The subjects that I have chosen are: an inanimate object, an animal, a landscape, a crowd/audience, and a child.
I have decided to work alone.
I am most likely going to need to borrow a camera from Mrs. Sine. I won't be able to show an example of action or timing with my phone, the picture will come out too blurry.

Photojournalism
To become a Photojournalist, one must have an education. Many colleges offer 4-year degrees in Photojournalism, but you can still receive a Photo-journalistic education by taking online classes, through a vocational school, or through hands-on experience as an apprentice.
One school that has a Photojournalism program is Lakewood High School.
As a Photojournalist, you can expect a varied salary, greatly depending on where it is that you live, and what you are doing.
When you work from 1-4 years you get $11.78 an hour
When you work from 5-9 years you get $14.43 an hour
When you work from 10-19 years you get $17.55 an hour
When you work from 20 +years you get $20.47 an hour
(-Yahoo Answers)
So the expected average salary for a Photojournalist per year is $60,183.
To prepare for an interview to be a Photojournalist, one must develop a resume, (a website or digital resume may be more enticing than a traditional resume,) along with a large portfolio of previous work, and of course, the knowledge of camera and photography usage.
I would not see Photojournalism as a possible profession for me in the future, for I have already decided that my future occupation will lie within the linguistic field/foreign language field.

CNN Student News Report
Today on CNN Student News:
The well-known oil company BP®, owes the largest criminal fine is U.S. history. Back in 2010, a BP® oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico exploded, leaking over 200 million gallons of oil into the surrounding waters. Serious environmental problems that had occurred on the U.S. Gulf of Mexico coastline had contributed to the massive debt owned by the company. Along with the already inflated debt, BP® will also pay 4.5 billion dollars that will cover other criminal charges and government penalties. BP® has also agreed to pay 20 billion dollars to cover damages caused by the spill, and nearly 8 billion dollars to private victims. It is suspected that from the time of the spill in 2010 to now, BP® has made almost 43 billion dollars in profits.

"The Great Debaters" Movie Review
"The Great Debaters," directed by Denzel Washington, starring Denzel Washington, Forest Whitaker, Nate Parker, Jurnee Smollett, and Denzel Whitaker is based on a true story about the triumphs of a Texan debate team whose leader is Mr. Tolsen (Washington.) The movie released in December of 2007 and grossed about $30,000,000 in box offices. The movie was distributed by The Weinstein Company (Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.) I had recently saw this move in class, and I found it to be quite enjoyable.
"The Great Debaters" takes place in 1930's Marshall, Texas, during the colored segregation era. At Wiley College, (a college specified for colored men and women only,) Mr. Tolsen (Washington)- a teacher at the college, inspires various youth to form a debate team for the school. At this, many men joined to form the group, and succeeded doing so. Meanwhile, a young woman named Samantha Booke (Smollett,) traveled to the city to be a part of the debate team. After several eliminations of members, 3 students were left overall, therefore creating the debate team. The resulting members; James L. Farmer Jr., Henry Lowe, and Samantha Booke, led the debate team into undefeated victory among debates between rival universities until the Wiley College team went on to challenge the Harvard University Debate team, and as the dust settles, the Wiley team reigns supreme.
The main characters include Mr. Tolsen, James L. Farmer Jr., Samantha Booke, and Henry Lowe. They each play an important part in the debate team, as well as the movie. James L. Farmer Jr. is the information gatherer and the researcher, he searches for information that will aid the team's argument on whatever subject is being debated. Along with this, James has a crush on Samantha, until his romantic feelings for her are disrupted when James finds Henry and Samantha having sexual relations. Samantha Booke is the second debater in command, and has feelings for Henry Lowe. As for Henry, he is the oldest, therefore the main debater. With his strong debating voice, he leads the team to victory, (not including the debate between Wiley College and Harvard University.) Lastly, there is Mr. Tolsen. Being the teacher/leader of the debate team, he uses unusual discipline methods to teach the team how to be.
Personally, I would recommend "The Great Debaters" to those who love Dramatic/Victorious movies that include hardships. As far as I'm concerned, I would see this movie again, however, to me it is not worthy of watching over and over again.
PROS:
-Strong plot
-Good story
-Believable time era
CONS:
-Flat characters
-Confusing introduction
-Boring, to be honest

Election Day
Who would you vote for and why?
I would vote for Obama again, the reasons being very vague, for I do not know the benefits or flaws of his. Many would oppose, saying that he has put the country farther into debt, and that he is the reason for the upcoming recession. I guess that would contribute to his flaws. From a non-politician's perspective, I believe that Obama should be re-elected as president.
