CNN

My aunt just got a job at CNN! I am so proud. She will be retiring her weekly column in El Nuevo Herald and will be taking on a new job. Tia Mercy, known as Mercedes Soler to her audience, will be hosting a show in CNN Espanol called Notimujer. I think it is something like a talk show for women. It will be seen nationwide in spanish. She will also have a program on CNN internationally in english. I am confident that after 5 years off the market, she will do wonders. She took a refreshing break and is no ready to return to her motherland of TV. Watch out for her and tell me what you think!

Public Records

We've been learning about PUBLIC RECORDS in class. I find it so facinating how you can just go on a website, type a persons name, and find out information about them. This can be very useful for journalists but also very dangerous if the information fell into the wrong hands. I am a bit worried about the amound of information that is readily available for the world to see. It is an amazing tool for journalists to use when reporting on someone or something. However, I fear that criminals can use it for the wrong thing.

We've been playing around with the sites, so let's see how quickly I learn to navigate through these pages. Let's see who I will find information on!

Till next time...
