2. The video made me think deeper about how a few words can change other's whole outlook on a situation.
3. To show us how we can change our words to make our stories more interesting and powerful.
4. Instead of just writing the plain, boring facts, connect to the readers and relate it to a more local source. Also, make it more interesting and appealing.
5. I think The Guardian covered the story 5 different times in different ways.
6. The story is not the same as I remember it, there wasn't insurance in the original.
7. They covered the accusation, the details, court trials, and the pigs' confession.
8. I'm pretty sure they covered it all with minor changes.
9. They didn't offer their opinion, only the twitter comments did.
10. I believe we can do the same at Bowie.

This semester on staff I learned that you can't wait for things to happen, you have to make them happen. Waiting will only cause you to miss deadline and write bad stories. Next semester I want to get better at doing things in a timely manner and write longer stories. If I can get the hang of doing interviews quickly, I'll have more time to write my stories.
I think there should be more communication between editors and staff. Throughout most of the six weeks, there is no talking and then everyone scrambles to get everything edited and on the paper. If there were small changes and edits along the way, it wouldn't be as much work in the end.
