchor, TV and radio documentary producer, call-in show host, narrator, and station manager.

After going to UC Berkley, University of Minnesota and Stanford, Greb has become a very knowledgeable man. He said to the audience, “Study the Constitution and exercise your rights.” This became useful when he wrote to the U.S. Supreme Court saying they could not censor movies under the First Amendment. Because Greb was so knowledgeable, he won his fight against the Supreme Court.

As a journalist, he knew that we have freedom of speech and he enforced that. He also knew that as a journalist you had to push the limit and ask questions. Asking questions defined a journalist, when it comes to Gordon Greb. He knew that being a journalist meant that people trusted you to inform them. He was good at informing and pushing the limit, which is why he was so great.

Gordon Greb knew to get somewhere, it would not just happen; we needed to fight for it. He fought for the chance to have his own news program at 21-years-old. Greb never had anything fall into his lap. He told us that “[We] are the future [and we must] think as we the people.” We need to be go-getters and grab our goals, just like Gordon Greb did.

As Gordon Greb found success in the broadcasting business, he found success elsewhere. Greb found success as being a father and grandfather. Although he has accomplished many goals regarding broadcast news and has furthered communications, he loves to be with family. His last words as a professor were “Take care of the children and we will be alright.”
