WGIJ 2nd paper

This chapter was inspiring. It makes you proud to be in a country where you can hold you govermant accountable for its actions with out fear for you life unlike other countries around the world. This made me think of the story that was done years ago here in San Diego. This was were a report found information about a governance official that didnt quite add up. This reporter found that this person was paying other judges in the country to vote in his favor.

The report published the findings and made the government take legal action on the parties involved. This is what journalism is about. Being a 'Watch Dog' and keeping the government in line by keeping an eye on them. This chapter inspires me to not be afraid to ask the hard questions. It our job as journist to ask the question that nobody wants to ask, but need to know the answers.
