Why Did I Choose Leonard Pitts Jr.
I chose as my columnist Leonard Pitts Jr. from the Miami Herald. The reason I chose Leonard Pitts Jr. is because he seems like such a passionate writer. His article headings really grab your attention, and draw you in. So far he seems a little unbiased in his news articles that talk about things like politics. I think he’s the kinda columnist that will explain his opinion on the topic, but will also give you the other side and both with facts included. Also Leonard writes what he is really passionate about like there are articles about refugees, bullying, mass shootings, racism, and coming together as a community. He is the kind of columnist that makes me excited to read his news articles, and offers a variety of subjects to read. He will also

    Who Is Leonard Pitts Criticize Mcbudget?

    Leonard Pitts criticizes McBudget’s argument by making emphasis on the missing points that were not included on the budget. He considers McDonald’s budget as offensive and controversial. Also, Mr. Leonard believes that it is impossible for a millionaire company advice the poor people to continue surviving to poverty. In his opinion, the poor people cannot live on the totally unrealistic McBudget. According to McBudget the value for health insurance that nowadays everybody must have is 20 dollars only per month. The value of car and house insurance together is 100 dollars per month and expenses like gasoline and food are not included. This is more than unrealistic. It’s unseemly. Pitts recommends McDonald’s CEO to live on minimum wage for six months and prove that his budget can be done. I think it is a great idea.…

    Summary Of Steve Lopez: Humorous Columnist Of The La Times

    Steve Lopez and his exemplary column writing, which is recognized by a Pulitzer prize, makes readers of all ages ask how and why as they devour his richly written columns. In his columns for the Los Angeles Times, Lopez skillfully employs use of metaphors and juxtaposition among other devices to provoke his readers’ thoughts and exaggerate his often humorous or light hearted interpretations of the city that he lives in and the people who maintain it. With these techniques he hooks his readers on his writing style and keeps them coming back for more interesting comparisons and metaphors that describe the world around them.…

    Creative Strategies to Address Missouri Congressman Todd Akin's Article

    The strategies I would use for applying creativity to the problems and issues in addressing the topic of, Missouri Congressman Todd Akin, and the article on his stance on abortion and rape victims would be to first change the title of the article. While the title is very catchy and hooks the audience from the beginning, it also throws a big sign that says, “Read me I am biased”. The next strategy I would use would be analogy. This particular topic is a very sensitive topic and because of the sensitivity I would use free association along with analogy, and give real life examples and let the audience produce their own bias. I can see why the columnist has a bias but by using analogy, and free association I believe the same results can be achieved without shouting, “Hey, I am biased!”…

Peltier, a member of the American Indian movement was convicted for first degree murder in the shooting of two FBI agents during the 1975 Pine Ridge Indian Reservation conflict. In 1965, years before the conflict Leonard moved to Seattle Washington and became an owner of an auto body shop. While in Seattle Leonard became involved with many causes which supported Native American civil rights. Eventually Peltier joined the AIM, or the American Indian Movement. He began to learn about the dissenting tension at the Pine Ridge Indian Reserve in South Dakota between supporters of Richard Wilson, the tribal chairman elected in 1972 and the more traditionalist members of the tribe. Richard Wilson had created a militia known as GOONs or Guardians of the Oglala Nation. The members of this militia were alleged to have attacked political opponents. Protests over an unsuccessful prosecution hearing of Wilson contributed to the AIM armed takeover of Wounded Knee in 1973. This resulted in a 71-day barrier by federal forces, commonly known as the Wounded Knee Incident.…

    My Immigration Career

    With that in mind, my motivation to become a journalist stems from two sources: first, my coursework taught me that journalism, unlike many other professions, is enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. I never fully comprehended why until I spent time working under lawyers, politicians, and lobbyists, witnessing a side of society that needed to be held accountable. Secondly, my worldview— informed by the experiences of my own family and families like us— gave me a unique opportunity to see stories that others may not; that is, my background forces me to acknowledge the plight of those who are often overlooked. My mother, an immigrant, a brown-skinned woman of color, has a story that was not told until you read it a moment ago. My father, a blue-collar worker from rural England, grew up in a community where peoples’ voices were never heard, let alone listened to. Therefore, I decided to become a journalist because I knew that I needed to use my skills and my perspective to give a platform to those people and communities that are underrepresented, misrepresented, or in danger of being…
