My First Day

I thought that my first day in the class that I am in would be boring but it has really surprised me. It is actually interesting. I am actually learning something and I cant even believe that. I should have known that every thing would be ok because my teacher is really cool. The way that he teaches he makes it fun and interesting. I never knew that I had an intrest in journalism because I dont like to type but I have fount that journalism is more than that, I can talk and speak my mind and that is something that I love to do talk!

The color of money

What do you think of when you hear the term "The Color of Money"? One might come up with the simple color of their dollar bill. The Color of Money is actually the title of an article about an investigation that one journalist by the name of Bill Dedman had finaly had completed in 1989 after about eight year of reseach and information gathering. Without the use of computers he would not have been able to do his research. Computers helped Dedman to find the information that he had needed in order to study facts and compare numbers and statistics.
One of the articles, Atlanta blacks losing in home loans scramble: Banks favor white areas by 5-1 margin, gives you an indepth look at Dedmans' findings. Inclosed in Dedmans' article was a detailed analyas on Atlanta's banks and savings and loan institutions, would give loan to the poor white neighborhoods in Atlanta, but they would not let the middle-class or upper scaled black neighborhoods receive any loans.
I felt that the article is speaking out on what many african americans have felt on the loan situation and this aritcle say what many banks dont want to say that why this article is so news worthy. I feel that nothing else could have been done in order to improve this paper because I feel that with the Freedom of Information Act, Dedman had enough information that he needed in order to clearly record and post his findings.
