September 17, 2010 (Friday) – Due to boredom I went to Robinsons Pala-Pala and bought this scholastic book entitled “The Landry News.” This quite intriguing, an old teacher gets a new student. I guess it was a love story. I was right, it is a story on which a student inspired by his teacher’s sense of nobility. And vice versa.
Well, the teacher who didn’t teach anything and let his students do what they can learn is great. Cara Landry, the editor-in-chief of her won newspaper – The Landry News – not just explores journalism but Truth and Mercy.
Her teacher (Mr. Larson) was in a dilemma to lose his job due to the “malicious” article of Michael Morton. It is about his write up due to his divorcee parents and his feeling adjacent to it. Perhaps, the principal took advantage of the issue. However, it is an issue that is worth sociological and journal. In the end, Mr. Larson was VINDICATED.
The lesson of the story is Truth and Mercy in writing. Journalists and writers have rights and freedom to express their feelings and ideas. However, they have to deal with the feelings of the subject. Whether it must be published for their own cause or not, and whether it will help or hurt the person, it is responsible journalism.
I absolutely recommend this scholastic story for all Mass Communication, teachers and wan-to-be journalists and writers someday. It shows and tells us a lesson of human relations. Two thumbs up!
