What credentials are needed to be an investigative journalist/reporter?


So, you might think that most people qualified to do investigations have actual college credits? What is an investigative reporter? Do they hold degrees in investigations? Having worked for a non-profit… all investigators were college trained with degrees …  Is it his job or the job of anyone else? Seems like media coverage out of control … is it over the edge… could it be slander? Defamation of character? Station after station … gotta say I was proud of londell … the news community needs to be warned … and that’s my opinion

and who is buying the comment made by diane diamond about speaking ill of the dead?

As TV viewers, what can we do? We listen to the continual bombardment of negative news … that poor family

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anderson Hays Cooper (born June 3, 1967) is an American journalist, author, and a television personality. He currently works as the primary anchor of the CNN news show Anderson Cooper 360°.

is it really his job to investigate? or is it to report the news because that definitely is not what is going on.

is anyone else upset these tv personalities are saying they have the facts … do they really because it sure doesn’t sound like it.

Misty Copeland & Stella Abrera are Promoted to Principal Dancers at ABT


Misty Copeland was fast becoming the most famous ballerina in the United States — making the cover of Time magazine, 4/16/2015 being profiled by “60 Minutes,” growing into a social media sensation and dancing ballet’s biggest roles on some of its grandest stages. But another role eluded her: She was still not a principal dancer.

Until Tuesday, when Ms. Copeland became the first African-American woman to be named a principal in the 75-year history of American Ballet Theater.
